God came to Earth to be like us, and placed Himself in the context of family, to show us in that sacred community how we can live out the virtues that make Him present to each other.
We do this by faith, like Abram had faith that God would fulfill His promises to bring forth for Him a child, the substance of a covenant that served as the basis for the Law that Mary and Joseph obeyed when they offered up Jesus to God, whom Simeon and Anna proclaimed as the One Who would bring salvation to God's people.
We open ourselves up to the favor of God as we offer ourselves up to God by sharing what He has given us to others, His very presence abiding in us, known through living out the virtues that come from Light, Life, and Love, made known in Christ, Who made them real in living as a human in family life.
