without his presence; together with his Father, he continually
filled all things and places.

Out of his loving-kindness for us he came to us, and we see
this in the way he.... did not want creation to perish and his
Father’s work in fashioning man to be in vain. He therefore took
to himself a body, no different from our own, for he did not wish

simply to be in a body or only to be seen.
If he had wanted simply to be seen, he could indeed have
taken another, and nobler, body. Instead, he took our body in

its reality.

Back to our identity. Jesus did not easily share His identity at
first. He had His hidden life for 30 years, he went only to the
lost sheep of Israel because they already were part of the

children of God (Dt 32:18 says God Fathered them and gave

them birth). He had a unique calling, for when the townspeople
wanted Him to stay with them or another time when a crowd
wanted to make him King by force he followed his own calling-

pointing out the true bread and kingship is internal and
eventually eternal. He develops this in John 6 that His body

and blood will give that to them. See the passage from The
Hours of the Passion 11pm Hour below.

In Colossians 1 below we see how Jesus by shedding his
blood does this as expressed by St Paul. How? Not just

because of dying which is not merely a balancing of justice but
also because of how he died (in Lk 23:47 the centurion seeing

how he died said this was a Son of God). Jesus felt in the
Divine Will every human act and felt a pain and offered a

perfect, infinite and eternal act to the father. This is true
bleeding! The Hours of the Passion book reveals this internal

dynamic powerfully. See the extract from 1pm hour below.

… my amiable Jesus seems to say to me: "Ah, my child, let us

weep together for the lot of so many souls consecrated to Me
who, for little trials or for incidents of life, no longer attend to Me
