Aquinas: the two natures demonstrated

Feast of Thomas Aquinas, Priest, Teacher of the Faith, 1274
Meditation:
Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.
—Isaiah 7:14 (NIV)

Quotation:
Christ wished so to show the reality of His body, as to manifest His Godhead at the same time. For this reason He mingled wondrous with lowly things. Wherefore, to show that His body was real, He was born of a woman. But in order to manifest His Godhead, He was born of a virgin, for “such a Birth befits a God,” as Ambrose says in the Christmas hymn.
... Thomas Aquinas (1225?-1274), Summa Theologica [1274], Benziger Bros. edition, 1947, p. III, q. xxviii, a. 2 (see the book)
See also Isa. 7:14; Matt. 4:2; Luke 1:26-35; 24:39-43; John 1:14; Rom. 8:3-4; 1 Tim. 3:16; Heb. 2:14-15; 1 John 4:2-3

Quiet time reflection:
Lord, You share our humanity.
