From Advent 2009:

The gospel of God is not so much that God comes to save us but that God saves us by coming to us, by coming and being with us as one of us. God’s saving presence is manifested and accomplished not by the Divine waving a magic celestial wand that wipes away all personal, communal, and cosmic conflict and pain but rather by God in Jesus being with us and all creation in compassionate solidarity. But the Divine oblation incarnated in Jesus is also the human obligation to be incarnated by us.
