Hans Urs von BalthasarHoliness in the Everyday
Adrienne von Speyr“It is a tribute to the Father that the Son is perfect in his humanity, because the Son thereby justifies the Father’s creation. But his perfection is an act and an achievement of his love for the Father and for human beings. His love is so great that it is able to embody the Father’s holiness in human form.”
