        • verbum domini 12

      • sacramental nature of reality - the world and everything in it is a sign of Gods love, gods presence and love can be see throughout the world
        • before the incarnation god was seen as a distant being
          • jesus was the ultimate gift from god
            • people can see god as a living and active presence
              • jesus' spirit is still active and still bringing gods love and presence into the world

  • 'life in man is the glory of God'
    • 'the glory of God is a human being, fully alive'
    • Jesus was the perfect human being, he always followed gods wishes and perfectly displayed all the qualities that God wants people to have
      • there he is fully alive and the glory of god - he sets an example for all Christians to follow
  • the incarrnation is important becuase Jesus helped humans to come to know god and allowed them to become more fully alive and reveal gods glory

  • imago dei - image of god
    • CC teaches humans are made imago dei, therefore all life is holy and should be protected
      • because human life begins at conception, this protection should extend to unborn fetuses and that's why the CC is against abortion
