TCR 102 - Thus God Became Man, and Man God, in One Person

TCR 102 [1, 3]

It is believed that the Lord as to His Human
not only was, but also is,
the Son of Mary;
but in this the Christian world is mistaken.
That He was the Son of Mary is true,
but that He still is, is not true;
for by the acts of redemption
He put off the Human derived from the mother
and put on the Human from the Father.
Consequently the Human of the Lord is Divine,
and in Him God is Man, and Man God.
That He put off the Human from the mother,
and put on the Human from the Father,
which is the Divine Human,
is evident from the fact
that He never called Mary His mother.

It was once granted me
to speak with Mary, the mother.
She was then passing by,
and appeared in heaven over my head,
clothed in white raiment like silk.
Pausing for a little
she said that she had been the mother of the Lord,
for He was born of her;
but that He, having become God,
put off all the Human He had from her;
and therefore that she now worships Him as her God,
and is unwilling that any one
should acknowledge Him as her Son,
because the whole Divinity is in Him.
