Hic verbum caro factum est

The latin translates roughly as "here the word became flesh." This statement is on a little plaque in the Church of the Annunciation in Nazareth. This statement also symbolizes the difference between wanting to know what I must do to be saved and becoming a follower of Christ. For my human living it describes the journey from ethics to ethos. Ethics is about knowing the rules, ethos is about a way of living based on sanctified desire. Today is the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord. You can find readings here, and a sermon here.
