“‘Unto us a Child is born.’ A Child who is the ancient of days. Child in bodily form and age; ancient of days in the Word’s eternity past understanding. And though, as the ancient of days, he is not a child, still he is always new; indeed he is just as new as newness itself which remains always in him and renews all things. Every single thing grows old just so much as it recedes from him, and is renewed in the degree that it returns. And, in a way unheard of, the reason for his youth and age is one and the same, for his eternity has no beginning in birth nor decline in old age. For him, his very newness is ancient and his antiquity new!’”
~St. Bernard of Clairvaux
