On Nature


"Nature leads us beyond itself. Nature is nothing but the motion image of the eternal Thought." [Logos.]
-Sertillanges, O.P. Catéchisme des Incroyants, vol. 1 p. 16 (Plinthos translation)

That "eternal Thought" has also it's Nature: the Supernatural. Furthermore "it" is Persona: He. The eternal Thought is the Person of the eternal Son of the Father: the Logos.

So, the uncreated Supernatural took created nature upon Himself. He made Himself natural Man, while maintaining Supernatural Nature. And so He is in eternity: two natures in one divine Person.

Therefore, in Jesus Christ, nature leads perfectly to Himself. In Him, and in Him alone, nature and the eternal Thought are one! perfect God and perfect man in the one and eternal Logos of the Father and the Holy Spirit. The goal is won!
