“Impassible suffering already characterizes the God of Israel prior to the Annunciation. Do we not see an impassible sufferer when he creates a free humanity whom he approaches as a lover? In approaching her, does he not make himself vulnerable to being rejected by her?”

“The act of yielding up his ‘Adamly’ soul is the human realization of the Son’s eternally eager readiness to do that which the Father wills.”
