September 26 – St. Gregory of Nyssa from the Great Catechism

A patient, to be healed, must be touched; and humanity had to be touched by Christ. It was not in “heaven”; so only through the Incarnation could it be healed. —” It was, besides, no more inconsistent with His Divinity to assume a human than a “heavenly” body; all created beings are on a level beneath Deity. Even “abundant honor” is due to the instruments of human birth. — Chapters XXVII., XXVIII.
