In a bold attempt to find something positive in this dark and barbarous time, my mind goes to the Incarnation. Here's some Austin Farrer:
"We cannot understand Jesus as simply the God-who-was-man. We
have left out an essential factor, the sonship. Jesus is not simply God
manifest as man; he is the divine Son coming in manhood. What was expressed in
human terms here below was not bare deity; it was divine sonship. God cannot
live an identically godlike life in eternity and in a human story. But the
divine Son can make an identical response to his Father, whether in the love of
the blessed Trinity or in the fulfillment of an earthly ministry. All the
conditions of action are different on the two levels; the filial response is
one. Above, the appropriate response is a co-operation in sovereignty and an
interchange of eternal joys. Then the Son gives back to the Father all that the
Father is. Below, in the incarnate life, the appropriate response is an
obedience to inspiration, a waiting for direction, an acceptance of suffering,
a rectitude of choice, a resistance to temptation, a willingness to die. For such
things are the stuff of our existence; and it was in this very stuff that
Christ worked out the theme of heavenly sonship, proving himself on earth the
very thing he was in heaven; that is, a continuous perfect act of filial love."
I like that, a lot.
