St. Leo the Great on Joyful Hope in God

"If [Christ] were not true God, he would not be able to bring us healing; if he were not true man, he would not be able to give us an example…. 
"If the angels on high are so exultant at this marvelous work of God's goodness (the Incarnation), what joy should it not bring to the lowly hearts of men?"
St. Leo the Great, Sermo 1 in Nativitate Domini, 2.3.
