Servus Dei the Bishop

Servus Dei the bishop wrote against those who say that Christ, while he lived in this world, did not see the Father with his eyes of flesh, but only after his resurrection from the dead and his ascension into heaven, when he had been taken up into the glory of God the Father, as a reward, so to speak, for his self-denial and a compensation for his martyrdom. In this work he showed, both by his own argument and from the testimony of the Sacred Scriptures, that the Lord Jesus, from his conception by the Holy Spirit and his birth from the Virgin, in which true God was born in true man, he himself also being man made God, always beheld with his eyes of flesh both the Father and the Holy Spirit, through the special and complete union of God and man.
