Paragraph 1. THE SON OF GOD BECAME MAN
477
At the same time the Church has always acknowledged that in the body of Jesus
“we see our God made visible and so are caught up in love of the God we
cannot see.”114 The individual characteristics of Christ’s body
express the divine person of God’s Son. He has made the features of his human
body his own, to the point that they can be venerated when portrayed in a holy
image, for the believer “who venerates the icon is venerating in it the
person of the one depicted”.115
