Human Nature

I was very intrigued by Father Jack Brennan's statement that we have a tendancy not to appreciate our own and others' humanity.  Maybe so, but, it is Christ's humanity and our humanity that emphasizes our greatness - our potential for being with Christ.  If we did not have fear, disappointment, anger or mistrust then our actions would be automatic with no real struggle and no free will.  Our faith is made more holy by our struggle to believe.  Our divinity comes from how we deal with our mortality - our human nature.  We struggle to rise above our human nature to have compassion, to love the unlovable, to face dangers with fear throbbing in our throat.  Jesus went through all these emotions and showed us how to live, how to love, how to die and ultimately to have faith in our love and in God's love.  How can we not embrace our humanity?
