When Wisdom, as it is written, builded her an house [Prov 9:1] and pitched the truer tabernacle (that is, the Temple of the Virgin), God the Word, who is in the Bosom of God the Father, came down thereinto in a manner incomprehensible and God-befitting, and was made Man, that to those who are already enlightened, and walk as in the day, as Paul saith, He might be a cloud overshadowing them, and put an end to the heat of our passions from infirmity: but to those who are still ignorant, and straying, and living as it were in night and darkness, a fire to give light and transform to fervency of spirit. --From his Commentary on the Gospel of John (Bk. 4, Ch. 4) by St. Cyril of Alexandria
