Does Jesus really understand your joys and your sorrows? When you lift up your burdens to him and ask for help, does he understand what you are feeling? It might have been hard to say "yes" if Jesus had not fully shared in our human nature. But Jesus went through the stages of growth as we do, and he knew the joys and sorrows that are a part of every human life.
I think God always knew all about us, because we are part of his creation. But when God's son took on our human nature, it became easier for us to believe that God understood who we are and what we feel.
Thank you, Jesus, for the great mercy you have shown by fully becoming one of us.
Fr. Kenneth Grabner, C.S.C.
