In orthodox Christianity, this is known as a "divine mystery' so you should understand that any "simple" explanation will be far from perfect. Attempts to fully comprehend Jesus' divinity was what led to the development of the doctrine known as the Trinity, wherein the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are viewed as being like the 3 different corners of the SAME triangle, yet each distinct. Jesus offers some interesting insights when you read how he both interacted and referred to His Father, particularly when he stated "I and the Father are one," and "he who has seen me has seen the Father. Jesus also accepted "worship" from His disciples, something reserved exclusively for God Himself.
We must understand that God must clearly be a far more complex being than we can grasp with our finite minds. That is because He is "spirit", a concept in itself difficult to grasp on any level. We tend to limit our thinking about God to somehow be a "singular" and somewhat "finite" being, mainly because our reference to everything, since birth, has been limited to defining things within the confines of 3 dimensions, subject to time and space. God is infinite. He exists everywhere, even beyond the furthest galaxy, with no distinction in His world of that place being any "closer" or "farther" than any place else.
Although scripture states clearly that Jesus was with the Father "from the beginning", Jesus nonetheless entered our physical world of time and space but did so WITHOUT losing any aspect of His divinity, yet was fully made a flesh-and-blood man.
I hope this helps...

What is high Christology?
Christians believe that Jesus Christ was God-incarnate; thus Jesus was truly God and truly human. However, Christians approach this belief in more than one way. Some writers emphasise the divinity of Jesus, others emphasise the humanity whilst still others strive to maintain a balance. When people emphasise Christ's divinity, sometimes to the expense of His humanity, this is termed "High Christology" (Christology being the study of Christ). People who stress the divinity of Christ will lay emphasis on (a) miracles (b) Jesus' union with the will of His Father (c) the Gospel account of John, which has a high Christological approach. Conversely, when Christians emphasise Christ's humanity this is termed "Low Christology". Such people will stress (a) Christ's suffering (b) His struggles (c) the Gospel accounts of Mark and Luke.

Simple, Catholics are taught and believe that they are judged (and saved or condemned) by the way they treat every single person in front of them, whether they see Christ in them or not. They are to treat "the least of these" as they would treat Christ, and Christ says that is how they will be judged - read Matthew 25:31-46.
