An Epiphany of Reason and Humility

He has revealed Himself. He personally. And now the way to Him is open. The novelty of the Christian announcement does not consist in a thought, but in a fact: God has revealed Himself. Yet this is no blind fact, it is a fact that is, itself, Logos -- the presence of eternal reason in our flesh. Verbum caro factum est (John 1:14)... It is a rational fact. Naturally, the humility of reason is always needed in order to accept it. It takes man's humility to respond to God's humility.

-Benedict XVI
