“I have the immense joy of being man, a member of a race in which God Himself became incarnate. As if the sorrows and stupidities of the human condition could overwhelm me, now I realize what we all are. And if only everybody could realize this! But it cannot be explained. There is no way of telling people that we are walking around shining like the sun.” – Thomas Merton (in Nouwen’s ‘Reaching Out’)
