““This is nothing more than the application of a universal law, a law in effect since the time human beings were human beings: “A person rediscovers himself in a living encounter.”17 But here, in the encounter with the presence of the Mystery become a human fact, this law is fulfilled, becomes definitively true, because “it is in an encounter that I become aware of myself…. The ‘I’ awakens from its imprisonment in its original womb, awakens from its tomb, from its sepulcher, from its closed situation of origin and—as it were—‘resurrects,’ becomes aware of itself, precisely in an encounter.””
