God speaks so that you can understand him

God could have remained out of reach, far above what fits in a human head. Instead, he came close to our way of understanding: he spoke in human words, through a concrete history, through signs and, above all, through Jesus Christ. That doesn't make him small. It shows his humility: he makes himself understandable so that you can know him and answer him freely. That's why faith can speak of him in everyday words, knowing at the same time that his mystery is always greater than our ideas.
