John Paul Quote

[Frank_Roman]

I need help.

Pope John Paul the Great said somthing to the effect of

“in the person of Jesus Christ God reveals to man what it means to be truly man.”

Does anyone know the exact quote and where it comes from?

Thanks!

Is this it?

**Human beings, in a certain sense, are unknown to themselves. Jesus Christ not only reveals God, but “fully reveals man to man”. **

It can be found here:
LETTER OF HIS HOLINESS
POPE JOHN PAUL II
TO ARTISTS
1999

It is in the section at the bottom entitled An Appeal to Artists (#14).

The “fully reveals man to man” is referenced here::
(23) SECOND VATICAN ECUMENICAL COUNCIL, Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World Gaudium et Spes, 22.
