human being and, in so doing, simultaneously shows us what it is to be a human being. Connecting the end -"It is finished"- with the beginning - "Let us make a human being"- Fr John Behr challenges us to think again about who we are, as male and female, what we are called to become, and the relation between life and death in this journey.
