Paragraph 6. MAN
371
God created man and woman together and willed each for the other. the Word of
God gives us to understand this through various features of the sacred text.
“It is not good that the man should be alone. I will make him a helper fit
for him.”242 None of the animals can be man’s partner.243
The woman God “fashions” from the man’s rib and brings to him elicits
on the man’s part a cry of wonder, an exclamation of love and communion:
“This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh.”244
Man discovers woman as another “I”, sharing the same humanity.
