Man—and this is the bottom line of the Magnificat—has
to enter into a state of humility, that is, of knowledge of God-All, and
experience his own nothingness. At the moment in which man enters into this
experience of nothingness, he exalts the experience of the God-All, and God can
act tranquilly in his soul, without the danger that man might become proud and
attribute to himself the effect of God’s work. Thus God is exalted when He has
"free rein" with man because it is through man’s nothingness that He
can act completely freely, performing great things. (The New Man)
