Thomas Sherman, S.J. demonstrates that according to Martin Buber, “we can address and be addressed by God as our eternal You vis-à-vis each other in willing to encounter each other as You, in believing in our own individual reality as standing apart from each other within the context of a religious destiny, and in being open to the grace of our mutual response” (29). Sherman contends that we can indeed conclude that for Buber, “in addressing and being addressed by God as the eternal You in our addressing and being addressed” as You by each other, “the reciprocity characteristic of all human I-You relations finds its completion in the I-You relation between human beings and God” (66).
