On the Divine Image

CIMG0279

Question: How can human beings be in the image of God when they are so wretched and so ugly?

Reply: We are raw stuff, like a piece of wood, and God is carving us all the time. He is constantly perfecting the image that can only be a reflection of Himself, since there is nothing other than God. But we have to fully consent to be so shaped.
