Become What You Are

Humanity is always grand, as man is in the image of God: with an
imaginative and inductive intellect capable of contemplating the
existence of love and loving its source. The human race is fallen,
but it can be saved from an eternal loss of its original grandeur.
In defiance of every heresy against that grandeur, whether Gnosticism
or Calvinism or atheism, the Church says, 'Become what you are.'

-- Fr. George W. Rutler
