Gloria Dei est vivens homo!

“God’s greatest glory

is a human being

fully alive.”

— St.  Irenaeus

[Let’s spend the month of August 2018 looking at some quotes, lines, memes, and other timeless ephemera — how’s that for an oxymoron? — that are too good not to share. Let’s contextualize some, let’s dissect others, and let’s simply enjoy still others. Let’s go!]

“God’s greatest glory

is a human being

fully alive.”

— St.  Irenaeus
