Teresa of AvilaTeresa of Avila

Christ has no body now but yours, No hands, no feet on earth but yours. Yours are the eyes through which he looks With compassion on this world. Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good; Yours are the hands with which he blesses all the world. Yours are the hands; yours are the feet; Yours are the eyes; you are his body. Christ has no body now on earth but yours.

Johannes KeplerJohannes Kepler

The laws of nature are within the grasp of the human mind; God wanted us to recognize them by creating us after his own image so that we could share in his own thoughts.

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
