"About five years ago, I came across a quote posted in the hallway of my college dorm - certainly an unlikely place to find words of wisdom. But this was Franciscan University of Steubenville, so perhaps it's not all that surprising. These words are taken from Saint Irenaeus's Against Heresies:
"Man, life, glory, God - profound concepts, indeed. Because of that, its meaning was not immediately apparent to me. After some reflection, I believed St. Irenaeus was emphasizing the power of a holy, Christian life. He was saying that man gives glory to God by living his life well; that man can reveal God to others by the way he lives.""The glory of God is man fully alive; moreover, man's life is the vision of God.
In a recent commentary, Brother Andrew Lyons, O.P.,
reflected on these words and what they mean for us..
