Every human being is an icon of what is holy and beautiful.
Every human being carries an icon within them.
Every human being is made in the image of our ancient first parents, who came from the earth, and who were fashioned by God.
By taking human form and sending prophets and giving us saints and martyrs and teachers God gives us the means to have a bit of heaven here below and to dust off and cleanse the icons within us.
One of our primary tasks and difficulties is to see ourselves as icons and to find the icons within us and in others. Another difficult task is to feed, clothe, protect, and stand in solidarity with others that their icons may shine all the better in justice and freedom.
