Ron and I were talking tonight, and he told me that the Early Church Fathers often spoke of Christ as the "Image" of God, and of the faithful as the "Image of the Image."
Then Ron said that St. Gregory of Nyssa only spoke of the corporate group of us as the "Image of the Image." No one of us is the Image, but that only collectively can we be like Jesus. That was a powerful thought to me! We have to work together!
