However Skewed Our Vision, Something in Us Still Recognizes God

“Although human life as we know it without God may appear hopelessly broken, God’s image remains within us—partially erased or covered over but still there. This means that, however skewed our vision of God, others, and ourselves becomes, something in us still recognizes God. The image of God that is in us is the part of ourselves that never stops desiring to move toward love.”

— Roberta Bondi, 1991
Professor of theology
