To know myself as woman in the image of God to know God as Mother and to know my own mother as a window into God: these three are inseparable. If one is implausible to the heart the other two are as well.

About This Quote

This quote is a beautiful and profound statement of the relationship between the human and divine. It is also one which we can all learn from. For we, too, often compartmentalize ourselves, separating the various parts of our lives. We get so caught up in doing great things for ourselves and our loved ones that we don’t give ourselves the gift of self-knowledge. This quote reminds us that we must free ourselves from these barriers so that we can better know ourselves, and thus more fully know God.
