St. Augustine – Pray for us! – 

In the eyes of Jesus life is an endowment which we hold in trust for God.  And the greatest factor about that endowment is its potential. One of the worst sins that any of us can commit is to treat life like a buried treasure, to hang on to it, to keep it all for ourselves. St. Irenaeus, a wonderful philosopher and theologian in the second century said: “The glory of God is the human person fully alive.”
