![“Man was created in the image and likeness of God.[157] And God is Love.[158] Therefore the heart of man is made for love and the more he loves the more he becomes identified with God; only when he loves can he become happy. And God wishes us to be happy, here on earth too. Man cannot live without…” quote by Francis Fernandez](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/6a0/francis-fernandez-26861_god_man-was-created-in-the-image-and-likenes_410610.jpg)
