““The image of God is to be seen in us—as it was in Jesus—equally in our active lives, in our work and our creativity, and in our passive lives, by the way in which we accept and respond to the things that are done to us. Or indeed, as we grow old, or as we endure illness, by our response to the things which are done for us. This means that those forced to be inactive by lack of work or handicap or illness or old age need not feel they are of any less value as human beings. Rather, this time can be seen as a true and creative sharing in the nature of a God who himself became powerless and vulnerable.””
