text: Hi, padre - Since Lent is right around the corner, do you accept the idea that we willingly choose not to reflect the image of God within us? Assuming you do, as do I, I'm not sure how your comment deals with the choices we make in life. Are they all acceptable because we reflect the image of God and "supplet ecclesia?" Or are there acts and attitudes that distort the image within us and demand metanoia? (I know...too Augustinian....) - monica.
