Arise, 

shine 

for 

your 

light 

has 

come, 

and the glory of 

the Lord has dawned upon you

*Irenaeus

  Born in 

  Smyrna

 Turkey. 

  Bishop 

  and  

  theologian, 

  ca 130-200. 

Only the God who created human beings could also saved us, 

and only 

that which 

was truly  

assumed (humanity in the Incarna-tion) could also 

be redeemed.   (Which sure 

sounds decidedly Irenaean)
