Woman does not possess the image of God in herself but only when taken together with the male who is her head, so that the whole substance is one image. But when she is assigned the role as helpmate, a function that pertains to her alone, then she is not the image of God. But as far as the man is concerned, he is by himself alone the image of God just as fully and completely as when he and the woman are joined together into one.
Saint AugustineThou must be emptied of that wherewith thou art full, that thou mayest be filled with that whereof thou art empty.
Saint AugustineThe one who is good, is free even being a slave; the one who is bad remains a slave even being a king.
