“O thou plant in the Garden of the Kingdom!…”

O thou plant in the Garden of the Kingdom!
God created man in the utmost perfection, for He inscribed the edict of the divine likeness on his brow. 675 Every excellent person (or soul), if confirmed by the heavenly bounty, is a plant of the Kingdom and becometh green and refreshed and putteth forth wonderful blossoms and groweth on the river bank of the love of God.
