Oftentimes, we can recognize certain individuals for things they might have said or done. When we hear the quote, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself,” we recognize (hopefully) that it was F.D.R. who said it. Or if you caught the SU basketball game the other day, you probably recognize seniors Andy Rautins or Arinze Onuaku for certain well-known plays that they make, the outside shot and the slam-dunk, respectively.

Do I act as though I’m one of His?”
