“Whom else indeed would it befit to deliver humankind, but that fiery Son of God, who sprinkled heavenly grace upon his people with the dew of divinity like a drop of honey”

“Not even in heaven does any created power know God in his essence”
Let us now mount up to the heavens and see if there are those on high who know what God is in his essence. But even if there are in heaven beings possessed of this knowledge, we must realize that … Continue reading

“The glories of Pascha belong to the laudations of His Nativity”
We are assuredly not unaware, brethren, of the mystery contained in these words: that all of creation is a single temple of the Master of creation. But since, when sin intervened, the mouths of those overcome by evil were stopped, … Continue reading
