St Makarios
(Christians)
St Peter of Damaskos:
... the Holy Angels in their infinite Happiness and Wonder
can never satisfy their longing to Glorify God;
and because they have been found worthy
of celebrating so Great a Master,
...they
they sing His Praises ceaselessly,
marvelling at what He has brought to pass...
pass
as St John Chrysostom says,
and ...advancing
advancing to still greater Knowledge,
Knowledge
as St Gregory the Theologian states.
It is the same with all the Saints
in this world and in the next.
Just as the Angels transmit Illumination to each other,
so intellectual beings are instructed by each other.
Some derive their Knowledge from the Divine Scriptures
and teach those who are more in need,
while others are taught Spiritually by the Holy Spirit
and make known to their Brethren in writing
the Mysteries that have been Revealed to them...

We shall be Blessed with clear vision if we keep our eyes fixed on Christ, for
He, as St Paul teaches, is our Head, and there is no shadow of evil in Him.
St Paul himself - and all who have reached the same Heights of Sanctity had their eyes fixed on Christ, and so have all who live and move - have
their being in Him.
As no Darkness can be seen by anyone surrounded by Light, so no
trivialities can capture the attention of those who have their eyes on Christ.
Those who keep their focus upon the Head and Origin of the whole
Universe has them on Virtue in all its Perfection - they are focused on
Truth, on Justice, on Immortality and on everything else that is Good, for
Christ is Goodness itself.

Him according to the greatness of
His Majesty.
Thou had cut through the dark
cloud of the letter, in spirit Thou
penetrated to the Highest Light.
There was the Heavenly Radiance;
hence Thou received it, and with
Theology Thou enriched us all; O
Gregory, the Luminary of the Church
of Christ. And by Thy Discourses
Blinding Light, Thou dissipated the
darkened
clouds
of
impious
heresies. Henceforth, Thou dwell in
Angels company, where the sound is
of those keeping Festival; and Thou
pray without ceasing to the Lord that
He will Save our souls.
