   "The power to bear Mysteries, which the humble man has received, which   
   makes him perfect in every virtue without toil, this is the very power   
   which the blessed apostles received in the form of fire. For its sake the   
   Saviour commanded them not to leave Jerusalem until they should receive   
   power from on high, that is to say, the Paraclete, which, being   
   interpreted, is the Spirit of consolation. And this is the Spirit of divine   
   visions. Concerning this it is said in divine Scripture: 'Mysteries are   
   revealed to the humble' [Ecclus 3:19]. The humble are accounted worthy of   
   receiving in themselves this Spirit of revelations Who teaches mysteries.:   
      
   St. Isaac the Syrian, Ascetical Homily 77   
      
   "Bless the Lord, you His angels, Who excel in strength, who do His word,   
   Heeding the voice of His word. Bless the Lord, all you His hosts, You   
   ministers of His, who do His pleasure."  Psalm 103:20-21   
      
   Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
