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.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
