“...if we know God our knowledge of... everything will be brought to perfection, and, in so far as is possible, the infinite, divine and ineffable dwelling place (cf. Jn. 14:2) will be ours to enjoy. For this is what our sainted teacher said in his famous philosophical aphorism: 'Then we shall know as we are known' (I Cor. 13:12), when we mingle our god-formed mind and divine reason to what is properly its own and the image returns to the archetype for which it now longs.” IfsKnowsMindSaidReasonChristianEnjoyKnownTeacherDivineReturnPerfectionPhilosophicalInfiniteOrthodoxAphorismKnowing GodDwellingOrthodox ChristianArchetypeCfsIneffableDwelling Place Author:Pope Dionysius
“The Word of God makes use of poetic imagery when discussing... formless intelligences but... it does not do so for the sake of art, but as a concession to the nature of our own mind. It uses scriptural passages in an uplifting fashion as a way, provided for us from the first, to uplift our mind in a manner suitable to our nature.” WayMindFirstsDoeArtUseChristianFashionSakeUpliftingOrthodoxPoeticWord Of GodPassagesImagerySuitableDiscussingConcessions Author:Pope Dionysius
“Trinity!! Higher than any being, any divinity, any goodness! Guide of Christians in the wisdom of heaven! Lead us up beyond unknowing and light, up to the farthest, highest peak of mystic scripture, where the mysteries of God's Word lie simple, absolute and unchangeable in the brilliant darkness of a hidden silence. Amid the deepest shadow they pour overwhelming light on what is most manifest. Amid the wholly unsensed and unseen they completely fill our sightless minds with treasures beyond all beauty.” MindLightChristianLyingHeavenSimpleSilenceDarknessMysteryHigherGoodnessHighestShadowAbsolutesGuidesBrilliantScriptureTreasureDivinityOrthodoxManifestOverwhelmingUnseenOrthodox ChristianMysticTrinityLight UpUnchangeableUnknowingMystery Of God Author:Pope Dionysius
