“When a sunbeam falls on a transparent substance, the substance itself becomes brilliant, and radiates light from itself. So too Spirit bearing souls, illumined by Him, finally become spiritual themselves, and their grace is sent forth to others. From this comes knowledge of the future, understanding of mysteries, apprehension of hidden things, distribution of wonderful gifts, heavenly citizenship, a place in the choir of angels, endless joy in the presence of God, becoming like God, and, the highest of all desires, becoming God.” SoulLightSpiritualJoySpiritDesireFallUnderstandingGraceWonderfulMysteryBecomingHighestAngelBrilliantEndlessSubstanceHeavenlyCitizenshipDistributionTransparentApprehensionPresence Of GodChoirSunbeamsHidden ThingsBecoming God Author:Saint Basil

In woman there is at once a subtle delicacy of tact, and a plain soundness of judgement, which are rarely combined to an equal degree in man.
