“When a man's intellect is constantly with God, his desire grows beyond all measure into an intense longing for God and his incensiveness is completely transformed into divine love. For by continual participation in the divine radiance his intellect becomes totally filled with light; and when it has reintegrated its passible aspect, it redirects this aspect towards God, filling it with an incomprehensible and intense longing for Him and with unceasing love, thus drawing it entirely away from worldly things to the divine.” MenLightChristianDesireGrowsDivineAspectFilledLongingIntellectDrawingIntenseOrthodoxTransformedParticipationWorldlyFillingDivine LoveRadianceWorldly ThingsLonging For God Author:Maximus the Confessor

“I am a product of endless books. My father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them. There were books in the study, books in the drawing room, books in the cloakroom, books (two deep) in the great bookcase on the landing, books in a bedroom, books piled as high as my shoulder in the cistern attic...In the seemingly endless rainy afternoons I took volume after volume from the shelves. I had always the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass.” MenTwoBookFatherWalksRoomsStudyFieldsProductsFindingsDrawingEndlessShouldersCertaintyGrassAfternoonVolumeBedroomShelvesBladesLandingRainyGreat BookAtticsBlades Of GrassBookcases Author:C.
