Holy things to the Holy

When the intellect is pure, sometimes God Himself approaches and teaches it; and sometimes the angelic powers, or the nature of the created things that it contemplates, suggests holy things to it. St. Maximos the Confessor -Third Century on Love no, 94


Someone asked a church elder "Shaykh", "How is it that some say, 'We see visions of angels'?" And he replied, "Blessed is he who always sees his sins." The Desert Fathers
