Creation exists. The Incarnation happened. Sanctification is readily available. That means the world is drenched with mysticism. Except that most people choose not to see it, hear it, taste it, touch it, or smell it. Far too many of us spend life entranced by the transitory now.
Life was meant to be spent reaching out toward those Energies of God that emanate like poetry and fire from the Essence of God. So let us pray for the day when each and every person can see and know the mystical reality that surrounds them.
St. John the Theologian, pray for us.
St. Gregory the Theologian, pray for us.
St. Symeon the New Theologian, pray for us.
