- Quotes
- In his homily on the Nativity, St. John Chrysostom says, “He prepares for me the treasure of Life. He takes my flesh, to sanctify me; He gives me His Spirit that He may save me.”
- s St. Gregory of Naziansus teaches, though we broke our original communion with God in Paradise, this second communion that is realized in the person of Christ can no longer be broken. In Christ, our humanity joined without change, mingling, confusion, or alteration with His divinity, irrevocably uniting the two forever.
- Thus, the passion, the crucifixion, and exaltation, become meaningful for contemplating on who Christ is. (Paraphrased from Fr. John Behr, a distinguished Theologian of the Eastern Orthodox Church).
