By what boundless mercy, my Savior, have you allowed me to become a member of your body? Me, the unclean, the defiled, the prodigal. How is it that you have clothed me with the brilliant garment, radiant with the splendor of immortality, that turns all my members into light ? Your body, immaculate and divine, is all radiant with the fire of your divinity, with which it is ineffably joined and combined. This is the gift you have given me, my God: That this mortal and shabby frame has become one with your immaculate body. – St. Symeon the New Theologian #orthodox #orthodoxy #orthodoxchurch #christian #wisdomofthefathers #stsymeonthenewtheologian #theosis
