Quote for Reflection (Sunday, November 5, 2023)
“The saints…participate in the energies of God; that is to say, in his life, power, grace and glory. The energies…are not to be ‘objectified’ or regarded as an intermediary between God and man, a ‘thing’ or gift which God bestows on his creation. He who participates in God’s energies is therefore meeting God himself face to face, through a direct and personal union of love, in so far as a created being is capable of this.”
Father Kalistos Ware in The Orthodox Way
