The joy of the heart which has God within it is so great that it attaches itself to Him and never wants to separate from Him. The Lord doesn’t approach a heart puffed up with egotism. Such a heart is deeply sad, shrivels and slowly dissolves. It wallows in ignorance, sorrow and darkness. No matter how sinful we are, as soon as we turn to the Lord in repentance and desire, the door of the heart opens to Him. Our inner uncleanness drains out and makes way for purity, virtue, the Savior Himself, the great Visitor ...

Knowledge of this truth is an experience of life: it is the fruit of the union of two subjects into one and the same Being, God and the human person. Neither of them becomes an ‘object’ and both, God and the person, live this event as a unified life . This realization is of particular importance in terms of approaching and evaluating any specific truth we might be seeking in our life. As a means of addressing secular truth, scientific research has a positive value. The same is true for the accomplishments ...

The lips of the suffering hermit moved so that she who had spent her whole ...
