St. Gregory the Theologian ~ Light of the Trinity

From the time when for the first time, having detached myself from the earthly things,
I mingled my soul with radiant heavenly thoughts
and the high Intellect brought me, put far from flesh,
took from here, hid in inmost parts of a heavenly palace,
illumined my eyes with the light of our Trinity,
Which is more resplendent than anything I could imagine,
Which from an elevated throne pours out upon all an ineffable radiance… -
From this time I died for the world, and the world for me.[1]
