“A truncated spirituality, intent mainly upon finding an inner connection to the self, does not truly represent the mind of Christ.”
Edith M. Humphrey, Ecstasy and Intimacy: When the Holy Spirit Meets the Human Spirit

“Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us." We might paraphrase, saying, "Herein is personhood, not to will autonomously, but to be and to act for the sake of others.”
Edith M. Humphrey, Ecstasy and Intimacy: When the Holy Spirit Meets the Human Spirit

“To our three levels of complicating alienation we must add the fundamental distinction or break between God and humankind, between Creator and creature. That "division" is no tragedy, but part and parcel of our identity and God's grandeur. It must be accounted for in the mystery of God, who reveals himself to us as we can bear it: revelation invariably involves concealment, since God is God and we are not. The communion that he forges with us remains a tantalizing "mystery" that leads us to know more and more of him, but never in completion - and at this, we wonder! As Kallistos Ware puts it, where knowledge of God is concerned, "The eyes are closed - but they are also opened" (The Orthodox Way, p. 15).”
