The Life of Grace and the Hope of Glory

By grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing: it is the gift of God.

Ephesians 2: 8

I am filled with his love and his beauty, and I am sated with divine delight and sweetness. I share in the light, I participate also in the glory, and my face shines like my Beloved’s, and all my members become bearers of light. Then I finally become more beautiful than those who are beautiful, wealthier than those who are wealthy, and more than all the mighty I am mighty and greater than kings, and much more precious than all that is visible, not only more than the world or the men of the world, but also more than heaven and all the angels of heaven, for I possess the creator of the whole universe to whom is due glory and honour, now and forever. Amen.

Simeon the New Theologian, Hymn of Divine Love, 16
