We look at this Son and see the God who cannot be seen. We look at this Son and see God’s original purpose in everything created. For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible, rank after rank after rank of angels—

everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him. He was there before any of it came into existence and holds it all together right up to this moment. And when it comes to the church, he organizes and holds it together, like a head does a body. —st Paul

—St Isaac the Syrian

How beautiful is the way you are made, but how grievous is your dissolution! Let not sorrow batter you because of this, for you are going to put on [a] body…burning with fire and with spirit, bearing the precise image of its Maker.
—St Abba Isaac the Syrian

Do not be grieved that for many years we will be subject to this corruption of death, beneath the soil, until the end of this kosmos overtakes us.
—St Abba Isaac the Syrian
