"I LOVE YOU GOD OK G." 😘😘😘 #SONGofSONGS
"Unless I learn by You, I cannot learn by any man. For whom other than God behoves teaching about God? Therefore, revelation comes from on high, following willingness accompanied by merit."
—Origenis speaking to Logos

—St Abba Isaac the Syrian Image
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.
