"God who is beyond fullness did not bring creatures into being out of any need of his, but that he might enjoy their proportionate participation in him and that he might delight in his works seeing them delighted and ever insatiably satisfied with the one who is inexhaustable."
Nothing Whatever Is More Profitable
"Nothing whatever is more profitable for the soul which has chosen to study God's law day and night than searching the divine Scriptures. The meaning of the Holy Spirit's grace is hidden within them. It fills a man's spiritual perception with every pleasure, lifts it entirely from earthly things and the lowliness of what is visible, and makes it both angelic in form and a sharer in the angel's very life."
