St Justin Popovich: By vigilance in prayer, the mind takes wing and flies upwards...
By vigilance in
prayer “the mind takes wing and flies upwards,” “towards the
delights of God.” “It swims in a knowledge that surpasses human thought.”
“The soul that strives to persevere in this vigilance
receives the eyes of the cherubim with which to dwell in constant, heavenly
contemplation.”
“The vision of God
comes from the knowledge of God, and cannot precede this knowledge.”
St Justin Popovich
