Here’s a great quote from Basil. The Christian life, for Basil, is a contemplative journey into the life of God poured out all around us through the gift of Christ. And this spiritual journey is an invitation into newness, into new life, the unceasing wonder of God’s continuous revelation:
“the person looking at the divine, invisible beauty will always discover it anew since he will see it as something newer and more wondrous in comparison to what he has already comprehended. He continues to wonder at God’s continuous revelation; he never exhausts his desire to see more because what he awaits is always more magnificent and more divine than anything he has seen”
(Basil, Canticle 11, quoted in Lewis Ayres, Nicaea and Its Legacy, p.283).
