“The human being is a mystical church. By the nave of his body he enlightens his active powers… by the sanctuary of his soul he offers to God the spiritual essences of things… by the altar of his mind he invokes the silence in the heart of the divine word. There, as far as is allowed to humanity, he is united to the godhead… and receives the imprint of its dazzling splendor.”
~St. Maximus the Confessor
