"We all have a journey to make. It is the ultimate journey, and we are told there are two destinations. One is the bliss whereof we may be granted intimations in this life — moments of an innocence and a nearness to God that are so profound we forget ourselves, and of which the only fit response is wonder and gratitude... The other destination comes from having our own way as we go with false cheer further down into ignorance and sin. In our time, that willfulness often takes the form of saying to God, 'I will do as I wish, and You will save me because You are merciful.' And that is a contradiction in terms."

This is what it was really like when Columbus discovered the New World:
"I claim this land in the name of their majesties Isabella and Ferdinand of Spain, and in honor of our Holy Savior, I name it San Salvador. Let us give thanks."

"Note, Euthymios, that St. Maximus defended the Romans... St. Maximus the Confessor, one of the greatest Greek Doctors, clearly believed that the Holy Spirit proceeded ineffably from the Father dia mesou tou Logou (i.e., “by means of the [Incarnate] Word”) or through the Son."
