Слово 82. Содержащее в себе предметы полезные, исполненные духовной мудрости

Faith is the door of the sacraments. Just as physical eyes see sensual objects, so faith looks at the hidden with spiritual eyes. We have two spiritual eyes, as the fathers say, just like two bodily eyes; but the use of each of the eyes of the soul for contemplation is not the same: with one eye we see the secrets of God’s glory hidden in natures, that is, the power and wisdom of God and God’s eternal providence for us, comprehended from the greatness of His control over us; and similarly, with the same eye we contemplate the heavenly ranks that serve us. With another eye we contemplate the glory of the holy nature of God, when God deigns to lead us into spiritual mysteries and opens a sea of ​​faith in our minds. You might be interested in:
