Glory to Thee

      No Comments on Glory to Thee

Wisdom loves her timeless doxology descending from on high to glorify God, restoring glory to the Father with the Son, through the unceasing prayer of the Holy Spirit. Doxology is divine essence in act, actively expressing quintessential divinity, revealing Holy Trinity: ‘Glory be to Thee, O our God, Glory be to thee.’  This very ancient doxology predates the dogmatic theology of… Read more »

Reciprocal Remembrance

      No Comments on Reciprocal Remembrance

Wisdom reveals Holy Trinity as God’s witness to God in God, divine reciprocation, answering the Spirit’s witness to the Son, who reveals the glory of the Father. Reciprocation occurs whenever the invocation of God hallows the saving Name, bestowing the reign of God on those who invoke grace in the Name of Jesus, fulfilling the Lord’s Prayer.  The remembrance of God in… Read more »

Gratitude

Gratitude gives thanks for the miracle of grace, no longer taking everything for granted but fully awakening to the mystery of radical gift.  Gratitude steps back from being to the wonder of being which opens to the timeless well-being of glory.  To give thanks is intrinsic to the Eucharist, which communicates thanksgiving through the sacrament of Holy Communion, conveying the… Read more »

Uncreated Presence

      No Comments on Uncreated Presence

The uncreated presence of glory is wisdom’s holy secret, called a precious pearl by Christ, inspiring many centuries of spiritual pearl questing.  The myth of the pearl symbolises the awakened heart, which completes the incompleteness of temporal experience.  The scope of wisdom is the scope of glory, uncreated presence whose completeness loves wisdom as wisdom loves glory.  Uncreated awareness is ever-present in… Read more »

Unknowing

      No Comments on Unknowing

Unknowing knows as it is known, which is wisdom’s way of knowing, not to be confused with nihilistic agnosticism or relativist ignorance, which does not know as it is known.  Wisdom’s way of knowing transcends dualistic knowledge, so is described as unknowing, but knows that it humbly knows as wisdom knows, surrendering the controlling desire to know.  Love knows in this way, transcending faith… Read more »

Listening

Listening to the Holy Spirit, wisdom discerns the glory of the Name, hallowing the Kingdom come.  The post-war generation was very influenced by secularism, but thanks to mothers who prayed in the Spirit for their sons, there were enough Christians left to listen to the Holy Spirit’s whisper in their heart of hearts.  Prophecy was not quenched nor prayer extinguished,… Read more »

The remembrance of God is ineffable, reflecting the openness of wisdom and the oneness of timeless glory.  The way of truth is the way of abiding that establishes deification as a way of life.  This way of life inherits the language of prophecy which inspires pure prayer, listening to the Spirit’s unceasing prayer glorifying God in his Name.  The reason… Read more »

I AM: He Who Is

      No Comments on I AM: He Who Is

Holy Orthodoxy is not an ethnic commitment but a martyr’s costly witness, willingly laying down one’s life for the Holy Name of God.  The Name asks, who is it who says I AM?  God answers, it is I: ‘I AM HE,’ revealing God, through the Holy Name of God.  I am ‘HE WHO IS,’ unveiling God in your midst.  I… Read more »

Same Difference

      No Comments on Same Difference

The difference between division and difference mirrors the difference between confusion and communion, revealing the paradoxical completeness of co-inherent communion.  Completeness is not totalitarian sameness nor divisive, premature closure, suppressing difference out of fear of division.  The Spirit prays unceasingly for the reign of the Name to be revealed, lovingly communicating decisive wisdom, wisely curing dithering indecision.  The rational mind cannot conceive the ineffable glory… Read more »
