What, I ask, is more wonderful than the beauty of God? What thought is more pleasing and wonderful than God’s majesty? What desire is as urgent and overpowering as the desire implanted by God in a soul that is completely purified of sin and cries out in its love: I am wounded by love? The radiance of divine beauty is altogether beyond the power of words to describe. – St Basil the Great . . #love #godsbeauty #godislove #godlovesyou #dailyreadings #copticorthodox #orthodoxy
