"Wisdom operates in a fourfold manner in the intellect. It activates not
all the four virtues simultaneously, but each one individually, as is
appropriate and as it determines. It activates sound understanding in the
form of light, courage as clear-sighted power and ever-moving inspiration,
self-restraint as a power of sanctification and purification, and justice
as the dew of purity, joy-inducing and cooling the arid heat of the
passions."
St. Gregory of Sinai.
"For You will not leave my soul in Sheol, Nor will You allow Your Holy One
to see corruption. You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is
fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore."
Psalm 16:10-11
Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
