"The power to bear Mysteries, which the humble man has received, which
makes him perfect in every virtue without toil, this is the very power
which the blessed apostles received in the form of fire. For its sake the
Saviour commanded them not to leave Jerusalem until they should receive
power from on high, that is to say, the Paraclete, which, being
interpreted, is the Spirit of consolation. And this is the Spirit of divine
visions. Concerning this it is said in divine Scripture: ???Mysteries are
revealed to the humble??? [Ecclus 3:19]. The humble are accounted worthy of
receiving in themselves this Spirit of revelations Who teaches mysteries."
St. Isaac the Syrian, Ascetical Homily 77.
"All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things
are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any."
1Corinthians 6:12
Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
