“When the man of pure heart looks at the World of Nature, that is, at the sky, the earth, and the sea and at all things in them, and observes the systems constituting them, the infinite multitude of stars of heaven, the innumerable multitudes of birds and quadrupeds and every kind of animal of the earth…, Such a man, impelled by his pure heart, discovers God also in the World of Grace of the Church…”
(St. Nectarios of Aegina, collection of writings)
