She asked him, "What should I call you?
Man? But your conception is divine. God? But you are clothed with our flesh and blood. What shall I do for you? Shall I nurse you with my milk or glorify you? Shall I care for you like a mother or worship you like a maidservant? Shall I kiss you like my son or pray to you like my God? Should I give you milk or incense? What an ineffable mystery! Heaven uses you as a throne and you lie in my arms! You give yourself wholly to the inhabitants of the earth, Yet you do not deprive Heaven of your presence." by Saint Basil | ||
