“O Lord, how lovely it is to be Thy guest. Breeze full of scents; mountains reaching to the skies; waters like boundless mirrors, reflecting the sun’s golden rays and the scudding clouds. All nature murmurs mysteriously, breathing the depth of tenderness. Birds and beasts of the forest bear the imprint of Thy love. Blessed art thou, mother earth, in thy fleeting loveliness, which wakens our yearning for happiness that will last for ever, in the land where, amid beauty that grows not old, the cry rings out: Alleluia!”

~From the Akathist Hymn: “Glory to God For All Things”

“Great and marvelous are Your works, O Lord God, the Almighty; Righteous and true are Your ways, King of the nations!”

~Revelation 15:3

“Beauty grows in you to the extent that love grows, because charity itself is the soul’s beauty.”

~St. Augustine
