April 23 / Psalms 35-36, 38, 40-41

Psalms 35-36, 38, 40-41

For with You is the fountain of life;
in Your light do we see light.

Psalm 36:9

What other light of God can we speak of in which a person sees light except God’s spiritual power, which when it lightens a person causes him either to see clearly the truth of all things or to know God Who is called the Truth? Such then is the meaning of the saying “in Your light we shall see light;” that is, in Your word and Your wisdom which is Your Son, in Him shall we see You, the Father.

Origen

Since the fount is life, and life is Christ, the fount is Christ … By meditating on what is made, we will see Christ, and in understanding Christ, we will see God.

Evagrius of Pontus
