“In the radiance of His light the world is not commonplace.
The very floor we stand on is a miracle of atoms whizzing about in space.
The darkness of sin is clarified, and its burden shouldered.
Death is robbed of its finality, trampled down by Christ's death.
In a world where everything that seems to be present is immediately past,
everything in Christ is able to participate in the eternal present of God.”
― Alexander Schmemann, theologian
who died on this day in 1983,
35 years ago
