our duty in nature

"It is our duty, therefore, to be faithful to God,
pure in heart,
merciful and kind,
just and holy;
for these things imprint in us the outlines of the divine likeness, and perfect us as heirs of eternal life."

- St. Cyril of Alexandria

"With Christ, every brute beast is wise,
and every savage creature gentle."

- Sulpicius Severus

"God gave being to all that is,
at the same time united all things together in His providence.
Being Master, He became a servant,
and so revealed to the world
the depths of His providence."

- St. Thalassios the Libyan

Have a lovely day,
