Word of Farewell
He [John the Theologian] says that, not only through the Logos all things were made, but also that in each and every being that was made, there was life, namely the only-begotten Logos of God, the beginning and constitution of all things - visible and invisible, heavenly and earthly and of those below the earth.
He himself being the real life, He grants being and living and moving in many ways to creatures, not by being himself divided and changed when He goes into each creature that belongs to a different nature: the creation is made by the unspeakable power and wisdom of the Creator in a variety proper to each creature, while the life of all is one and single into each being as is proper to each being and according to the ability of each being to receive Him.
Merry Christmas
