“those who dislike and reject their fellow-man are impoverished in their being.
They do not know the true God, who is all-embracing love.”
St. Peter in his second epistle tells us what God has given us:
“His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness …
and become partakers of the divine nature” (2 Peter 1:3-4).
We know this is not participation or becoming God in His Being or Essence
but sharing in the warmth and light of His “Divine Energy”
St. Silouan
