EPIPHANY

God never imparts himself as he is to those

who contemplate him while still in this mortal life,

but he shows forth his brightness scantily

to the blinking eyes of our mind.

Gregory the Great

Reconciling Peace, sent to the people,

Gladdening Flash, who came to the gloomy,

Powerful Leaven, conquering all in silence,

Patient One, who has captured the creation little by little.

Blessed is he who became small without limit

to make us great without limit.

Ephrem of Syria
