The Best Children's Book Ever Written
This is an excerpt from a children's educational book series on world religions called The Church of Orthodoxy, written by Olivier Clement:
The "communion of saints," that is of the living, is the image and prolonging of divine existence itself. Jesus reveals that the divine abyss (about which we can only speak in the "apophatic" non-language, tending to the silence of the adoration) is, in reality, a paternal abyss, an abyss of love and liberty from which, through the Son, the Holy Spirit, the "giver of life," beams forth. God is so truely one that He carries within Him, without seperation, the mystery of the other. God is Trinity- absolute unity and absolute diversity at once.
Uh-huh. I'll show you a mystery...
