Jesus Christ, the Wisdom of God (source)
Nothing makes one so dizzy as human reasoning, which sees
everything from an earthly point of view, and does not allow illumination to
come from above. Earthly reasoning is covered with mud. Therefore, we have need
of streams from above, so that, when the mud has fallen away, whatever part of
the reason is pure may be carried on high and may be thoroughly imbued with the
lessons taught there. This takes place when we manifest both a well-disposed
soul and an upright life.
-St. John Chrysostom

Through the prayers of our Holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us and save us! Amen!
