Let us too, brethren, move our dwelling-place from earth to on high. Let us be changed "from flesh to spirit", and transfer our longing from fleeting concerns to things that endure. Let us despise the pleasures of the flesh, which were invented as a bait to trap the soul, and soon pass away, and let us desire sprirtual gifts which stay incorruptible. Let us raise our disposition and our thoughts from the disorder below and lift them up to the heavenly sanctuary, to that Holy of Holies where the Mother of God now dwells. - St. Gregory Palamas: Homily 53
