O blest Creator of the light,
Who mak’st the day with radiance bright,
And o’er the forming world didst call
The light from chaos first of all.

Whose wisdom joined in meet array
The morn and eve, and named them day:
Night comes with all its darkling fears;
Regard Thy people’s prayers and tears.

Lest, sunk in sin, and whelmed with strife,
They lose the gift of endless life;
While thinking but the thoughts of time,
They weave new chains of woe and crime.

But grant them grace that they may strain
The heavenly gate and prize to gain:
Each harmful lure aside to cast,
And purge away each error past.

O Father, that we ask be done,
Through Jesus Christ, Thine only Son;
Who, with the Holy Ghost and Thee,
Doth live and reign eternally.

...the Gloria, an ancient hymn drawn from the song the angels sang when Jesus was born in Bethlehem...

represents an opening of the earth toward the sky, in answer to the sky’s folding unto the earth

In Christology, the Logos (Greek: Λόγος) is a name or title of Jesus Christ

As the Logos, Jesus Christ is God in self-revelation (Light) and redemption (Life)

"...and it was there we found; among the ruins. An infinite desire taken aback by an infinite unknown. Light; the path that should be followed. It resonates equally in all directions, touching nearly all. We know this because we are a part of it. The first time one encounters it seems jarring among this species." - [Name of book, name of author, page number]

Most High, all-powerful, all-good Lord, All praise is Yours, all glory, all honour and all blessings.

To you alone, Most High, do they belong, and no mortal lips are worthy to pronounce Your Name.

Praised be You my Lord with all Your creatures,
especially Sir Brother Sun,
Who is the day through whom You give us light.
And he is beautiful and radiant with great splendour,
Of You Most High, he bears the likeness.

The Christian movement was referred to as 'The Way' (της οδου) based upon the well known statement by Jesus: "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."

They were called The Way, and the new way because they lived differently. They lived differently because of their encounter with the Lord Jesus. They thought differently. They loved differently. They approach every aspect of their life differently.

>She asked "Do you follow 'The Way'? The Way of Life and Light..."
