“It does not seem to me that the Gospel is speaking of the firmament of heaven as some remote habitation of God…because the divine is equally present in all things, and, in like manner, it pervades all creation and it does not exist separated from being, but the divine nature touches each element of being with equal honor, encompassing all things within itself.” - St Gregory of Nyssa, celebrated today (Jan. 10)
