slide 12 of 16 You alone are unutterable, from the time You created all things that can be spoken of. You alone are unknowable, from the time You created all things that can be known. All things cry out about You; those which speak and those which cannot speak. All things honor You; those which think, and those which cannot think. For there is one longing, one groaning, that all things have for You.… All things pray to You that comprehend your plan and offer You a silent hymn. In You, the One, all things abide, and all things endlessly run to You Who art the end of all. Gregory Nazianzus (329-389)
