Almighty God, on this day, through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, you revealed the way of eternal life to every race and nation: Pour out this gift anew, that by the preaching of the Gospel your salvation may reach to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. -Day of Pentecost, Book of Common Prayer

“Jesus knew and saw the supernatural mystery that we only know by faith and yet through a mirror dimly.” @MattMBarrett
Matthew Barrett's Credo Conference message explains why Jesus experienced the beatific vision. https://t.co/c0G9iKKUvb

Gavin Ortlund gave me an excuse to talk about Aquinas. So here we go: the beatific vision is supernaturally revealed and so it is beyond the natural power of the knower, says Aquinas.” @MattMBarrett

If to be God is the same as to be happy, then it is only in seeing God that we will participate in the fullness of happy, fully united to God. @MattMBarrett

[Credo @CredoMagazine]

One reason we confess the Nicene Creed each Sunday is because God raised up a theologian like Gregory of Nazianzus. Today is his Feast Day! Pray with us:

Almighty God, who has revealed to your Church your eternal Being of glorious majesty and perfect love as one God in Trinity of Persons: Give us grace that, like your bishop Gregory of Nazianzus, we may continue steadfast in the confession of this faith, and constant in our worship of you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; who live and reign for ever and ever. Amen.
