The Sanctifier and bright Lord who is glorious in operation, the dispositioner, the effector of all trans-substantiations, who sets the traverse wall according to the measure of the angel with the reed, who knows best how to gather his epiklesis from that open plain, who transmutes their cheerless blasphemy into a lover's word, who spoke by Balaam and by Balaam's ass, who spoke also by Sgt. Bullcock.

Nothing more to long for
After the Eucharist there is nothing more to long for, but we have to stay here and learn how we can preserve this treasure to the end.
St Nicholas Cabasilas, The Life in Christ iv.1, 4, 15
