INVISIBLE BEAUTY

Basil of Caesarea (330-379) bishop and theologian wrote,

“If sometimes, on a bright night, while gazing with watchful eyes on the inexpressible beauty of the stars, you have thought of the Creator of all things; if you have asked yourself who it is that has dotted heaven with such flowers, and why visible things are even more useful than beautiful … if you have raised yourself by the visible things to the invisible Being, then you are a well-prepared auditor. …

Truly, if such are the good things of time, what will be those of eternity? If such is the beauty of visible things, what shall we think of invisible things? If the grandeur of heaven exceeds the measure of human intelligence, what mind shall be able to trace the nature of the everlasting?”

Paul, an apostle, quotes Isaiah and reminds us:
“No eye has seen, no ear has heard,
    and no mind has imagined
what God has prepared
    for those who love him.”
(1 Corinthians 2:9, Isaiah 64:4)

“But blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear. I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, but they didn’t see it. And they longed to hear what you hear, but they didn’t hear it.” Jesus
