God’s pleasure lies in our being pure in the purity of our first creation. We make him sad when we alter the image in which we were created, for the soul was created in the pure image of God. We have exhanged this purity for its opposite, for when the soul was first created it was able to look upon God in intimacy, but we have now strayed away from him and have worshiped the lusts of the world and the flesh.
St. Isaac the Syrian
