"What is sweeter than the Mother of my God? She has taken my mind captive, and held my tongue in bondage. I think of her by day and night. She, the Mother of the Word, supplies my words. The fruit of barenness makes barren minds fruitful. We keep today the feast of her blessed and divine translation from this world. Let us then climb up the mystical mountain, where beyond the reach of worldly things, passing through the obscurity of storms, we stand in the divine light and offer praise to the power of the Almighty." (John of Damascus, Sermon III)
