"If we who are united to Him by faith in Him, are synonymous with Him whose incorruptible nature is beyond verbal interpretation, it is entirely necessary for us to become what is contemplated in connection with the incorruptible nature and to achieve an identity with the secondary elements [virtues] which follow along with it." (On What it Means to Call Oneself a Christian, Callahan, Fathers of the Church vol. 58, 1967)
