Gênesis 2
Basil of Caesarea · Comentário Patrístico (catena)
Gênesis 2:7
"And he breathed into his nostrils," that is to say, he placed in man some share of his own grace, in order that he might recognize likeness through likeness. Nevertheless, being in such great honor because he was created in the image of the Creator, he is honored above the heavens, above the sun, above the choirs of stars. For which of the heavenly bodies was said to be an image of the most high God? — HOMILY ON PSALM 48
Gênesis 2:8
For this reason we all look to the east in our prayers, but few know that this is because we are seeking the ancient fatherland, which God planted in Eden, toward the east. — ON THE HOLY SPIRIT 27.66
