Nyssa: “Do you see the circle of glory among those who are alike? The Son is glorified by the Spirit; the Father is glorified by the Son; again the Son has his glory from the Father and the only-begotten thus becomes the glory of the Spirit. For with what shall the Father be glorified but with the true glory of the Son, and with what shall the Son be glorified but with the majesty of the Spirit.”
Anatolios glosses this with: “The human glorification of God is not merely an acknowledgement of the intrinsic worth of the divine being but rather a participation in the self-glorifying being of the Trinity. Christian worship is thus a matter of being included within ‘the circle’ of the mutual glorification of Father, Son, and Spirit.”
