Basil the Great didn't beat around the bush: "The bread in your cupboard belongs to the one who is hungry. Basil the Great shows that the Trinity is revealed precisely here, in the human face of Christ: "O Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the great God and Savior, our hope, who is the image of your goodness, the seal of your very likeness, showing forth in himself you, O Father--the living Word, the true God, the eternal wisdom, the life, the sanctification, the power, the true light, through whom the Holy Spirit was revealed .
