All that we call spirit and art and ecstasy only means that for one awful moment we remember that we forget. ↗

In fact, all the truths of Orthodoxy are nothing other than different aspects of the one Truth - the God-man Christ. ↗
Joy is thankfulness, and when we are joyful, that is the best expression of thanks we can offer the Lord, Who delivers us from sorrow and sin. ↗
