THEOLOGIAN 25 JANUARY
Nor are they surprised, as though it were a strange and new thing, that they
are about to Reign with Christ, because of the abundance of Grace and
their childlike abandonment to the Spirit.
That is because they enjoyed that Relish of Sweetness and that effective
Working of Power while still in the flesh.
St Peter of Damaskos:
... the Holy Angels in their infinite Happiness and Wonder can
never satisfy their longing to Glorify God; and because they
have been found worthy of celebrating so Great a Master,
...they sing His Praises ceaselessly, marvelling at what He has
brought to pass... as St John Chrysostom says, and
...advancing to still greater Knowledge, as St Gregory the
Theologian states.
It is the same with all the Saints - in this world and in the next.
Just as the Angels transmit Illumination to each other, so
intellectual beings are instructed by each other.
Some derive their Knowledge from the Divine Scriptures and teach
those who are more in need, while others are taught Spiritually
by the Holy Spirit and make known to their Brethren in writing
the Mysteries that have been revealed to them...

St John of Kronstadt
You cannot have failed to notice that all our Strength lies in the heart.
When our heart is light, our entire being feels at ease and happy but
when our heart is heavy, we feel wretched.
Such relief and lightness can only be found in Faith, and especially in
Church, where Faith predominates, for that is where God touches our
heart through His Cleansing Grace, and grants us His Easy Yoke and
eases the weight of our daily burdens.
This is a Great Mystery, which is worth everyone's knowing.
When our heart is light, we are ready, willing and able to run and leap for
Joy.
This is why King David "...danced when he played before the Ark."

APOLYTIKION ST GREGORY
Glory to
We shall be Blessed with clear vision if we keep our eyes fixed on Christ, for
He, as St Paul teaches, is our Head, and there is in Him no shadow of
evil.
St Paul himself and all who have reached the same Heights of Sanctity had
their eyes fixed on Christ, and so have all who live and move and have
their being in Him.
As no Darkness can be seen by anyone surrounded by Light, so no
trivialities can capture the attention of anyone who has his eyes on
Christ.
Those who keep their focus upon the Head and Origin of the whole
Universe has them on Virtue in all its Perfection - they are focused on
Truth, on Justice, on Immortality and on everything else that is Good, for
Christ is Goodness itself.
Thee!
St Gregory of Nyssa

St Makarios
(Christians) having been Anointed with the Ointment from the Tree of Life,
Jesus Christ, the Heavenly Plant, are considered worthy to reach the
Degree of Perfection of the Kingdom, and of the Adoption.
Indeed, they are Participators of the Mysteries of the Heavenly King and
enjoy the Confidence of the Almighty.
They enter into His Palace, where the Angels and Spirits of the Saints are,
even while they are still in this world.
Even though they have not yet entered into the full Inheritance prepared for
them in that Age, nevertheless, they are most certain because of the
Pledge, which they have already received (the Anointing), as if already
Crowned and reigning.

Thou had cut through the dark
cloud of the letter, in spirit Thou
penetrated to the Highest Light.
There was the Heavenly Radiance;
hence Thou received it, and with
Theology Thou enriched us all; O
Gregory, the Luminary of the Church
of Christ. And by Thy Discourses
Blinding Light, Thou dissipated the
darkened
clouds
of
impious
heresies. Henceforth, Thou dwell in
Angels company, where the sound is
of those keeping Festival; and Thou
pray without ceasing to the Lord that
He will Save our souls.
