When you find Christ [in the heart], you are satisfied, you desire nothing else, you find peace.
You become a different person.
You live everywhere, wherever Christ is.
You live in the stars, in infinity, in heaven with the angels, with the saints, on earth with people, with plants, with animals, with everyone and everything.
When there is love for Christ, loneliness disappears.
You are peaceable, joyous, full.
Neither melancholy, not illness, nor pressure, nor anxiety,
nor depression nor hell.
When Christ enters your heart, your life changes. Christ is everything. Whoever experiences Christ within himself, experiences ineffable things––holy and sacred things. He lives in exultation…
Elder Porphyrios
