This is what our religion is.
This is the direction we must take.
Christ is Paradise, my children.
What is Paradise?
It is Christ.
Paradise begins here and now.
It is exactly the same: those who experience Christ here on earth, experience Paradise.
The essence of the matter is for us to be with Christ;
for our soul to wake up and love Christ and become holy. To abandon herself to divine eros.”
Elder Porphyrios
