“Christ himself is joy.
He is a joy that transforms you into a different person.
It is a spiritual madness, but in Christ.
This spiritual wine inebriates you like pure unadulterated wine.
As David says, You have anointed my head with oil and your cup intoxicates me most mightily.
Spiritual wine is unmixed, unadulterated, exceedingly strong,
and when you drink it, it makes you drunk.
This divine intoxication is a gift of God that is given to the pure in heart.
Elder Porphyrios
