 St Nektarios of Pentapolis & Aegina
How mistaken are those people
St Silouan of Mount Athos who seek happiness outside of themselves -
in foreign lands and journeys,
in riches and glory,
No matter how much we may study, in great possessions and pleasures,
it is not possible to come to know God in diversions and vain things -
unless we Live all of which have a bitter end!
according to His Commandments,
for God is not known by Science, Similarly, it is as impossible
but only by God the Holy Spirit. to achieve happiness outside of ourselves
as it would be to build a house in a place
Many Philosophers and learned men that is consistently shaken by earthquakes.
have come to the belief that God exists,
but they do not know God. Happiness is found within ourselves,
It is possible to believe that God exists and Blessed are those who have understood this.
But it is an entirely different matter Happiness is a Pure Heart,
to know Him. for such a heart becomes the Throne of God.
Thus says Christ of those who have Pure Hearts:
When we come to know God by the Holy Spirit, "I will visit them, and will walk in them, and I will be a
our soul will burn with Love for God God to them, and they will be My People." (II COR. 6:16)
day and night, What could they possibly be lacking?
and our soul will not be bound Nothing!
to any earthly thing. Nothing at all!
For they have the Greatest Good in their heart!
They have God Himself!

To execute upon them the Judgement

Thy Cross, O Lord, is Life and
Resurrection for Thy People, and
trusting in it we sing Thy praise, our
Risen God. Have mercy on us!
Praise God in His Saints; praise Him
in the firmament of His Power.
Thy Burial, O Master, has opened
Paradise to the human race, and
delivered from corruption we who
sing Thy praise: Our risen God: Have
mercy on us!
Praise Him for His Mighty Acts; praise
Him according to the greatness of
His Majesty.

hymn Christ Risen from the dead,
and let us cry out to Him: Thou art
our Life and Resurrection: Have
mercy on us!
Praise Him with the sound of the
trumpet; praise Him with lute and

Tomb, O Christ, as it is written and
Thou raised our Forefather with
Thee: therefore, the human race
both Glorified Thee and hymns Thy
Resurrection!

So they both ran together, and the other
Disciple outran Peter and got to the
Tomb first, and, stooping down, he
looked in and saw the Linen Cloths
lying there, but he did not enter.
Then Simon Peter arrived, following
him, and he went into the Tomb; and
he saw the linen Cloths lying there,
and the Handkerchief that had been
around His Head, not lying with the
linen Cloths, but folded together in
a place by itself.
Then the other Disciple, who got to the
Tomb first, also went in; and he saw
and believed. For as yet they did not
know the Scripture - that He must
Rise again from the dead.
i Then the Disciples went away again to
their own homes.

had Resurrected with His Vivifying
Hand, from the dismal caverns, all
the dead from Eternity, He freely
bestowed Resurrection on the

For He is the Saviour of all,
Resurrection and Life, and the God

Thy Cross and Tomb, O Life-giver, we
Believers Worship and sing Praise,
for Hades, O Thou Who lives forever,
as Almighty God, Thou has belayed.
The Gates of Hades Thou tore to
shreds, and as God, the might of
Death have razed. So, avidly we
earth-born Praise in Doxology the
One now Raised, Who destroyed the
deadly power of our foe. Thou has
Resurrected everyone – all those who
believe in Thee; Thou has Rescued
the world from the serpent’s fangs,
and have snatched us from allure to
the hostile one – as Thou alone is
able to do. Hence, we piously sing
the Praises of Thy Rising by which
Thou Saved us, as the God of all

EX APOSTE IL ARION
When Mary said, ‘They have carried
away my Lord,’ Simon Peter and the
other Disciple, the initiate of Christ
whom Jesus Loved, hastened to the
Tomb. And they both went and
found the Wrappings inside the
Tomb, and the Face Cloth that was
around His Head lying to one side.
Wherefore they remained until they
truly beheld Christ.
O Most Merciful Christ, Thou
performed for my sake Splendid
Wonders; for Thou was born of a
Virgin Maiden in an inexplicable
Manner, and consented to crucifixion
and suffered Death, rising in Glory,
and released our nature from Death.
Wherefore, Glory to Thy Glory, O
Christ, Glory to Thy Might!
