Christ is our Friend, our Brother, He is whatever is beautiful and good. He is everything.
In Christ there is no gloom, melancholy or introversion, whereas man suffers from various temptations and situations that make him suffer.
Christ is joy, life, light, the true light, which makes man glad, makes him fly, makes him see all people, suffer for all people, and want all people to be with him, close to him.
Saint Porphyrios
