We Ought to Rejoice in the Resurrection Joy of the Theotokos - St. Nikodemos the Hagiorite

St. Nikodemos writes, “Reflect, my beloved, that we have a duty to rejoice with the Virgin Panagia, who upon seeing her Son and God risen, was filled immediately with such great joy which was as great as her grief experienced during His Passion.” Every true Christian heart is eager to rejoice in the Theotokos, and to share in the pure joy she has in her Son. Let us rejoice with her, now that we have noetically beheld the Resurrection of Christ, and remember that “The greatest joy which you can give to the Theotokos, however, is the decision to conquer your passions and at every moment to live with chastity for the love of the Virgin.”   CHRIST IS RISEN!   Text by St. Nikodemos the Hagiorite (also known as St. Nikodemos of the Holy Mountain): https://www.johnsanidopoulos.com/2012...  Orthodox Wisdom is now on your favorite podcast platform!  Go to the “About” tab at the top of the this channel to find links to:  -Apple Podcasts  -Spotify  -Stitcher  -and more…   This channel is dedicated to sharing the writings and lives of the Saints of the Orthodox Church.
