In a few hours, God willing, I’ll be standing in church, tears streaming down my face, inwardly reciting St John Chrysostom’s Paschal Homily as my beloved priest preaches it in the matins of the Feast.
Beautiful, as always. That homily brings chills up and down my spine. Can't wait to hear it, say EPICRANTHI! IT IS VEXED! and of course sing the ur-hymn, Christ is Risen from the dead.
I won’t be able to make it to the service tonight. Please say a prayer for me if you think of it.
I will, brother. Hope everything's OK.
Yes, it's only a logistics issue keeping me. home. Your words brought a little taste of Pascha to me here in the woods, for which I'm grateful.

Fear of death is of course the principal driving force of Western culture (in particular).
