Today's Reading
On Easter
Tomorrow
we shall celebrate the glorious Resurrection of Christ.
I shall be
remembering you /in the Holy communion.
Away with tears and fears and
troubles!
United in wedlock with the eternal Godhead Itself, our nature
ascends /into the Heaven of Heavens,
so it would be impious [to call
ourselves “miserable.”]
On the contrary, man is a creature //whom
angels—were they capable of envy—would envy.
Let us lift up our hearts!
***To be impious is to be disrespectful of god or duty. When someone is being impious
they are doing things that their church, synagogue, temple, mosque,
school principal, government or parents would find unacceptable.
