Love Liberates the Heart Liberating our imprisoned heart turns chaos into harmony

The inevitability of death is particularly difficult to face for most Americans, as we've become a people that eschew traditional funerals, preferring to "celebrate the life of our loved one, while disposing of the body, and banning any sign of death from the memorial service should we even decide to have a service. Yet the awareness of our own eventual death is the very thing we should be thinking about, if we want to be prepared for Eternity.

When we live our life focused on enjoyment, pleasure, and the acquisition of material goods, we enslave ourselves, and can only find freedom in God's love. This love creates perfection and faultlessness, and when we think on your own death we become free to perform every task for God.

Our fallen and imprisoned heart is liberated, and becomes inflamed with the love of God when we seek to please Him, and to keep His commandments. This love of God engenders a love that permeates our very essence, allowing us to love every person and every creature. Our heart burns with love. This love turns chaos into harmony and it is Divine energy and Divine strength that transforms us into the being God intended us to be. We are His child, deified and made whole, and the chaos of our lives is turned into harmony.

With love in Christ,
Abbot Tryphon
