Christ
became man and took the human nature from the Theotokos, precisely in order to
come into the hearts of all of us, so that every man can have the experience of
Christ dwelling in him. If we don’t have the experience of this reality in us,
it’s no use living in this world. Man has no reason to exist. We are called to
feel that Christ has come in us in a way which marks the death of the old man;
the death of this old self with his faults, weaknesses, sins, falls, fears,
insecurities, cowardice and depression, all these human shortcomings.
In
order for man to be healed, he needs to get to know himself from a physical,
psychological and spiritual aspect. He, definitely, needs to be helped by
someone already healed spiritually. But man needs to be in obedience.
Archimandrite Symeon Kragiopoulos (†)
