The historical fact of the Resurrection was to be proclaimed throughout the world because the Church had been given the power to do so by the Holy Spirit. We are able to give witness to this fact because the Father sent us the Comforter and Spirit of Truth just as had been promised by Christ.
Our joy is in the Lord, and with this joy comes the power to be transformed. We continue to live in this world but are not of this world. We live our lives in Christ because the Holy Spirit has touched our hearts and made communion with God possible. Our experience of the living God gives us the right to say, “Yes, we know Him, whom we have loved, who has loved us, saved us and given us the gift of eternal life.” To Him we all cry, “Comforter, Spirit of Truth, come and abide in us.”
With love in Christ,
Abbot Tryphon
