Saint John Chrysostom says the following: “If
they ask you which one you prefer, to be able to turn grass into gold or tread
over gold as if it were grass”, don’t hesitate to go for the second. We,
Christians have found gold, we have found everything, we have found the Son of
God, Christ; not gold but God.
As long
as you live you have the full potential
–the Lord
gives you this opportunity exactly by letting you live– to do what you haven’t
done up until now: to truly repent, to truly believe in Him, to love Him, to
run to Him loving him from the bottom of your heart, feeling great joy and
gratitude before His goodness.
All
conditions are met in order for us to open our heart, our mind, our whole being
to receive the treasure given by God, which isn’t simply some goods; it is His
own self.
Archimandrite Symeon Kragiopoulos (†)
