Patriarch Danil of Bulgaria, Metropolitan of Sofia, greeted the faithful with the joyful words "Christ is risen!" In his Easter message, he called on Orthodox Christians to share the extraordinary joy of heaven with the world through a life of light and good deeds.
Let us reflect on our way of life. Let us "purify our senses" - that is, let us be vigilant, watch over ourselves and guard against sin. Let us not allow ourselves to be overcome by judgement, forgetfulness of self, selfishness, callousness, indifference or despair. Rather, let us work together - in peace with God and with our neighbours - for our salvation. And when we have "purified our senses", we will "behold Christ shining with the unapproachable light", for sin drives away joy. But living in Christ according to His commandments is the source of grace-filled Easter joy.
We pray that we may always and in all things be faithful witnesses, tireless guardians and fervent proclaimers of Christ's Resurrection! Christ's Resurrection is the hope of the world! Christ's Resurrection is the meaning of life! Christ's Resurrection is the fountain of joy!
CHRIST IS RISEN!
TRULY HE IS RISEN!
