All spiritual life
begins with faith and continually seeks to be united with Christ. Instead
of having our attention directed to earthly things and matters, “have one’s
mind wholly set on Christ,” says Saint Symeon.
“Think of the unutterably
glory of the Godhead, which is beyond thought and understanding. Think
of God’s unutterable power, His immeasurable mercy, His inconceivable riches,
which He generously and bountifully gives to men. “
To seek union with God
we must be able to change our life so it can become totally Christ centered. He
says,
“Flee from the deceit of
life and it’s supposed happiness and run to Christ alone, who is the Savior of
souls. ...who is everywhere present...let us hold Him fast and fall at His
feet.”
Just
like the women who went to the tomb and fount it empty and then encountered the
Risen Christ and “held Him by the feet and worshiped Him” (Mt 28:9).
