Chapter 1

There is repentance in praise

“Geronda, I am not ascetic as I should be, and this makes me sad.

- Look, praise God.

- Geronda, I ask God for forgiveness more than I praise.

- And that's good, but it's better to praise Him. In doxology there is also repentance, which brings divine consolation, since it contains humility. “Glory to Thee, O God,” also means “forgive me, O my God, my sins, so that I may glorify You, as the angels glorify You.”

“Sometimes, Elder, I don’t start a prayer by asking God to have mercy on me, a sinner, but I start with a doxology. Maybe it's wrong?

- So do it. Didn't we say that there is repentance in doxology? Cheerful people are prone to praise. You see, if someone out of piety greatly regrets some of his fall and then shows repentance, then this brings God to tenderness. Someone, having repented, thanks and glorifies God day and night for delivering him from his former sinful life, and God rejoices at the piety of His child.

Doxology is an expression of the greatest gratitude

- Geronda, what kind of rain is this, the leaves are completely dry!

- What to say? Even such rain, which only wetted the leaves, is that not enough? When I saw clouds in the sky, I could not fall asleep from a feeling of gratitude to God. “My God,” he said, “we are not worthy of the rain.” Beware of ingratitude. Thank God for everything He gives you.

—Geronda, when God fulfills a petition regarding the needs of our monastery, how can we express our gratitude?

– Serve a vigil to thank God, who sent help through His saints. And always adhere to this rule: after any request, when you ask fervently and from the heart, as soon as the Good God fulfills it, give praise from the heart, give thanks with joy.

- Geronda, how to give praise?

- Doxology happens aloud, it happens only with the heart, then this doxology is internal.

– Geronda, is there always gratitude in doxology?

What is praise without gratitude? Don't angels thank God when they praise Him?

– Geronda, what is the difference between praise and gratitude?

- Doxology is joyful gratitude. An outburst of gratitude, an outpouring. This leap comes from within, from the heart. A person may not know all the words by heart, know half, insert his own words, but the heart will tremble with joy. If you thank God for His rich blessings, then thanking and glorifying, you will feel all the richness of His Goodness.

Praise begins with thanksgiving to God

- Geronda, is our feeling of gratitude to God a doxology?

“Um, that's all. This is where praise begins.

– Geronda, how is gratitude to God acquired?

– In order to feel gratitude to God in your soul, it is very useful to observe yourself, behave correctly towards your neighbor and have a feeling of gratitude towards people. Whoever feels gratitude to his neighbor and for a small good deed, undoubtedly, to Christ, Who gave and gives abundantly His good deeds, will experience incomparably greater gratitude. Thus, a person will be constantly filled with gratitude, because at the time when he thinks how to express his gratitude to Christ, the Lord will give him even greater blessings, so that the loving soul will melt from love for Him. After all, if a person has spiritual receptivity and he constantly thanks God for His even the smallest gifts, then God also responds to this with even greater blessings.

– Geronda, should we think about the blessings of God specifically about each person or in general? – If you can think about each beneficence specifically, then this is best. If you pay attention to everything and do not miss anything, you will feel even the slightest touch of the Good God and feel great gratitude. When the child's mind is fixed on the mother, then he feels her gentle touch. But if he is passionate about his toys, then even if she caresses and kisses him, he will not feel anything. God is constantly touching us with tenderness. A person who thinks about the blessings of God is touched, his heart aches, and constantly glorifies God.

– Geronda, how can the heart begin to have fun and rejoice from a feeling of gratitude to God?

– Through humility and love, a person feels the great blessings of God and becomes a grateful slave. “My God,” he says, “I am not worth Your care, help another, someone who is harder than me...” And God, seeing such love and humility, pours out His grace. And so these catch-ups continue: a person thanks - God gives more and more new talents.

"Glory to You, God"

– Geronda, what does “glory to Thee, O God” mean?

“Glory to Thee, O God,” means “so that people may know God.” You see, and Christ said: “I glorified you on earth ... and now glorify me, Father”. Some misinterpret these words and say, "And Christ seeks glory!" And these words mean the following: “I, Father, have revealed You on earth; Reveal me and You, so that people may believe.”

– Geronda, I want to repeat “glory to Thee, God” more often than “Lord, have mercy.” Maybe it's wrong?

“That's good, dear. I can spend the whole day doing needlework and repeating: “Glory to You, God. Thank you, God, for the fact that I live. Glory to Thee, O God, for the fact that I will die and go to Thee. Glory to You, God, even if I end up in hell, and someone from hell will be taken to heaven. And in order not to grieve for me when I am in hell, then may God take many sinners from hell to heaven, so that His joy for them becomes greater, and His sorrow for me decreases.

May "glory to Thee, O God" never leave your lips. For me, when something hurts, the medicine is “glory to Thee, God”; nothing else helps. "Glory to Thee, God" is even higher than "Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me." Elder Tikhon said: ““Lord Jesus Christ” costs a hundred drachmas, but “glory to Thee, God” costs a thousand drachmas, that is, much more.” By this, he meant to say that a person asks for the mercy of God out of necessity, but glorifies God out of piety, and this is of great value. He advised saying “glory to Thee, God” not only when everything is fine with us, but also when we endure adversity, because God also allows trials for the good of the soul.

- Geronda, sometimes when I say “thank God”, I feel some kind of joy in my soul. What is it?

“It is spiritual joy. You have now made me so happy with these words of yours that I will take it with joy and begin to write “glory to God, glory to God ...” and write this “glory to God” on a whole sheet of paper! May God honor you in another life to be with the angels who constantly praise God. Amen.

Chapter 2

Two states of praise

The main thing for understanding doxology is that there are two states in this area. If a person does not go through the first, he cannot reach the second. In the first state, a person endures sorrows, but perceives everything correctly. He follows a good thought, blames himself, humbles himself, repents and thanks God for everything: “My God,” he says, “I thank You, because of my sins I endure all this. I deserve the worst, but I'm afraid I can't stand it. I ask You to give me patience and strength to endure everything. Then comes the divine consolation and the person passes into the second state.

In this state are those who have gone through the field of repentance and felt the divine consolation that comes with the abandonment of sins, that is, they have gone through joyful weeping and achieved praise. Then a person has no grief, he feels a sacred joy, gratitude to God, which he cannot bear. He constantly repeats “glory to Thee, O God”, thanks God for His great blessings, for His great love, and then the soul itself moves to prayer, to the glorification of God or asks God for forgiveness for being unworthy of His blessings.

– Geronda, how did Elder Tikhon pray?

– Elder Tikhon reached the area of ​​doxology and instead of prayer he had doxology. From his lips only was heard: “Glory to You, God, glory to You, God,” and almost all days of the year were “bright” for him, because he constantly lived in Easter joy.

For people in this state, it is always Easter, Resurrection! All the bells and beats ring joyfully. "Praise Him with the cymbals of good voice; praise Him with the cymbals of exclamation". All day long they praise God, and the sound of their hearts is like the ringing of a bell.

Tears of repentance and tears of praise

- Geronda, explain to us the words of Abba Isaac when he writes about tears: “Some tears burn and dry up the body, and other tears gladden and nourish it; tears born from the tenderness of a humble heart because of sin, they burn and dry up the body ... Tears of a different order come from knowledge and reasoning, they adorn the face and nourish the body.

The first tears are tears of repentance. You ache deeply and sincerely about the committed sin and cry with humility. These tears overcome a person, but they also contain divine consolation. When the soul is reconciled with God, tears of gratitude and praise come, and these are tears of joy. Then the soul finds itself in another place, joyfully soars in soft sweetness, heavenly sweetness. In this second state, a person gets by with a small amount of food. The heart rejoices, and the little that it eats is enough for the body; And the lack of sleep doesn't hurt him either. Not that he forces himself not to sleep, but from an excess of joy he cannot sleep. Divine eros flares up in the heart, and he forgets about sleep. This great joy more than compensates for the lack of sleep.

- Geronda, can a person sing with tears: "Christ is born, praise" ?

Yes, with tears of gratitude!

- That is, Elder, a person can cry when he praises God?

– Yes, he feels some inexpressible joy from gratitude, so he can't help it. This is a real outpouring of praise. Contact in the spiritual realm, in the field of doxology. “Glory to You, God, glory to You, God,” repeat constantly. Then everything will cause tenderness in you, for everything you will feel great gratitude to God, and God will drive you crazy with the abundance of His blessings.

Chapter 3

God Gives His Grace Gradually

– Elder, why sometimes we clearly feel grace during prayer, and at other times we don’t feel anything?

- The good God, in order to encourage us to a feat, from time to time gives us such blessings. Just as we give a small child a candy and say: “If you behave, you will get more,” so God gives us “candy” so that we understand how sweet He is and strive to please Him and be close to Him.

– Geronda, can the sweetness felt in prayer by a person who has not yet been cleansed of passions be just a sensual sensation?

- In the beginning, it may be, but as you grow spiritually, it becomes clearer; and the fruit, until ripe, sours and knits... God gradually gives His grace for the benefit of man, because if he immediately feels the fullness of God's grace, he may not be able to endure it. But if a person does not understand that even this small thing is from God, and strengthens himself in the thought that he is something, then God will take away from him what he has given, until the person understands that it does not belong to him, but to God. .

“Sometimes, Elder, after a whole day of work in obedience, when I come to my cell, I don’t want to rest, but do something spiritual.

This is spiritual fertility. Take advantage of these conditions.

– Geronda, how can I praise God then?

– Speak to God simply what is in your heart. Such states are the touch of God.

Divine Comfort in Prayer

– Geronda, when does God give a person the opportunity to smell the fragrance?

– God sometimes sends a fragrance during prayer, sometimes when you are not praying, to comfort, strengthen, inform, but always with some purpose.

“Sometimes, Elder, when I say a prayer and ask for the mercy of God, I feel some kind of inner change, tenderness.

– When a person humbly asks for the mercy of God and realizes his own sinfulness, then God sends him His grace, and the person changes spiritually. He regrets that he has upset God with his sins, repents, feels contrition, and God rewards him with such divine consolation.

– Geronda, when I pray, I feel a certain consolation and joy. Is it from God or charm?

“It’s good, but it’s better not to pay attention. When a person does not pay attention to such things, God is touched even more and gives His help in a different way. Beware of striving for prayer in order to feel pleasure, joy. A child runs to his father not because he gives a chocolate bar, but because he loves his father; Another thing is if the father himself wants to give a chocolate bar. Prayer done in order to feel joy, and not in order to unite with God, is not real prayer.

“Sometimes, Elder, when I pray for the solution of some difficulty, I feel that I am inwardly creating a doxology. This is fine?

– Do you feel divine comfort after prayer?

- I don’t know, Geronda, whether this is divine consolation, but I feel some kind of calmness and confidence.

“Therein lies hope in God and divine consolation.

– Geronda, how can a person understand: does he communicate with God correctly?

- If he receives divine comfort inside. This divine consolation is incomparable with the human, just as heaven is incomparable with the earth.

- Geronda, I try to work in prayer, but I do not feel consolation.

“That's good because you're working for free. Let us give our hearts to God, humbly asking for His mercy, and He knows what we need to give. The spiritual man seeks nothing but the salvation of his soul. He strives not for the sake of divine pleasures, he strives with piety and accepts what God gives him.

Visitation of Divine Grace

– Geronda, what is the uncreated light?

- How do I know? In my cell I have a creaturely stove, which I heat to keep warm. And if you need light, then I light a candle and look!

One should never seek light or Divine gifts, but only repentance, which will bring humility, and then the Good God will give the person what he needs. One day I went to visit Father David of Dionysus. He lived in a cell among rubbish, in darkness. But in this dark cell he lived in the light. He succeeded a lot in prayer and ascended to a high spiritual level. I was afraid to ask him something! “They don’t talk about it, they don’t talk about it,” he repeated. Do you know what it means to see light in the midst of darkness without having light? To live among rubbish and dwell in the mansions of God!

.“To receive a spirit, one must give blood.” . When I lived in a hostel, one day during Great Lent I decided to put it into practice. He did not feel sorry for himself at all, he pulled the rope so tightly that a little more - and it would burst. I felt so tired that I fell in the middle of the road and asked God to help me get up so that people would not see and then they would say: “This is how the monks struggle, that they fall from fatigue.” It was a daily martyrdom. On the Thursday before Lazarus Saturday, in the evening, while praying in my cell, I felt such sweetness, such joy; The light shone on me, tears flowed from my eyes, sweet weeping. This lasted twenty or thirty minutes and gave such strength that then it nourished spiritually for ten years.

When I asked Elder Peter about this, he told me: “I constantly experience such states. At such moments, when Divine grace visits me, my heart is sweetly warmed by the love of God and some kind of extraordinary light illuminates me from within and without, I feel that even my face is shining. Even my cell is illuminated. Then I take off my skullcap, bow my head humbly and say to Christ: “Lord, strike me in the heart with the spear of Your goodness.” From great gratitude, sweet tears flow from my eyes without ceasing, and I glorify God. Then everything stops, because I feel Christ very close and I can’t ask for anything more; the prayer stops, the rosary cannot move."

- Geronda, does a person see the uncreated light with sensual eyes?

- If you leave the squabbles, I'll tell you.

- Geronda, until we get rid of them, you will leave ... Let this be spiritual alms!

– When I lived on Katunakya, in Hypatia’s cell, one evening, after I read Vespers on the rosary, I drank tea and began to continue on. I read Compline and the Akathist by the rosary, and then began to pray. The longer I repeated it, the further the fatigue went away and I felt light. I felt such joy in my soul that I did not want to sleep, I read a prayer all the time. About eleven o'clock at night, my cell was suddenly filled with some kind of sweet, heavenly light. He was very strong, but not blind. At the same time, I realized that my eyes also became "stronger" so that I could withstand this radiance. While I was in this state, in this Divine light, I was in another world, spiritual. I felt an inexpressible joy, and the body was light; the heaviness of the body is gone. I felt the grace of God, divine enlightenment. Sacred concepts passed quickly through the mind, like a question and answer. I did not have any problems and questions, but I asked and received an answer at the same time. The answers were in human words, but there was also theology in them, for they were sacred words. And there were so many of them that if you write it down, you would get the second Evergetinos. This went on all night, until nine in the morning. When that light disappeared, everything seemed dark to me. I went out into the street, and as if it was night. "What time is it now? Hasn't dawned yet?" I asked a monk who was passing by. He looked at me and asked in bewilderment: “What did you say, Father Paisius?” - "What did you say?" I asked myself and returned to my cell. I looked at my watch and then I realized what had happened. It was nine o'clock in the morning, the sun was high, and the day seemed to me at night! It seemed to me that the sun was barely shining, as if an eclipse had come. I felt like a person who suddenly, after a bright light, fell into darkness - there was such a big difference! When this divine state ended, I returned to my usual, human state, and began to do what I always did. I did a little needlework, read the clock by the rosary, after the Ninth hour I soaked some crackers to eat, but I felt like an animal that itches, then chews grass, then stares stupidly back and forth, and said to myself: “Look what I doing! And so many years? Until the evening I felt such joy that I did not even feel the need to rest. That state was so strong. All that day I saw everything dimly, I could hardly do business. It was summer and the sun was shining brightly. The next day I began to see objects as usual. He followed his usual rule, but no longer felt like an animal the day before.

What stupid things we waste time on and what we lose! Therefore, when I see pettiness, squabbles, cowardice, I get very upset.

Mind with Christ in silence...

– Geronda, Abba Isaac writes: “The humble, when standing before God, does not dare to desire to pray”. Then what does it do?

- Feels unworthy to pray, to talk with God.

- And what does he do, Geronda?

“What is before God is enough for him.

– Geronda, how did you practice prayer in those places where you asceticised?

- Go to prayer! Do you know what it means to leave? Dive... Sweet dive...

– Do you mean, Geronda, that you lost your sense of place and time?

- Yes, he left completely ... Even in order to bring some thought to mind, it was necessary to stop praying. You know what it means to sink, sink... Then you don't want anything, you don't need anything.

– Then, Elder, you only say “Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me”?

- You don't say anything; you feel divine warmth, sweetness. Here the prayer stops, because the mind has united with God and does not want to be separated from Him for anything: it is so good for it.

When a person comes to such a state, the prayer ends by itself. Then the mind stops from the presence of God, the brain stops working, and the soul feels only the sweetness of divine love, divine warmth and care, like a baby who does not think about anything, but only rejoices in the arms of its mother. When a child falls silent in his mother's arms, does he say anything? They are together, this is communication.

All people want to be happy, joyful, enjoy every moment, see and feel the colors of life. Joy and positive make our life bright, it is deprived of negativity and dullness.

But what is joy? You can read the definition briefly below. And you will also know where it comes from, and why it is so difficult for many to control their emotional state, while remaining joyful. Why do some people look for it where there can be no talk of joy and do not notice its sources next to them?

Joy: meaning and synonym

What definition can be given to this concept? Joy is a source of strength, inspiration, a muse, kind and bright energy that helps the heart to live in goodness, warmth and peace with oneself and others. This is the way to a competent and simple attitude towards life and all the things that happen in it, which are far from always easy.

Synonyms for the word "joy" are "fun", "jubilation", "delight". This indicates that joy helps us to be more optimistic, happier, which means that it is a source of strong energy.

Joy is a feeling of inner bliss, pleasure.

Why do people need joy?

Joy is one of the main positive human emotions. A person needs it for the following reasons:

1. Joy is a good indicator of the correctness of the choice. When a truly competent, evaluated decision is made, a person cannot be sad, because he does not go against his conscience, against his moral principles and values. You immediately feel a surge of energy. If something goes wrong, wrong, then all joy immediately disappears.
2. Joyful people are always more liked by others. Try to evaluate for yourself a gloomy person who is always complaining about life and a person who shines with a smile, from whom positivity emanates. In the company of which of them would you like to be more? The answer is obvious.

People who are able to be joyful even in the face of difficulties are truly strong and intelligent individuals! It is always immediately felt and seen almost with the naked eye. So your, if not constant, then frequent joy is an indicator of moral strength and intelligence.

What is the source of joy?

Each person has their own source of joy. So, for some, buying an expensive foreign car, relaxing in an expensive resort, a chic blonde or blonde nearby, an expensive phone, jewelry is the reason for happiness. Unexpected joy may flood over another, but so sincere and strong for completely different reasons - the sun, which first came out during the gloomy winter days, the smell of flowers, the smile of a child, hugs, warm memories, laughter with friends. Everett Shostrom said a wise thing: “It is important to enjoy the process of life, and not the achievement of its goals.” And the little things are this process of life, so it is invaluable to learn to enjoy small things, to notice them.

Different sources of joy are explained by the fact that all people have different values ​​in life, but the most important detail in this is the ability to appreciate. If you cannot appreciate what you have now, you will never understand what the real joy of life is! If a person has learned to love every day of his life, people, communication with them, he will know joy, happiness in their full depth. If some things are of no value to you, then they will be closed as sources of joy until you reconsider your views.

But at the same time, it is necessary to properly prioritize. It is important to value everything equally, because if you deprive yourself of one part of your life, you will not be able to succeed in another or fully enjoy other things. Learn not to lose the value of things, and you will never be able to remove joy, happiness from your days.

What kinds of joy are there?

At this stage of time, the following types of joy are distinguished:

1. Dark joy. That is, the moment when a person takes pleasure in bad things in relation to others, no matter if they are relatives or strangers. In other words, extracting joy from someone else's grief, difficulties. If you experience positive emotions at the sight of someone else's misfortune, then you can safely draw conclusions about problems with self-esteem.
2. Nasty, dishonorable joy. The feeling that a person experiences when doing something vile, for example, let out false dirty gossip, and everyone believed in them - joy, and if at the same time they caused a wide resonance from society - just in seventh heaven with happiness. He stole a thing and went unpunished, deceived, betrayed a loved one who did not know about it. If all this causes joyful emotions, then this is also related to the internal problems of the individual. Such joy has a very close connection with the dark.
3. Instantaneous but intense joy. This happens at every turn, which is very good: a long-awaited purchase, a birthday, a victory in a competition, a new achievement, a wedding, and many other events that you attach great importance to. These are all excellent and rather important things in the life of every person, but, as a rule, they are short-lived.
4. Long lasting joy. It is usually deep, spiritual. For example, sincere love for a person, parents, friend, world, true friendship, gratitude. And also, importantly, you need to be able not only to receive good things from everything around, but also to give this blessing. Everything that you give to the Universe comes back to you in a triple form.

In order for that very sincere, unexpected joy to visit you more often, you need to stop accumulating negative emotions, feelings, resentment, anger in yourself, you need to be able to radiate positive energy. You need to train for more than one day, but if you succeed, then you will be able to receive the joy that the Universe sends every day.

Therefore, the quality and duration of joy directly depend on the emotional state of a person, as well as on the efforts that he puts into this.

What is necessary for the continued growth of joy?

In order to learn to rejoice more strongly, you should consider the following factors.

We will rejoice when we learn to be grateful. Know how to appreciate what you have, and there will never be sadness over trifles again.

Stop worrying about what might be wrong with you. It is enough just to stop comparing yourself with others, to stop worrying about someone else's opinion. It is better to stop and analyze what will happen to you if suddenly some passer-by forms the wrong assessment about you. A joyful and happy person, contented with life, will not attach any importance to this. This is freedom - to be yourself and not be afraid that you will be judged, your views and point of view, values ​​will be challenged. It's purely their business. Just move on.

It's important to find the good in everything that happens to you. How true optimists do it. Of course, everyone has periods when, it would seem, nothing good can be seen at all. But every situation has many sides, and by looking at a few, understanding them, you will definitely find something good that you can rejoice at. In the soul you always need to wear a feeling of happiness, then in reality it will not keep you waiting. The words of Lucius Annaeus Seneca can be cited as proof of this: “The one who knows what to rejoice at has reached the top.”

It helps a lot to communicate with others. Try talking for a couple of minutes on a completely mundane topic with a complete stranger for no particular reason. Perhaps you will make new friends. In any case, meeting new people always brings positive emotions.

Do what pleases you. Immerse yourself in this with your head, feel yourself in this state and keep this feeling in yourself. For everyone, it can be completely different things. Perhaps you feel several times better when you dance, play sports, or, on the contrary, sit for several hours a day, solving complex puzzles, solving logic problems, playing chess. The main thing is to find this hobby and enjoy it. Joy will always be present when doing what you love.

And in sadness, and in joy, be simple and treat everything with humor. Sometimes it pays to be kids. Being too serious has never made anyone more joyful.

What prevents us from being happy for other people?

Envy can be a common reason for this. Try to curb this feeling, respect yourself, your nerves and just be happy for the person.

Look at the situation from a different angle, imagine yourself in the place of the person you envy, and then set your goals for yourself and strive for them.

How to respond to those who want evil, not good?

And in sorrow, and in joy, do not pay attention to ill-wishers. Just go your own way, proving your point of view to everyone by striving for a goal, by actions, and not by retaliatory aggression. Rejoice in every moment of life.

If you learn to understand the nature of people, their motives, attitudes, body language, then it will be easier for you to find the key to them and, of course, you will know how to please them. As you already know, bringing joy to people, you yourself become a little happier.

Why do we like joyful people more?

Because they are beautiful. Indeed, joyful people, smiling, sparkling with jokes and positive, look much more attractive in the eyes of others. In addition, they infect us with their optimism and good mood. Joyful people are easy people.

How to learn to look at the world positively?

One of the techniques can be the look of a child. Look at everything through the eyes of small children. They truly know how to see the beauty in every thing. They know how to create unexpected joy almost out of nowhere and spread it to everyone around them.

Children rejoice uncontrollably in the snow, because then their parents will be able to ride them on a sled.

Kids rejoice in the heat, because then they can play, douse themselves with water, ride a bicycle. These are the teachers we really need to learn from.

Joy: quotes about joy

1. “You should always be happy. If joy ends, look for what was wrong ”(Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy).
2. “If you comprehend the art of enjoying every moment, then you have learned a lot” (Azad).
3. “There is pain and sadness in this world... But there is much more joy and love in it!” ("Kubo: The Legend of the Samurai").

Having understood what you need for joy, well-being, what things and people cause the most pleasant emotions and states, what hobbies make you feel on top of the world, in seventh heaven with happiness - strive for them, do everything in your power.

Yet joy and happiness are things that absolutely everyone can achieve. They make our life much more pleasant, bright, filled with moments that we want to live again and again. Be strong personalities, share optimism and enjoy your even a little joy!

Why is it sometimes so difficult to enjoy life? How to rejoice spiritually and worldly? What gives us joy? How can you rejoice in the realization of your sinfulness? How do we lose joy? How to get it in pain and misfortune?

Geronda, sometimes I fail to rejoice, and then I think that maybe joy is not for me.

What do you say? Joy is not for you? And for whom? For a tango girl? What are you? Joy for man! God did not bring sadness, brought only joy.

But why, Elder, do I not always feel joy in my heart?

If your mind is not in God, how will you feel the joy of God? You forget Christ, your mind is constantly busy with work and your spiritual motor stops. Turn on prayer and soft chanting, and you will fly forward, and you will turn around Christ like a star.

Only in Christ does a person find genuine, real joy, because only Christ gives joy and comfort. Where Christ is, there is true joy and heavenly exultation, Those who are far from Christ do not have true joy. They may indulge in dreams: “I will do this and that, I will go there, I will go here,” they can be honored, they can indulge in entertainment and therefore experience joy, but this joy will not saturate their soul. This joy is material, worldly, but worldly joy does not saturate the soul, and a person is left with emptiness in his heart. Do you know what Solomon says? "I built houses, planted vineyards, laid out gardens, collected gold, acquired everything that my heart desired, but in the end I realized that it was all futile."

Worldly joy gives something temporary, which is pleasant only at the moment, does not give what spiritual joy gives. Spiritual joy is heavenly life. Those who have passed the Cross and resurrected spiritually live in Paschal joy. "Easter, Lord's Easter"! And then comes Pentecost! And when a person reaches Pentecost and a fiery tongue descends on him, the Holy Spirit, then everything ends ...

Spiritual joy comes as a result of spiritual work.

Geronda, tell us about heavenly joy.

There is also heavenly joy and heavenly pleasures in this life, and one wonders whether there is anything in another life higher than what one experiences here. This joy cannot be expressed in words, it can only be experienced.

How can such a state be reached?

To come to a state where you cannot contain the joy that overwhelms you and cannot express it in language, you need to pay attention to two things: to behave simply, not to look at others, to pray. If you do this, then the time will come when you will feel such joy that you will say to me: "Geronda, I've gone crazy! Maybe I'm out of my mind? What am I feeling?" You will have such insane joy!

Geronda, in order for a person to feel spiritual joy, he must be in a good disposition?

What do you think when a person experiences spiritual joy? When he has a mess inside? Inner joy comes after order is put in place inside. She gives wings to the soul. Until the soul is warmed by inner doing, it is like a car with an unheated engine, you need to push to make it move. Inner doing - sobriety, attention, teaching and prayer - warms the soul, the engine starts, and the car runs forward. Then a person ceases to pay attention to the external and moves forward in spiritual life with gigantic strides.

And then the unfavorable environment no longer affects the person?

No, it does not, because he lives in another world, outside of this environment. And since he lives in another world, this world does not disturb him. The people around him seem to speak a different language, which the person does not know, and therefore does not understand what they are saying. And it’s good that he doesn’t understand, because if he understood something, even a little, then his attention would be diverted to these words. And now he is completely absorbed in the language he knows. This is how the inner awakening begins. Do you know what inner flare is? Which angelic rank has wings? Cherubim or Seraphim? "Six kril", which the prophet Isaiah speaks of, what rank does he have?

Seraphim, Geronda.

Do you know what Seraphim do? They flap their wings to the beat... The heart beats in exactly the same way when there is inner soaring. Then life is jubilation. But while you are attached to yourself, you have not freed yourself from your “I”, therefore the heart is not free and cannot come to a state when it trembles with joy. Taste this joy first, and then come and talk!

Divine joy comes when you give yourself.

Geronda, does every person who lives according to God experience spiritual joy?

Naturally! In order for a person to have true joy, spiritual, he must love, and in order to love, he must believe. People do not believe, therefore they do not love, do not sacrifice themselves and do not have joy. If they believed, they would love, they would sacrifice themselves for the sake of others, and then they would have joy. From sacrifice comes the greatest joy.

Is a person happy when he loves?

No, on the contrary! When he loves, he rejoices. And when love multiplies, then a person does not seek joy for himself, but wants others to rejoice.

Does this mean that joy comes from something, while love exists on its own?

Yes, that is right. Love exists by itself, while joy springs from love. When you give love, then joy comes. A person gives love and receives joy, is rewarded for love with the joy that he experiences. For example, a person is given some thing, he takes this thing and rejoices in this one thing. The other person gives everything and rejoices not in one thing, but in everything. The joy that a person experiences when he receives, human joy. And the joy that he feels when he gives is holy, divine. Divine joy comes when you give yourself!

Spiritual joy is a gift from God.

Geronda, how does a person receive a notice of his reconciliation with God?

The inner joy, the Divine consolation that a person feels, is the announcement that a person is reconciled with God.

Or can a person feel reconciled with God and at the same time not feel joy and Divine comfort?

No, he can't, he will still feel something. Perhaps he once experienced a strong consolation, and then the consolation became weaker, and therefore it seems to him that he does not feel the Divine consolation.

Geronda, why does it sometimes happen that you are in a good spiritual disposition and experience joy, and then you suddenly lose this joy?

God sends you spiritual joy and you rejoice. Then he takes it away, and you begin to look for it, make more feats and succeed more spiritually.

Geronda, why do I feel such joy? Maybe I have no consciousness of my sinfulness?

Well no! It is God who amuses you with candy. Now sweets, and then wine, like what they drink in paradise. Do you know what sweet wine is? Yes! If God sees even a little bit of piety, even a little bit of good will, then generously gives His grace, makes you drunk with His wine already in this life. The spiritual change that changes a person, and the heartfelt joy that he feels when Divine Grace visits him, cannot be given to a person by any ... cardiologist, even the greatest. When you feel this joy, try to keep it as long as possible.

Should we ask God to give us spiritual joy?

It is petty to ask for spiritual joy; it comes by itself when there are prerequisites. If you want to constantly rejoice, then in such a desire there is selfishness. Christ came into the world to accept the Cross for love. He was first crucified and then resurrected.

The children of God do not work for heavenly reward, not for spiritual joy in this life. After all, the Father does not pay the children for their work, because they own all His property. Another thing is the Divine gifts that God, as a Good Father, gives in this life and in the next.

Spiritual pain is spiritual joy

Geronda, how can a person keep joy in himself?

If he treats everything spiritually. Then even illnesses and trials do not take away his joy.

Doesn't a person, in order to relate to trials spiritually, must first get rid of passions?

Even if a person has not got rid of passions, he can still feel joy when trials and sorrows befall him. If he thinks that these afflictions are a cure for passions, then he will accept them with joy, just as a patient takes bitter medicine with joy in the hope that it will cure him of his illness.

But how to link joy and pain?

Something amazing happens in the spiritual life: when a person endures something for the sake of the love of Christ, even torment, then his heart is filled with Divine pleasure. The same is true when he participates in the Passion of the Lord. The more he is imbued with the thought that Christ was crucified for our sins and gets sick, the richer he is rewarded with Divine rejoicing. Pain is glee, pain is glee. And the more it hurts, the more joy it experiences. He feels as if Christ is gently stroking his head and saying, "Don't worry about Me."

One sister said: "I don't need joy, I want to grieve for the sake of Christ. Christ crucified for me, how can I rejoice? Why does Christ give me joy?" She experienced spiritual states, and the more she participated in the Passion of Christ and had loving sorrow, the more joy Christ gave her. Christ deprived her of her mind in a good way!

The crucifixion always precedes the resurrection and brings victory. The cross brings glory. Christ, after ascending Golgotha ​​with the Cross and after being crucified, ascended to the Father. The crucified Christ delights the bitterness of people, and the crucified man imitates the God-man Jesus.

The good Jesus, along with the sins of the whole world, took upon Himself all its bitterness, and left us with joy and exultation, which is felt by one who has put off his old man, and in whom Christ now lives. Such a person feels on earth a part of heavenly joy, according to the words of the Gospel: "The Kingdom of God is within you."

I thank God that He has honored me to know many such people, and I ask Him to help me and I stop upsetting Him, even if I myself do not deserve such states.

I wish you always in this life to have spiritual joy, and in another, eternal - to rejoice already constantly next to Christ.
