The Mystery of the Risen Christ
Fr. Boris Bobrinskoy, trans. Fr John Breck
EXCERPTS and excursus:

The entire message,
indeed the very essence of Christianity
can be summed up
in the Church's triumphal cry
on the night of Holy Pascha:
"Christ is truly risen!"
...
All Christian theology,
all Holy Tradition,
is nothing other than
a ceaseless meditation of this
"One Thing Needful"
Lk 10:42.

Every aspect of the Church's life, the theology of the Holy Fathers and the Ecumenical Councils, biblical exegesis, liturgical theology, Christian hymnography, the spiritual experience of the saints, the experience of our own response to the Vision and Apocalypsis of the Beloved Disciple of 1 John 4:10 ~

Everywhere and at all times the Mystery of Christ is the most fundamental Christian reality, in which every symbol of faith is grounded and from which all the richness of Church tradition flows forth.
