"Christ is risen, my joy"

"It is said of Saint Seraphim of Sarov that he addressed each person he met with the salutation, 'Christ is risen my joy.' He called each and everyone 'my joy' because he saw in them the work of God, the image of the invisible God. This is another saint who has much to teach us."
