Refusal to observe the Law or deviation from it (wittingly or unwittingly) leads to punishment, which is expressed through a variety of trials and, in the end, Hell. Christ lived in this environment, too, but overturned the prevailing outlook and brought to the world the glad tidings –the Gospel- that God is love, that He doesn’t punish and that we are saved through His Grace.

A soul which has been wounded by divine love is always joyful. It rejoices, gambols and dances because it floats securely in the Lord’s love, just as people do in calm water. No grievous event in the world can disturb its peace nor detract from its joy and delight.

On May 21st, the Church commemorates two saints with particular gratitude, for the great services rendered to God. They are St. Constantine, and his mother St. Helen. St. Constantine was born in the town of Nysos (which is now the city of Nis in Serbia) around 275 AD. His father, Constantius Chloros, was of Greek-Illyrian origin and rose to become Emperor of the Western half of the Roman Empire. His mother was a virtuous and devout Christian named Helen, who was born in the town of Drepana, Bithynia (Asia Minor) around the year 247 AD. History has called St. Constantine “the Great” for his prudence in politics, his military skill, his courage, and his role in the development of the ...
