“This rejoicing is not separable from grief for indeed it is rather deeply connected with grief. The one who grieves for his own wrongdoing and confesses it is joyful. Alternatively it is possible to grieve for ones own sins but rejoice in Christ. On this account he says Rejoice in the Lord. For this is nothing if you have received a life worthy of rejoicing. He is right to repeat himself. For since the events are naturally grievous it is through the repetition that he shows that in all cases one should rejoice.” – St. John Chrysostom #ApostlesFast #Rejoice #RejoiceInTheLord…
