Give
instruction that on your grave is written: "I await the Resurrection of
the dead" (Προσδοκώ Ανάσταση νεκρών), not the other fairy-tales and
verses of some sort that are often written there which contain no
thought in regards to faith and no thought of the Resurrection.
Everything takes place for this Resurrection. The Resurrection is what
gives us comfort. There is so much sorrow in the world, so many tears
and so much wickedness, that if there was no Resurrection, there
would be no reason, not even for a second, for people to live here.
Translation by John Sanidopoulos.
