There are many books about happiness. This is probably one of the greatest. It comes to us from a spiritual master of the Christian Orient, a lay theologian of the Church of Constantinople who wrote these pages - incredibly topical in the 16th century - at the time of another lay theologian of the Latin Church, Catherine of Siena. Nicolas Cabasilas urges us to let ourselves be seduced by the passionate love of Jesus Christ, God made man. Addressing us as free beings, Christ comes to greet us through the sacraments of Christian initiation (baptism, Chrismation and the Eucharist) and transforms our lives in order to augment them in the fire of our deification. He also renews our human behaviour, so that by enacting the evangelical beatitudes, we make the Earth a better place to live in. The enlightening pages of this foremost text of Byzantine Orthodox spirituality will permit readers to discover that man’s happiness is also God’s pleasure.
