"Do not fear Him (God). He is terrible in His greatness, awful in His sublimity, but infinitely merciful. He has made Himself like unto us from love and rejoices with us. He is changing the water into wine that the gladness of the guests may not be cut short. He is expecting new guests, He is calling new ones unceasingly for ever and ever...there they are bringing new wine. do you see they are bringing the vessels.
"Something glowed in Alyosha's heart, something filled it till it ached, tears of rapture rose from his soul... He stretched out his hands, uttered a cry and woke up."
- The Brothers Karamazov, Fyodor Dostoevsky
