In this recording, Archimandrite Athanasios Mytilinaios (1927-2006), answers the question: "Following the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, how is the existence of men and of the universe shaped?” "There is not absolute joy in Paradise because the body is missing. Our existence desires what it acquired, both soul and body. Do not be surprised by that... If God makes us worthy of His Kingdom, we will be there with the whole of our existence, both our body and soul."
