Guest on the show “Buongiorno” today, Good Wednesday, was Kostas Apostolakis. The well-known actor went into a deep confession, talking about his life before and after Christ, as he said.
“Six years have now passed. I can’t imagine myself before. And it’s a nice conversation starter to explain what the new creation means,” Costas Apostolakis said at first.
Costas Apostolakis went on to say, “New building means being a different person, with different beliefs, different ideals. Do you know what happens? They say people don’t change. They do not change. They don’t change. But if they want and ask for something, they change on their own.
Here is one of the mysteries of the Cross. So when a man is upright, he is God to himself. He can do everything. He regulates everything. When he lies down, then he says, Holy Mary, how can you come? Jesus, how can you come? And this is recognized by the heavenly power. There are demons for all the virtues. There is the demon of goodness, the demon of kindness.”
The actor also referred to his “encounter” with Christ, which he described as a metaphysical experience that occurred at a time of great personal brokenness and need, and he said that through this experience he felt the pure energy of the divine: “I couldn’t help but say I met Him after it happened.”
Costa Apostolakis said: “The teaching of Christ is about giving, giving things, offering things, everything you have. You can have nothing. Mother Teresa helped 70 million people. I may be able to help one. So that one person pays off. And because I need this thing, one person to see it and do his cross, it’s for God’s glory, it’s not for my glory.
I felt His energy, the pure energy that you feel in you and it’s clear that. If something doesn’t happen to you, you can’t say the quality of it is this, the taste of it is that, you don’t know. But when you taste it, then you will say oh, that’s it.”
Costas Apostolakis also said, “The Holy Spirit comes to man in one way, by crushing. It does not exist, it is not mocked. It is the only thing that is not mocked on this earth. By crushing yourself, to say I am nothing. I in that single and most powerful moment when this happened to me, it was the most powerful moment of self-cancelling, of self-crushing.
When your soul is drowning, when the soul is tired, when the soul is on its knees, that’s usually how it happens. Everyone has his particular time in knowing the divine, as long as he doesn’t spend it that way and not notice it. I cancel myself, but not the course. It is like sin. That is, I do not judge the sinner as a man, I judge the sin, which if he had not had it he would have been better. So then I do not judge my course. I am judging myself in that course. Selfish, friendly, proud, philanthropic.”
