The Golden Mean is the best policy, says popular priest.

We might be a few days too late on this one, but it’s the intention that counts, Pascha is a forty day feast, and, better late than never. Archpriest Artemy Vladimirov reminds us that the Paschal table is one best enjoyed in moderation. He also reminds us not to be stingy with our feast, but to share it with as many friends as we can, “because the more friends you have, the more fun your communication is, the more the living water of God's grace flows in your soul.”

 

 

His brief, heartfelt exhortation comes in at under one minute, so take a second to take it in. The auto-translate works, but we include a transcript here in English as well:
