Christ
is Born! Glorify Him!
Blessings to all the brethren who are celebrating the Nativity
of Christ according to the Julian calendar today! Please take a few moments to read this lovely
meditation by Abbot Tryphon of the All-Merciful Savior Monastery on Vashon
Island, Washington: http://blogs.ancientfaith.com/morningoffering/2017/01/the-nativity/
Our Serbian Orthodox brethren in Kosovo are also celebrating
Christ’s Holy Nativity today. With heartfelt
joy, I share news from Fr. Nektarios Serfes of the joy of the Decani (monastic)
fathers who received $7,313.45 in recently collected funds to feed the Orthodox
families with meat—pork roasts—for this feast.
Five thousand dollars went to purchase meat and the remainder to
purchase firewood to warm the faithful Christians in the area—those in homes,
in monasteries, and in schools.
THANK YOU! Those two words don’t seem much in and of
themselves, but they are sent to us from grateful hearts in Kosovo on this
precious and holy day. Again, we have
the witness that God does not forget His people but helps them through one
another.
Love in Christ,
Presbytera
Candace
