CHRIST IS BORN! LET'S GLORIFY HIM!
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ!
Today is the birthday of Jesus Christ.
And we have to feel the day of His birthday in our hearts.
What for God is born?
He came to bless this world, to enlighten it with truth, for people to
understand how to inherit and create harmony for an eternal and happy life.
And while He is born, then God's angels are singing in Heaven: "Glory to God
in the highest, and on Earth peace to men of good will!" Every time while we
together with you are praying to our Heavenly King before the Liturgy, the
hierarchs and priests make this prayer: "Glory to God in the highest, and on
Earth peace toward men of good will!", exactly for the sake of delivering
to the peole the message that Jesus was born. He came to Earth for the peace
to be toward the men of good will. There can't be any peace toward the men
of bad will. Toward the men of good will, only peace and good will ought to
be. If we are the men of good will, then we do good, and also gather and
pray. And there is no difference whether we have golden domes above us or
not; but we are not indifferent whether we have the God's golden domes
above, for the Holy Spirit descended upon us. And we gather to accomplish
that for what Jesus Christ was born: "Glory to God in the highest, and on
Earth peace toward men of good will!" And we want this peace in the
consciousness of everybody, with the understanding of truth expanding toward
all men. And we want that men, perceiving this peace, this consciousness,
this truth, be able to become brothers and sisters in the strength and power
of the Holy Spirit, notwithstanding with the origin, nationality and colour
of skin. Because it is to make all the people brothers and sisters, all the
men of good will, that Jesus Christ the Saviour was born. And then His birth
isn't in vain. Then His birth is again a great help in our hearts for us to
keep calm, joy, and love in this cruel world. To keep all that blessed, that
we have to do, to save ourselves and help the other people to understand
this truth as well.
My congratulations to you on this great holiday of Christmas!
CHRIST IS BORN! LET'S GLORIFY HIM!
