SEPTEMBER PASTORAL ADDRESS
TO THE FAITHFUL WORKING OUT THEIR SALVATION
AT THE SPIRITUAL HOME OF HOLY TRINITY
IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND OF THE SON AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
GLORY TO JESUS CHRIST! GLORY FOREVER!
Dear Spiritual Children,
In the Holy Orthodox Church the feast of the Ecclesiastical New Year is September 1st. As we begin this New Liturgical year it is proper for us to consider and reflect on the natural world, those things that our great God, when He first created them and beheld all that He had done, declared 'very good (Genesis 1:31).' This day serves as an opportunity for us to further our knowledge and deepen our faith in God by contemplating the manifold blessings of creation.
Creation reveals a mystery to us, the mystery of our salvation. From the first days to the last days, God beholds creation and it is very good, because the Creator, who is also our Redeemer, is very good. They mystery given to us in creation should also serve to challenge us to have proper stewardship of it. God has given us the gift of creation ultimately for our life here and now and to the life in the age to come.
With love and blessings for the Ecclesiastical New Year,
Fr Lev
