JANUARY PASTORAL ADDRESS
TO THE FAITHFUL WHO ARE WORKING OUT THEIR SALVATION AT THE SPIRITUAL HOME OF HOLY TRINITY
In the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit … Amen!
GLORY TO JESUS CHRIST! GLORY FOREVER!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Dear brothers & sisters,
The celebration of the Great Feast of the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ is coming to an end, but at the same time the WORK of Christ’s Birth is actually now beginning.
As we take down our Christmas ‘decorations’ to store them in the attic or the basement, let us be careful not to take down Christ as well. He was meant not for the attic but for the living room of your heart all year round.
If Christ consistently dwells in your life, there will be no serious let-down feeling the ‘day after’ Christmas. Jesus’ presence will make all the post festal days warm with His Power, His Forgiveness, His Grace and His Love!
Matushka Victoria and myself pray God bestows His blessings upon all of you for a happy, healthy and peaceful NEW YEAR!
With love in Christ,
Fr. Lev
