5 DECEMBER 25:THE NATIVITY OF OUR LORD GOD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST Great anticipation is building as we come closer to Christmas Day. The old remember the happy times in their youth when families gathered to celebrate, and the young ones have hopes for the presents and blessings that will be exchanged. This is the one time of the year that many give gifts of charity to those who are financially disadvantaged, remembering God's manifold blessings. Others surrender their burdens and sorrows for the joy that comes with the knowledge that "a Child is born" to the world, a Child Who brings light, solace and peace into the farthest corners of the earth. In this time of the year, as we rush from store to store searching for the perfect gift for our love ones, let us remember that this is the season when the Church hymns out tidings of great joy announcing that Christ is born! "Christ is born; glorify Him! Christ comes from heaven; go to meet Him! Christ is on earth; be exalted! Sing to the Lord, all the earth! And praise Him in gladness, O people, for He has been glorified!" This hymn describes how Orthodox Christians joyfully give thanks to the gift of Christ's miraculous Incarnation. The hymn calls us to act in a very conscious and decisive manner. As Christians we live our Faith and witness it to the world through our gladness and joy; like the single light burning brightly in the darkness. This time of the year is also a time of humility, which today's society has forgotten with the commercialization of this Christ-mass day. The Theotokos responded in humility when she consented to bear the Christ-child. Christ chose a humble cave in which to be born and become Man. The shepherds bowed in reverence and humility to the newborn King. The three wise kings traveled vast distances to pay homage to a baby in a cave used to shelter farm animals. O, what great and moving images these thoughts build! We, like the foreign kings and pure hearted Theotokos, must respond to our Christian Faith in simple humility at all times, and especially now during the Advent Season. Christ's birthplace also reminds us that He depends upon each of us to welcome Him in our very homes, and to make Him part of our lives and families. Rejoice over the message of humility, life, love, and the hope that Christ's life offers us. Do not let your hearts be cold and stomachs sated with the lifeless material things gathered and food eaten. Let s celebrate the joy of the Nativity and extend our love to one another praying that the newborn Child blesses each of us. 5

6 25 ΔΕΚΕΜΒΡΙΟΥ: Η ΓΕΝΝΗΣΙΣ ΤΟΥ ΚΥΡΙΟΥ ΚΑΙ ΘΕΟΥ ΚΑΙ ΣΩΤΗΡΟΣ ΗΜΩΝ ΙΗΣΟΥ ΧΡΙΣΤΟΥ Ο Μέγας Βασίλειος θαυμάζοντας το γεγονός της Γεννήσεως του Χριστού, θέτει στο στόμα της Παναγίας τα ακόλουθα λόγια: «Πως να Σε ονομάσω εγώ, θαυμαστό μου βρέφος; Τι θνητό όνομα να δώσω στον καρπό του Αγίου Πνεύματος; Να Σου προσφέρω θυμίαμα ή γάλα; Έχεις ανάγκη από τις μητρικές μου φροντίδες, ή να πέσω στα πόδια Σου και να Σε λατρεύω; Τι ανεξήγητη αντίθεση; 0 ουρανός είναι ο θρόνος Σου κι εγώ σε τοποθέτησα στα γόνατα μου. Σε βλέπω στην γη κι όμως δεν άφησες τον ουρανό. 0 ουρανός είναι εκεί, όπου ευρίσκεσαι Εσύ». Την απορία και την έκπληξη της Παναγίας συμμερίζεται και άγιος Βασίλειος. Και προσπαθώντας να βρει το μυστικό που πέτυχε την ένωση τόσο αντιθέτων πραγμάτων, καταλήγει ότι είναι Η ΤΑΠΕΙΝΩΣΗ! Από ταπείνωση ο Θεός έγινε άνθρωπος! Από την ταπείνωση Του η γη έγινε ουρανός! Δεν ανέβηκε ο άνθρωπος στον ουρανό. Κατέβηκε ο Θεός στην γη. Και έτσι μας έμαθε έμπρακτα, πως μπορεί η γη, από τόπος εξορίας να γίνει παράδεισος. Από ζούγκλα, να γίνει Βασιλεία του Θεού. Γι' αυτό και οι πρώτοι, που αξιώθηκαν να Τον προσκυνήσουν, ήταν οι ταπεινοί ποιμένες. Και οι γεμάτοι ταπεινό και ειλικρινές φρόνημα αναζήτησης της αλήθειας, «μάγοι εξ ανατολών». Αυτή η αρετή της Ταπείνωσης είναι το μεγάλο μήνυμα της εορτής των Χριστουγέννων. Μόνο ο άνθρωπος που καλλιεργεί και αγαπάει αυτή την αρετή, μπορεί κάπως να νιώσει, τι έγινε εκείνη την παγωμένη νύχτα του Δεκέμβρη στην Βηθλεέμ της Ιουδαίας. Και μόνο με αυτή την αρετή, μπορεί να αξιωθεί να δεχθεί στην καρδιά του τον Νεογέννητο Βασιλέα και Σωτήρα Χριστό. Αγίου Εφραίμ του Σύρου CONGRATULATIONS Congratulations are in order for Miss Alicia Marinis for being awarded a $500 scholarship from the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Toronto towards her studies!

WHAT BENEFACTOR HAS ENABLED YOU TO LOOK OUT UPON THE BEAUTY OF THE SKY, THE SUN IN ITS COURSE, THE CIRCLE OF THE MOON, THE COUNTLESS NUMBER OF STARS, WITH THE HARMONY AND ORDER THAT ARE THEIRS, LIKE THE MUSIC OF A HARP? WHO HAS BLESSED YOU WITH RAIN, WITH THE ART OF HUSBANDRY, WITH DIFFERENT KINDS OF FOOD, WITH THE ARTS, WITH HOUSES, WITH LAWS, WITH STATES, WITH A LIFE OF HUMANITY AND CULTURE, WITH FRIENDSHIP AND THE EASY FAMILIARITY OF KINSHIP?... IS IT NOT GOD WHO ASKS YOU NOW IN YOUR TURN TO SHOW YOURSELF GENEROUS... BECAUSE WE HAVE RECEIVED FROM HIM SO MANY WONDERFUL GIFTS, WILL WE NOT BE ASHAMED TO REFUSE HIM THIS ONE THING ONLY, OUR GENEROSITY? - ST. GREGORY NAZIANZEN 10
