Orthodox Christmas Thought for January 2010

If the Magi had come in search of an earthly King, they would have been disconcerted at finding that they had taken the trouble to come such a long way for nothing. Consequently they would have neither adored nor offered gifts. But since they sought a heavenly King, though they found in Him no signs of royal preeminence, yet, content with the testimony of the star alone, they adored: for they saw a man, and they acknowledged a God. - Saint John Chrysostom (Sermon on the Epiphany of the Lord)


Thoughts to be considered?

    For those of you who consider yourselves true spiritual strugglers in this life for the life to come, what is your celebration of Jesus the Christ's birth mean to you?

    Your search is in your heart, your very mind... what do you find in Him who is the salvation of those who truly struggle?  Do you find all that is said concerning the 'babe'? A stable with dirt and sand, which is something like your very soul where the 'babe' must grow and dwell if you are true to the Holy Trinity, the source of all life and abundance?

    What is your gift to Him who is borne of man? What will be found in the stable of your soul?  What is wanting?

    The star of Jesus the Christ is the light of your soul within... how bright is it... does it reflect a person who is truly struggling in this life for the life to come?

In anticipation of the forthcoming year, 2010... we are disconnecting many of the links to the old news and the archives.  We are going to create a new archive having to do only with religious news that we consider important.  Each Month's DAILY NEWS will contain both religious and secular, but will also be culled at the end of each month to save only religious news for archiving... This will obviously take time to accomplish for those article in past years and cause some problems along the way with some links not working... But we do ask for your patience in our endeavors.

 

You have reached the end of the primary article or news item(s) posted.  We take no responsibility or liability for News or other information posted at this web site, nor any link to other websites or the contents therein - If a link does not fully work...

"Never, never, never let anyone tell you that, in order to be Orthodox, you must also be eastern. The West was Orthodox for a thousand years, and her venerable liturgy is far older than any of her heresies."

- Blessed St. John Maximovitch of Shanghai and San Francisco
