DECEMBER 2007 / Δ Ε Κ Ε Μ Β Ρ Ι Ο Υ 2007
Κοινωνικές Υπηρεσίες: Υπηρετώντας τον Λαό/Social Services: Serving the People
To serve the people is to put your Christian faith into practice. Every Christian knows about the Good Samaritan. All people should be good Samaritans. The basic criterion for the Last and Just Judgment before God, for each and every one of us, is the way we treat our neighbour. Christ says, “those who have done good will rise to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.” (Jn. 5:29) Our Social Workers are doing an excellent job and I express to all of them the gratitude of the Church. Χριστουγεννιάτικες Γιορτές /Christmas Pageants
Christmas can be celebrated in different ways, as long as Christ is not chased out of those celebrations or the season. Christmas is a season for celebrations. However, there must be a balance between material and spiritual enjoyment. May Christ be the Centre of all celebrations and may He be the King of every heart in the world.
Κοίμησις του Αρχιεπισκόπου Σκοπέλου Βσεβολοδ / The Passing of Archbishop Vsevolod of Skopelos
Ο Αρχιεπίσκοπος Βσεβολοδ ήταν άνθρωπος του Θεού. Λόγιος άνθρωπος. Άνθρωπος δράσης. Απόλυτα τίμιος και απλός. Η Εκκλησία οφείλει πολλά σε αυτόν. Ας είναι η ψυχή του μεταξύ των εορταζόντων Αγίων και των Αγγέλων του Ουρανού. Έχει επιστρέψει στον Πατέρα του στους ουρανούς, και ας είναι πάντα στην αγκαλιά Του.
Archbishop Vsevolod was a man of God. A learned man. A man of action. Totally honest and straightforward. The Church owes a lot to him. May he be among the celebrating Saints and the Angels of Heaven. He has returned to his Father in Heaven, and may he be in His bosom.
Χριστούγεννα: Η Μεγάλη Εορτή / Christmas: The Great Feastday
The birth of Christ is a unique event in the history of humankind. It will never be repeated. He Is the Lord, the Redeemer and the Saviour of every human being on this earth. Of the past, of the present and of the future. I wish all a very Merry Christmas, with Christ as King in every soul, and a Happy New Year, blessed by God. |
