A blessed Nativity to all of my dear brothers and sisters here who will celebrate it according to the New Calendar and to my equally dear friends who will celebrate it 13 days later, I pray that the remaining time of your fast be spiritually fruitful for you.

And, as one dear to us and still with us, just not here to post it, would likely have said to all of us ...

Nollaig shona duit
Athbhliain faoi mhaise duit
Bail o/ Dhia ort
Sla/inte chugat
Saol fada chugat

A happy Christmas,
A prosperous New Year,
God to you,
Good health to you,
And long life to you

The Angels sing!
The Archangels blend their voices in harmony!
The Cherubim hymn their joyful praise!
The Seraphim exalt His glory!

from the Nativity Homily of St. John Chrysostom

May the Savior born anew put joy in our hearts, bring peace to all nations and salvation to our souls!

God's choicest blessings to all of you, brothers and sisters, this joyous season!

Christos Razdajetsja!

Prayer at the Feast of the Nativity

Thank You, Lord Jesus, for coming here and sharing our human state with us. Thank You for coming here to look for us, lost sheep that we are. Thank you for what You endured throughout Your earthly life to save us from the power of the Enemy and from eternal death.

Open for us this mystery of Your Incarnation wherein You have made it possible for us to become like you. Let this mystery be at the center of our lives, our prayer, our thanksgiving, and our growing relationship with You. Make us more like you every day--more forgiving, more loving, more patient, more gentle, more long-suffering toward each other.

Stay with us always and never let us be parted from You. Give us the grace each day and each moment to do only those things which are pleasing to You. Show us Your kindness, keep us close to You always, pray through us so that our prayers may be Your own, and then direct us and our lives, from this moment on, as You will. AMEN.
