Glory to Jesus Christ!

In three days, I'll be entering the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church via baptism, chrismation, and communion, a new Byzantine Catholic, and I thought it an opportune time to join the forum. I'm honored and blessed to undertake my journey into ancient, orthodox Christianity in Greek Catholicism, and to call you all my brothers and sisters in ecclesial communion. I hope to frequent the website as I have time to learn what I can, and hopefully contribute as well. Nice to meet all of you.

"By his gracious condescension God became man and is called man for the sake of man and by exchanging his condition for ours revealed the power that elevates man to God through his love for God and brings God down to man because of his love for man. By this blessed inversion, man is made God by divinization and God is made man by humanization."- St. Maximos the Confessor

Hey Stuart, yes I've known about the forum for quite some time but haven't frequented it until recently. The website is great, especially the directory.
