"Come, then, let us observe the Feast. Truly wondrous is the whole chronicle of the Nativity. For this day the ancient slavery is ended, the devil confounded,
the demons take to flight,
the power of death is broken,
paradise is unlocked,
the curse is taken away,
sin is removed from us,
error driven out,
truth has been brought back,
the speech of kindliness diffused,
and spreads on every side,
a heavenly
way of life has been ‘in planted on the earth, angels communicate with men
without fear, and men now hold speech with angels." – St. John Chrysostom
As we accept the invitation to celebrate the Birth of Jesus, may we experience the beauty of a new paradise.
Revelation 2:7 - Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.Living in Grace
