To the beloved St Sophia community,

His Eminence Metropolitan Isaiah expresses his love and appreciation for your continued thoughts and prayers. In his Christmas message for 2021(see below) you will find he offers us a beautiful conveyance of God’s blessings.

It is on this day and everyday, that I’m truly thankful to God, that he has brought us together, allowing us yet another opportunity to receive and better understand the gift of His only begotten son in the flesh.

It is ON THIS DAY…

…while traveling to Bethlehem Mary and Joseph contemplate this Mysterious birth!

…the Virgin Maid goes to the grotto to give birth to the pre-eternal Word in an ineffable manner.

…earth provides the grotto and upon hearing, all it’s inhabitants dance for joy.

…angels sing and with the shepherds offer up glory.

…following a star the Magi are still proceeding.

…Him who willed that He appear as a newborn Child, the pre-eternal God, transcends heaven and earth through the virginal womb.

…Your nativity, O Christ our God, has caused the light of knowledge to rise upon the world. 

…the worshippers of the stars were by a star instructed to worship You, the Sun of Righteousness.

…the Virgin gives birth to the Super-essential, the Unapproachable, born for our salvation, a newborn Child, the pre-eternal God.

ON THIS DAY…may all the comfort, joy and peace that Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is offering, rest in the manger of your heart.

CHRIST IS BORN! GLORIFY HIM!

Fr. Thomas
