A blessed Feast of the Nativity of the Mother of God to all Christians Rejoice!

"Today the barren gates are opened,* and the Virgin, the Gate of God, comes forth.* Today grace begins to bear fruit,* showing forth to the world the Mother of God* through whom earth is united to heaven* for the salvation of our souls."

"Today God who dominates the spiritual thrones of heaven* welcomes on earth the holy throne which He had prepared for Himself.* In His love for mankind,* He who established the heavens in wisdom has fashioned a living heaven.* From a barren stem He has brought forth for us His Mother* as a branch full of life.* O God of miracles and hope of those who have no hope;* O Lord, glory to You!"

Rejoice of Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, full of grace, the Lord is with you, blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! For you have given birth to Christ, the Savior of our souls!

From Vespers on the New Year:

Wondrous are You, O Lord, and wondrous are Your works, and Your ways are inscrutable,* for You are the Wisdom of God, the perfect Hypostasis and Power,* equally unoriginate and equally ever-existent:* and by Your creative and almighty authority You ineffably entered the world* through Your Mother who knew not man,* seeking to benefit Your creation, not altering in Your divinity,* appointing the times and seasons for our salvation, O Immutable One.* Wherefore, we cry to You: O good Lord, glory to You!

O pre-eternal Word of the Father, who created all things in wisdom* and fashioned every creature by Your almighty word:* bless the crown of the year with Your goodness,* and for the sake of the Theotokos, set heresies at nought,* for You are good and love mankind.

O You that are ever King and abide for endless ages:* accept the supplication of sinners entreating salvation, O Lover of mankind,* and grant fertility to Your earth, bestowing seasonable weather thereon;* on behalf of orthodox Christians contend against the godless barbarians,* as once You did for David, when they came to Your habitations* and defiled the most holy place, O Saviour.* And through the prayers of the Theotokos, grant victories to them, O Christ God,* for You are the victory and boast of the orthodox.

"For as long as the Liturgy is celebrated on earth and man continues to exchange his created life for the uncreated, infinite life of God, there is hope. The Liturgy is an unfathomable gift to humanity. Indeed, whether the world knows it or not, the energy of its hypostatic prayer upholds the existence of the whole universe." - Archimandrite Zacharias

What does a pious Orthodox life look like? For those of us in North America, who so often come from diverse, non-Orthodox backgrounds, this normative pattern of life is difficult to acquire in and must be sought out. As a result, we often find ourselves full of pious feeling, but without a normative...

Today begin's the Dormition Fast. Two weeks to prepare for the falling asleep of the Mother of God, Mary Most Holy.

Pray more, fast more, read more, confess more. Take this time to get our spiritual lives back on track. Our Lady recieved the promise given to all of us, to be with God for all eternity, bodily and spiritually. We look forward to what she has now. Let us prepare for that day, starting this day. Glory to Jesus Christ!
