"Open wide your gates and receive her who bore the Creator of heaven and earth."

During this two-week period of preparation, make an inward journey to Christ. Observe the fast itself. Attend, pray and participate in the Paraklesis Services at your parish. Study your faith more intensely. For just two weeks. But then, make an outward journey. See Christ in those around you and serve them as they were served by Christ. Be hospitable, gentle, and cheerful to all you encounter. The Church continually presents Christ to us and presents us with a way, a journey, to follow. The journey leads to the gates of Paradise, the Kingdom of her Son, just as it did for Her, the Mother of God.


Wishing to all of you, Kali Panagia!




Είθε αυτό το Δεκαπενταύγουστο, όπως κάθε χρόνο, να αποτελέσει μια πρώτης τάξεως ευκαιρία αναφοράς  της ψυχής μας στο παμφίλτατο και στοργικό πρόσωπο της Κυρίας Θεοτόκου μας! 


Καλή Παναγιά!
