“The fleshless one takes flesh, the Word is made coarse, the invisible one is seen, the impalpable one is touched, the timeless one makes a beginning, the Son of God becomes Son of Man”
- St Gregory of Nazianzus.

Dear beloved congregation, 

May our Lord grant us all to comprehend the mysteries of His incarnation and His Nativity. 
Let us meditate on them to develop a personal relationship with Him and experience Him in our lives.

We pray that you all have a blessed and glorious feast of Nativity.

A message from St Mary & St Mina's Fathers for the New Year..

"The voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord, make His paths straight".  - Mark 1:3

Our beloved congregation,

We live in two dimensions: the realm of time and that of eternity. 

May our Lord help us all to transform our time on earth into eternity by fulfilling the commandments of Christ for the sake of the great blessedness - the union of our souls with God.

We pray that you and your families have a blessed New Year in Christ. 

The Fathers, St Mary and St Mina's Cathedral.

"Fasting is the path to Bethlehem, for it is by self-emptying that we meet the One who emptied Himself for our sake." St Isaac the Syrian. 

Dearly beloved, wishing you a blessed journey of the Holy Nativity fast - may it be a spiritually enlightening journey, in preparation to meet our incarnate Saviour. 🙏
