A Christmas Greeting from Fr. Jonathan
In the Nativity of Our Lord, we celebrate the descent of God. He who cannot be contained by the expanse of the cosmos humbled Himself and took to Himself our flesh, our frailty, our mortality and even our sin. All this He did so that we might ascend, that we might be called the sons of God, be partakers of the divine nature and reign with Him eternally. Beloved, let us hallow this season of Christmas and laud Him, for He did not abhor the virgin’s womb but condescended to our low estate that we might share in His eternal glory.
