ومع روحك أيضاً. أبونا باسيليوس

بواجب الاستحقاق حقا نغبط والدة الإله الدائمة الطوبى، البريئة من كل العيوب أم إلهنا. يا من هي أكرم من الشيروبيم وأرفع مجدا بغير قياس من السيرافيم، التي بغير فساد ولدت كلمة الله وهي حقا والدة الإله، إياك نعظم.




The truth about Christ’s humanity is also reflected in the Virgin’s title, Theotokos. For Mary gave birth to her Son in the same wonderous way all of us were born. Many other religions have stories about gods who appear on the earth and walk about in the semblance of men. Christianity is unique in insisting that our God—the only God there is, in truth—actually became one of us. The Incarnation was not some divine parlor trick. God the Son took on a real human nature in the Virgin’s womb--flesh and bone, mind and soul. Christ is one with us in His humanity because He is His mother’s Son. Our God has known a mother’s love. And the love Chirst experienced craddled in Mary’s loving arms is of a piece with the love He showed Himself at Calvary

On this Holy Feast Day, As we come to the communion rail to receive the precious +Holy Gifts+ of our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament of the altar, let us take a moment to remember the awesome gift of His own life that Christ pours out for us here is a gift His beloved Mother Mary first gave to Him. And let us be thankful

Holy Mary, Theotokos, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death


In The **** Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
