CHRIST IS BORN!! GLORIFY HIM!
“Never judge anyone, for any reason. Never do anyone harm. Discipline yourself, purging both material and spiritual evil. Nurture a modest and gentle spirit. Do these things, noticing your own faults rather than those of others, and the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ will be with you lavishly.” ~~An Egyptian Abba

What a wonderful thought for us as we look toward a new year. This is something we can take aim at in becoming more and more like our Lord. I find myself still thinking on that final word “lavishly”. To experience the grace of our Lord- “lavishly” brings a smile to my heart.
Much love in Christ,
Fr. Stephen
