The Season of the Church
The Holy Nativity Fast
Nov 25, 2009 - Jan 6, 2010
Hathor 16 - Kioakh 28, 1726
"We preach not one advent only of Christ, but a second also, far more
glorious than the former. For the former gave a view of His patience;
but the latter brings with it the crown of a divine kingdom. For all
things, for the most part, are twofold in our Lord Jesus Christ: a
twofold generation; one, of God, before the ages; and one, of a Virgin,
at the close of the ages: His descents twofold; one, the unobserved,
like rain on a fleece; and a second His open coming, which is to be. In
His former advent, He was wrapped in swaddling clothes in the manger;
in His second, He covereth Himself with light as with a garment In His
first coming, He endured the Cross, despising shame; in His second, He
comes attended by a host of Angels, receiving glory. We rest not then
upon His first advent only, but look also for His second. " St. Cyril of Alexandria on the Incarnation

The born blind: ‘who am I to judge?’ |
|
|
|
|
Written by Michael Henein
|
In the last week of the holy lent we
celebrate the great miracle that Lord Jesus made when he made the born blind
see. He took clay and made him eyes. Having asked him to go and wash in the
pool of Silwam, the born blind went and washed and returned seeing. Immediately
the disciples asked Lord Jesus ‘who did sin, this man or his parents that he
was born blind?’. Then Jesus answered ‘neither this man nor his parents sinned
but in order that God’s power be revealed in him’.
