361. Поздравление с праздником Рождества Христова и Новым годом

Mother of Abbess Eulalia and Mother Eliconidas, and all living sisters. By the mercy and patience of God we have again reached the feast of the Nativity of Christ. I congratulate you on this most joyful celebration and wish you to celebrate in peace of mind, reverence, and spiritual joy. And in order to have joy, you need to [read] more often: “I remembered God and rejoiced,” according to the psalm. And then, Lord, vouchsafe to begin the New Year with renewal of spirit and spend all subsequent days of the year in health, complacency, and patience with trust in God’s mercy. I remain with sincere goodwill and invoke God’s peace and blessing. You might be interested in:
