His Eminence's Message
My Beloved Ones,
As we continue our journey to Bethlehem, the Orthodox Church is mindful of the lessons we must keep in our hearts in preparation for the Nativity of Christ. Therefore, this Sunday is the Sunday of the Holy Forefathers, when we commemorate those who lived righteously awaiting the coming of God’s promised Messiah. Special attention is paid to the Patriarch Abraham, who was blessed by God with a son, Isaac, even though he and his wife Sarah were elderly. This was done to fulfill the Lord’s promise to Abraham that, “I will bless those who bless you… and by you all the families of the earth shall bless themselves” (Genesis 12:13).
