During this blessed period, the spiritual treasure and dynamism of the ecclesiastical life as well as the soteriological reference of all its expressions are revealed with clarity.</p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; opacity: 1; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out 0s; visibility: visible;">We have already learned much from the impasse and self-righteous arrogance of the Pharisee, from the barren moralism and hard-heartedness of the elder son in the Parable of the Prodigal Son, and from the callousness and condemnation on the Day of Judgment of those who proved indifferent to the “least of our brothers” that were hungry, thirsty, foreigners, naked, ill, and imprisoned. Moreover, the value and power of humility and repentance, of forgiveness and mercy were revealed to us as attitudes that the Church emphatically calls us to nurture in the period that opens up before us.</p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; opacity: 1; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out 0s; visibility: visible;">Holy and Great Lent is a welcome time of spiritual, inner and physical purification and discipline, which—as we just heard in the Gospel passage that was read—traverses through fasting, which should not be practiced “so that others may see,” and through forgiveness of our brothers and sisters: “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father also will forgive you” (Mt. 6.14). After all, this is what we confess each day with the Lord’s Prayer, when we say: “as we forgive the sins of our debtors” (Mt. 6.12).</p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; opacity: 1; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out 0s; visibility: visible;">Yesterday, on Cheesefare Saturday, the Church honored the memory of the saintly men and women who shone in ascetic life. Saints are not only models for the faithful in the good fight of life in Christ and according to Christ. They are also our fellow travelers, friends and supporters in the ascetic journey of fasting, repentance, and humility. We are not alone in our effort, but we have God, who encourages and blesses us, as well as the Saints and Martyrs, who stand beside us, and above all the First among the Saints and Mother of God, who intercedes for us all to the Lord. Sanctity is proof of the power of divine grace and the human synergy in the Church, which takes place through participation in the holy sacraments and fulfilment of the divine commandments. There is no “gratuitous piety” or “easy Christianity,” just as there is no “wide gate” or “spacious way” that leads to the heavenly Kingdom (cf. Mt. 7.13–14).</p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; opacity: 1; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out 0s; visibility: visible;">The Church constantly reminds us that salvation is not an individual, but an ecclesiastical event, a common discipline. During the God-guarded Holy and Great Lent, what becomes apparent for the spiritual life of the faithful is the definitive meaning of participation in the life of the community—that is to say, in the Christian family and parish, or else in the monastic coenobium. We would like to highlight the function of the Christian family as a community of life for the experience of Great Lent’s spirituality. Our predecessor among the Saints, John Chrysostom, described the family as “a small Church.”[1] Indeed, it is in the family that occurs the rendering of our existence into that of the church; it is there that the sense of the social and communal character of human life and the life in Christ as well as the love, mutual respect and solidarity are developed; and it is there that the life and joy of cohabitation are experienced as a divine gift.</p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; opacity: 1; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out 0s; visibility: visible;">The joint endeavor to apply the ecclesiastical rule and ethos of fasting in the context of the family manifests the charismatic dimension of ascetic life and, more broadly, the conviction that whatever is true, honorable, and rightful in our life comes to us from above; that despite our own cooperation and contribution, in the end they transcend whatever is humanly achievable and accessible. After all, the communal aspect of life, the love for one another that does not seek its own, and the virtue of forgiveness, do not allow room for human rights-ism and complacency. An expression of such a spirit of “common freedom” and eucharistic asceticism is precisely the inseparable connection between fasting, charity, and participation in the parish and liturgical life of the Church. Living out this “Lenten spirit” within a Christian family leads us to the depth of truth in the ecclesiastical experience and constitutes the birthplace and source of Christian witness in our secularized contemporary world.</p><p style="background-color: white;

Крім того, цінність і сила смирення та покаяння, прощення та милосердя були відкриті нам як погляди, які Церква чітко закликає нас плекати в період, що відкривається перед нами.</p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; opacity: 1; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out 0s; visibility: visible;">Святий і Великий Піст – це бажаний час духовного, внутрішнього і фізичного очищення і дисципліни, який, як ми щойно почули в прочитаному Євангельському уривку, проходить через піст, який не слід практикувати, «щоб інші бачили», а через прощення наших братів і сестер: «Бо коли ви будете людям прощати їхні провини, то й Отець ваш Небесний простить вам» (Мт 6,14). Адже це ми сповідуємо кожного дня молитвою Господньою, коли говоримо: «як і ми прощаємо провини винуватцям нашим» (Мт 6,12).</p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; opacity: 1; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out 0s; visibility: visible;">Учора, у Сиропусну суботу, Церква вшанувала пам’ять святих чоловіків і жінок, які просіяли в подвижницькому житті. Святі є не лише взірцем для вірних у добрій боротьбі життя у Христі та за Христом. Вони також є нашими попутниками, друзями та прихильниками в подвижницькій дорозі посту, покаяння та смирення. Ми не самотні в наших зусиллях, але ми маємо Бога, який підбадьорює і благословляє нас, а також святих і мучеників, які стоять поруч з нами, і перш за все Першу серед святих і Матір Божу, яка заступається за всіх нас до Господа. Святість є доказом сили Божої благодаті та людської синергії в Церкві, яка здійснюється через участь у Святих Таїнствах і виконання Божих Заповідей. Немає «даремної побожності» чи «легкого християнства», як немає «широких воріт» чи «просторої дороги», що веде до Небесного Царства (пор. Мт 7,13–14).</p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; opacity: 1; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out 0s; visibility: visible;">Церква постійно нагадує нам, що спасіння – це не індивідуальна, а церковна подія, загальна дисципліна. Під час Богом-береженого Святого і Великого посту, те, що стає очевидним для духовного життя вірних – остаточний сенс участі в житті громади – в християнській сім’ї та парафії, або у монастирській спільноті. Хочемо підкреслити функцію християнської сім’ї як спільноти життя для переживання духовності Великого посту. Наш попередник серед святих, святитель Йоан Золотоустий, описав сім’ю як «малу Церкву» [1]. Дійсно, саме в сім’ї відбувається перетворення нашого існування в церковне; саме там розвивається відчуття соціального та спільнотного характеру людського життя та життя у Христі, а також любов, взаємоповага та солідарність; і саме там життя і радість співжиття відчуваються як божественний дар.</p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; opacity: 1; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out 0s; visibility: visible;">Спільне прагнення застосувати церковне правило та етос посту в контексті сім’ї виявляє харизматичний вимір аскетичного життя і переконання, що все, що є правдивим, чесним і правильним у нашому житті, приходить до нас з висоти; що незважаючи на нашу власну співпрацю та внесок, вони перевершують усе, що є досяжним і доступним людиною. Зрештою, спільнотний аспект життя, любов один до одного, яка не шукає свого, і чеснота прощення не дають місця правозахиснику та самовдоволенню. Виразом такого духу «загальної свободи» та євхаристійного подвижництва є саме нерозривний зв’язок між постом, милосердям та участю в парафіяльному та літургійному житті Церкви. Переживання цього «духа Великого посту» в християнській родині веде нас до глибини істини в церковному досвіді та становить місце народження та джерело християнського свідчення в нашому секуляризованому сучасному світі.</p><p style="background-color: white;

hizo dignos una vez más, de entrar en el período del Triodion de compunción,
benéfico para las almas, y alcanzar la Santa y Gran Cuaresma, etapa de luchas
ascéticas, llena de dones superiores y del gozo de la crucifixión y
resurrección. Durante este tiempo bendito se revela claramente la riqueza
espiritual y el dinamismo de la vida de la iglesia y la referencia salvífica de
todas sus manifestaciones.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="normal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 49.65pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;"><span lang="ES" style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">Mucho nos ha enseñado ya el orgullo
autojustificativo y sin salida del fariseo, el moralismo infértil y la dureza
de corazón del hijo mayor de la parábola del hijo pródigo, la insensibilidad y
la condenación de aquellos que se desinteresaron de los hambrientos, los
sedientos, los extranjeros, los desnudos, los enfermos y los prisioneros , los
"hermanos menores" del Juez. En todos nosotros se ha revelado el
valor y el poder de la humildad y del arrepentimiento, del perdón y de la
caridad, actitudes a cuyo cultivo la Iglesia nos llama enfáticamente durante el
próximo período.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="normal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 49.65pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;"><span lang="ES" style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">La Santa y Gran Cuaresma es un
tiempo de bienvenida purificación y ejercicio espiritual, mental y físico, que
se realiza, como hemos escuchado en el pasaje evangélico que acabamos de leer,
a través del ayuno, que no está permitido observar "para ser visto por los
hombres", así como mediante el perdón hacia los hermanos: "Si
perdonáis a los hombres sus ofensas, también vuestro Padre celestial os
perdonará a vosotros" [1]. Esto, además, lo confesamos cada día en la
oración dominical con la frase "así como nosotros perdonamos a nuestros
deudores" [2].<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 6.65pt; margin-left: 49.65pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;"><span lang="ES" style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">Ayer, sábado de Tyrofagos, la Iglesia honró la memoria de los
santos y santas que brillaron en la ascesis. Los santos no son sólo
modelos de los creyentes en la buena lucha de la vida en Cristo y según Cristo,
sino también compañeros, amigos y ayudantes en las penurias ascéticas del
ayuno, el arrepentimiento y la humildad. No estamos solos en nuestros
esfuerzos, pues tenemos a Dios que se complace y nos bendice, a los Santos y
Mártires que nos asisten y, por encima de todo, la intercesión hacia el Señor
de la Santísima Theotokos. La santidad es evidencia del poder de la gracia
de Dios y de la sinergia del hombre, en la Iglesia, mediante la participación
en los santos sacramentos y la observancia de los mandamientos divinos. No
hay "piedad gratuita" ni "cristianismo fácil", tampoco
"puerta ancha" ni "camino espacioso" que conduzca al Reino
de los cielos [3].<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 6.65pt; margin-left: 49.65pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;"><span lang="ES" style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">La Iglesia nos recuerda constantemente que la salvación no es un
hecho individual, sino un acontecimiento eclesiástico, un ejercicio
común. Durante la Santa y Gran Cuaresma, amparada por Dios, se revela la
importancia decisiva para la vida espiritual de los fieles de la participación
en la vida de la comunidad, en la familia cristiana y en la parroquia o,
respectivamente, en la comunidad monástica. Deseamos exaltar la función de
la familia cristiana como comunidad de vida para experimentar la espiritualidad
de la Gran Cuaresma. Nuestro antecesor entre los Santos Juan el Crisóstomo,
llamaba a la familia una "pequeña Iglesia"[4]. En efecto, en la
familia se produce la eclesiastización de nuestra existencia, se desarrolla el
sentido del carácter social y comunitario de la vida humana y de la vida en
Cristo, se experimenta el amor, el respeto mutuo y la solidaridad, la vida y la
alegría de la simbiosis como don divino. El esfuerzo común por implementar la
regla eclesiástica y la moral del ayuno en el contexto de la familia pone de
relieve el carácter carismático de la vida ascética y, más ampliamente, la
certeza de que todas las cosas verdaderas, modestas y justas de nuestra vida
vienen de arriba, que, a pesar de nuestra propia sinergia y contribución, al
final superan lo humanamente posible y las medidas humanas. Por otro lado,
la comunidad de vida, el amor hacia los otros que no busca su interés y el
perdón no dejan lugar a exigencia de los derechos y la autocomplacencia. Una
expresión de este espíritu de "libertad común" y de ascetismo
eucarístico es la conexión inseparable del ayuno, la filantropía y la
participación en la vida parroquial y litúrgica de la
Iglesia. Experimentar el "clima cuaresmal" en la familia
cristiana conduce a la profundidad de la verdad de la experiencia eclesiástica
y es cuna y punto de partida del testimonio cristiano en la sociedad moderna
secularizada.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

atravesemos todos la etapa de la Santa y Gran Cuaresma con celo divino en el
ayuno y el arrepentimiento, en la oración y la compunción, haciendo las paces
con nosotros mismos y con los demás, compartiendo la vida, mostrándonos
"prójimos" de los necesitados de obras de filantropía, perdonándonos
mutuamente y glorificando en todo el nombre celestial del Dios de misericordia,
pidiéndole que nos conceda llegar con la mente purificada a la Semana Santa y
Grande y adorar con gozo y exultar en Su gloriosa Resurrección.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Κατά τήν θεοσκέπαστον Ἁγίαν καί Μεγάλην Τεσσαρακοστήν, ἀποκαλύπτεται ἡ καθοριστική διά τήν πνευματικήν ζωήν τοῦ πιστοῦ σημασία τῆς μετοχῆς εἰς τήν ζωήν τῆς κοινότητος, εἰς τήν χριστιανικήν οἰκογένειαν καί τήν ἐνορίαν ἤ, ἀντιστοίχως, εἰς τό μοναστικόν κοινόβιον. Ἐπιθυμοῦμεν νά ἐξάρωμεν τήν λειτουργίαν τῆς χριστιανικῆς οἰκογενείας ὡς κοινότητος ζωῆς διά τήν βίωσιν τῆς πνευματικότητος τῆς Μεγάλης Τεσσαρακοστῆς. Ὁ ἐν Ἁγίοις προκάτοχος τῆς ἡμῶν Μετριότητος Ἰωάννης ὁ Χρυσόστομος ἀπεκάλεσε τήν οἰκογένειαν «Ἐκκλησίαν μικράν»[4]. Ὄντως, εἰς τήν οἰκογένειαν συντελεῖται ἐκκλησιοποίησις τῆς ὑπάρξεώς μας, ἀναπτύσσεται ἡ αἴσθησις τοῦ κοινωνικοῦ καί κοινοτικοῦ χαρακτῆρος τοῦ ἀνθρωπίνου βίου καί τῆς ἐν Χριστῷ ζωῆς, ἡ ἀγάπη, ὁ ἀλληλοσεβασμός καί ἡ ἀλληλεγγύη, βιοῦνται ἡ ζωή καί ἡ χαρά τῆς συμβιώσεως ὡς θεία δωρεά. Ἡ κοινή προσπάθεια ἐφαρμογῆς τοῦ ἐκκλησιαστικοῦ κανόνος καί τοῦ ἤθους τῆς νηστείας ἐν τῷ πλαισίῳ τῆς οἰκογενείας, ἀναδεικνύει τόν χαρισματικόν χαρακτῆρα τῆς ἀσκητικῆς βιοτῆς καί, εὐρύτερον, τήν βεβαιότητα ὅτι ὅλα τά ἀληθῆ, τά σεμνά καί τά δίκαια εἰς τήν ζωήν μας προέρχονται ἄνωθεν, ὅτι, παρά τήν ἰδικήν μας συνεργίαν καί συμβολήν, ὑπερβαίνουν, ἐν τέλει, τό ἀνθρωπίνως ἐφικτόν καί τά ἀνθρώπινα μέτρα. Ἐξ ἄλλου, ἡ κοινότης τοῦ βίου, ἡ οὐ ζητοῦσα τά ἑαυτῆς πρός ἀλλήλους ἀγάπη καί ἡ συγχωρητικότης δέν ἀφήνουν χῶρον εἰς τόν δικαιωματισμόν καί τήν αὐταρέσκειαν. Ἔκφρασιν αὐτοῦ τοῦ πνεύματος «κοινῆς ἐλευθερίας» καί εὐχαριστιακοῦ ἀσκητισμοῦ ἀποτελεῖ ἡ ἀδιάσπαστος σύνδεσις νηστείας, φιλανθρωπίας καί μετοχῆς εἰς τήν ἐνοριακήν καί λειτουργικήν ζωήν τῆς Ἐκκλησίας. Ἡ βίωσις τοῦ «σαρακοστιανοῦ κλίματος» εἰς τήν χριστιανικήν οἰκογένειαν ὁδηγεῖ εἰς τό βάθος τῆς ἀληθείας τῆς ἐκκλησιαστικῆς ἐμπειρίας καί ἀποτελεῖ κοιτίδα καί ἀφετηρίαν χριστιανικῆς μαρτυρίας εἰς τήν ἐκκοσμικευμένην σύγχρονον κοινωνίαν.</p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; opacity: 1; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out 0s; visibility: visible;">Εὔχεσθε, ἀδελφοί καί τέκνα, νά διατρέξωμεν ἅπαντες μέ ἔνθεον ζῆλον τό στάδιον τῆς Ἁγίας καί Μεγάλης Τεσσαρακοστῆς ἐν νηστείᾳ καί μετανοίᾳ, ἐν προσευχῇ καί κατανύξει, εἰρηνεύοντες ἐν ἑαυτοῖς καί μετ᾿ ἀλλήλων, κοινωνοῦντες τήν ζωήν, ἀναδεικνυόμενοι «πλησίον» τῶν ἐν ἀνάγκαις ἐν ἔργοις φιλανθρώποις, συγχωροῦντες ἀλλήλοις καί δοξολογοῦντες ἐν παντί τό ὑπερουράνιον ὄνομα τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ ἐλέους, δεόμενοι Αὐτοῦ ὅπως εὐδοκήσῃ νά φθάσωμεν κεκαθαρμέναις διανοίαις τήν Ἁγίαν καί Μεγάλην Ἑβδομάδα καί νά προσκυνήσωμεν ἐν χαρᾷ καί ἀγαλλιάσει τήν λαμπροφόρον Ἀνάστασίν Του.<span class="Apple-converted-space" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"> </span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; opacity: 1; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out 0s; visibility: visible;">Ἁγία καί Μεγάλη Τεσσαρακοστή ͵βκδʹ</p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; opacity: 1; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out 0s; visibility: visible;">† Ὁ Κωνσταντινουπόλεως</p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; opacity: 1; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out 0s; visibility: visible;">διάπυρος πρός Θεόν εὐχέτης πάντων ὑμῶν</p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; opacity: 1; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out 0s; visibility: visible;">__________</p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; opacity: 1; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out 0s; visibility: visible;">1.

pastoral presence (January-March 2024)</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "GFS Didot"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The new salutary year 2024, which for our Metropolis is the beginning of
a new twenty years period and more, began with the completion of the feasts of
the Holy Twelve Days and the pastoral presences of His Eminence throughout
Iberia.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "GFS Didot"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Specifically, beginning with the Feast of the Epiphany, His Eminence,
after the conclusion of the Divine Liturgy in the Orthodox Cathedral of Madrid,
ordained the Reverend f. Igor Kmetyk to the title of Protopresbyter, who
assumed the difficult duties of the Secretary of the Holy Metropolis.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "GFS Didot"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">On Sunday, January 14, on the completion of three years since his
election, he co-celebrated the Divine Liturgy along with the Most Reverend
Bishop of Comana Michael, exarch of our Ecumenical Patriarchate in Kiev and
head of the St. Andrew's Stavopigion in Kiev. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "GFS Didot"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Then, on 21 January he calabrated the divine Liturgy in the parish of
St. Nektarios in Barcelona, on 28 January in the parish of St. Andrew in Viana
do Castelo (Portugal) and on 03 March in the parish of St. Nicholas in Alicante
(Spain), thus witnessing the work and zeal of our good priests and the growing
faith of the multi-ethnic flock of our Metropolis, consisting as it is known,
of Greeks, Spanish, Portuguese, Bulgarians, Ukrainians, Russians, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "GFS Didot"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">His Eminence was present, at the beginning of the Week of Prayer for the
Unity of Christians (22-28 January), at the Cathedral of Saint Eulalia in
Barcelona and at the end of the week at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Almudena
in Madrid.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "GFS Didot"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">On Saturday, February 17, His Eminence, in the spirit of the inter-Christian
dialogue and the love that the Mother Church of Constantinople has always
advocated, and at the very honorable invitation of His Eminence the Bishop and
Prefect of the Anglican Church of Portugal (Igreja Lusitana) (Anglican
Communion), Mr. José Jorge Tavares de Pina Cabral, attended prayerfully the
solemn inaugural Mass on the occasion of the celebration of the 100th Synod of
that Church. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "GFS Didot"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The Mass took place in the Anglican Cathedral of St. Paul's in Lisbon
and was attended by His Grace the Primate of the Anglican Communion, the
Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Justin Welby, who also preached the Divine Word.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "GFS Didot"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The whole devotional event was graciously graced by the H.E. the
President of the Portuguese Republic Marcelo Nuno Duarte Rebelo de Sousa.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "GFS Didot"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Before and after the Divine Liturgy, his Eminence had a long and cordial
conversation with the Archbishop of Canterburry as well as with the bishop,
conveying the blessings and love of His All Holiness the Ecumenical Patriarch
Bartholomew, thus confirming the mutual love and relationship between the two
Churches.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "GFS Didot"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It is worth noting that the Divine Liturgy was broadcasted directly by
the Portuguese national television network.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "GFS Didot"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">On Thursday 14 March, His Eminence, accompanied by his Chancellor f.
Theofylactos Vitsos, had a long meeting of acquaintance and collaboration with
the new Archbishop Patriarch of Lisbon D. Rui Manuel Sousa Valério at his
episcopal residence and then with His Eminence Archbishop Ivo Scapolo, the
Apostolic Nuncio in Portugal.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "GFS Didot"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">During the two meetings, His Eminence duly thanked the Roman Catholic
Church in Portugal for its assistance and for providing places of worship for
the majority of Orthodox parishes in the country.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "GFS Didot"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">They exchanged views on ecclesiastical matters, as well as wishes for
the upcoming Easter of our Roman Catholic brothers and sisters and also for the
beginning of the Holy and Great Lent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p><br /></span></span></div>arch.idhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14305069730371281643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6605490013288782254.post-21634026193484209412024-03-15T14:09:00.003+01:002024-03-15T14:09:45.314+01:00Εθνική εορτή της Ελλάδος στην Λισσαβώνα <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSzFqmL6FJZ0031pTEXx5e8pTUB_-ye61HxsSD2GEp1M6NoEQBTQYztHlz9rLvA6ZWFgvt-GwRa_n2GO6t2L-SqaNn2SBdzFDMbUo4pZu11h9Xw2D21SbFUTocEJWlOjCqPSAe8NM5MloGSI3iurIJhZ80dKUYSyYTI5uBRCJKPr3nC9e-SUVWQzaROSk/s1350/M25L%202024.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSzFqmL6FJZ0031pTEXx5e8pTUB_-ye61HxsSD2GEp1M6NoEQBTQYztHlz9rLvA6ZWFgvt-GwRa_n2GO6t2L-SqaNn2SBdzFDMbUo4pZu11h9Xw2D21SbFUTocEJWlOjCqPSAe8NM5MloGSI3iurIJhZ80dKUYSyYTI5uBRCJKPr3nC9e-SUVWQzaROSk/w320-h400/M25L%202024.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>arch.idhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14305069730371281643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6605490013288782254.post-65692475784619586722024-03-15T14:08:00.003+01:002024-03-15T14:08:42.753+01:00Εθνική εορτή της Ελλάδος στην Μαδρίτη <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb50rJz9b1VV6xeJiFF6_FjXpci7ILRHFbsC3DOwrrB9zSneHSwOlbpQ9qHF71GYhf1wy84N4CQpP3pb_KS7fE2L49IpjhYth8gdsCwLiucyvc6aFrqbCWt_zDHk6pC6-KM_Z5pjpXHs47qnV9EQPKNAW2GWRvuPp0FXaBXHgSbxctpUgvtwvUnzkX9Z0/s1350/M25%CE%9C%202024.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb50rJz9b1VV6xeJiFF6_FjXpci7ILRHFbsC3DOwrrB9zSneHSwOlbpQ9qHF71GYhf1wy84N4CQpP3pb_KS7fE2L49IpjhYth8gdsCwLiucyvc6aFrqbCWt_zDHk6pC6-KM_Z5pjpXHs47qnV9EQPKNAW2GWRvuPp0FXaBXHgSbxctpUgvtwvUnzkX9Z0/w320-h400/M25%CE%9C%202024.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>arch.idhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14305069730371281643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6605490013288782254.post-70760477434511071982024-01-05T22:34:00.003+01:002024-02-23T12:42:57.096+01:00Επεφάνης σήμερον<p><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1qJAmNOiU3oJI3sk-Gcmx45mB3gcj4u12&export=download" width="300" height="300" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; transform: rotate(0deg);"></p>arch.idhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14305069730371281643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6605490013288782254.post-62344446763449486502024-01-05T14:36:00.005+01:002024-01-05T14:37:08.422+01:00Θεοφάνεια στην Λισσαβώνα | Theophany in Lisbon <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY6WVOo7OO6FQaq6tUb6Puc0ER9ZzxY9IOpDVQBx5_nuoGVOyej1LTtOMv_LRS9y3u1Q88QGpZDCICoQyEIGCbt_nt9CrDeOKRGHhi6-gfccFgDLj2-se3xqNwJQ2hQcxsQYjCoS9tOqTo7BSe9tfpubcsCZ6lI0UsbqLdvRIRKLnYSuGldPq-2FN2ajE/s2362/%CE%9B%CE%99%CE%A3%20%CE%98%CE%95%CE%9F%CE%A6%2024.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2362" data-original-width="1654" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY6WVOo7OO6FQaq6tUb6Puc0ER9ZzxY9IOpDVQBx5_nuoGVOyej1LTtOMv_LRS9y3u1Q88QGpZDCICoQyEIGCbt_nt9CrDeOKRGHhi6-gfccFgDLj2-se3xqNwJQ2hQcxsQYjCoS9tOqTo7BSe9tfpubcsCZ6lI0UsbqLdvRIRKLnYSuGldPq-2FN2ajE/w280-h400/%CE%9B%CE%99%CE%A3%20%CE%98%CE%95%CE%9F%CE%A6%2024.jpg" width="280" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>arch.idhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14305069730371281643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6605490013288782254.post-71562566406383249612023-12-31T22:05:00.007+01:002023-12-31T22:19:27.509+01:00Μήνυμα Σεβασμιωτάτου | Mensaje del S.E.R.

Ιερά Μητρόπολίς μας, αποχαιρετά το 2023 συμπληρώνοντας με αυτόν τον τρόπο την
πρώτη εικοσαετία της ζωής της, έχοντας ζήσει την αφάνταστη και μοναδική ευλογία
της επισκέψεως του πνευματικού μας πατρός, του πνευματικού πατρός όλης της
Ορθοδόξου Εκκλησίας, του Παναγιωτάτου Οικουμενικού Πατριάρχου κ. Βαρθολομαίου στην
έδρα της Μητρόπολής μας στην Ισπανία, στην Μαδρίτη και την Σαλαμάνκα.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: BosporosU;">Ο
ερχομός του Παναγιωτάτου έδωσε ένα καινούργιο έναυσμα για την συνέχιση της
μαρτυρίας της Ιεράς μας Μητρόπολης μέσα στην Ισπανία και την Πορτογαλία, μέσα
στην Ιβηρική χερσόνησο. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: BosporosU;">Μνημονεύουμε
εν ευγνωμοσύνη και ευχαριστία προς τον Κύριό μας του ονόματος του μακαριστού
μητροπολίτου Γαλλίας κυρού Μελετίου Καραμπίνη (1963-1988, +1993) ο οποίος προ
πεντηκονταετίας είχε τον φωτισμό από τον Θεό ώστε να διοργανώσει την πρώτη
ορθόδοξη ενορία στην Μαδρίτη χτίζοντας τον όμορφο βυζαντινού ρυθμού ναό μας των
Αγίων Ανδρέου και Δημητρίου, ο οποίος μετά, με την πρόνοια του Θεού, βρέθηκε να
είναι ο καινούργιος μητροπολιτικός και καθεδρικός ναός της νέας Μητροπόλεώς
μας.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: BosporosU;">Μνημονεύουμε
του ονόματος του μακαριστού κυρού Επιφανίου Περιάλα (2003-2007, +2010 ως
μητροπολίτης Βρυούλων) πρώτου ποιμενάρχου της μητροπόλεώς μας. Μνημονεύουμε
ευγνωμόνως του αμέσου προκατόχου μας Σεβασμιωτάτου Μητροπολίτου Ιταλίας κ.
Πολυκάρπου (2007-2021), ο οποίος σε συνέχεια με τον προκάτοχό του κυρό Επιφάνιο
μόχθησε για την μαρτυρία της Μητροπόλεώς μας.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: BosporosU;">Ζητούμε
τις ευχές όλων των αγίων της Ιβηρικής χερσονήσου, πρωτίστως δε του Αγίου
Αποστόλου Ιακώβου του Ζεβεδαίου, προστάτου όλης της Ιβηρικής χερσονήσου, των
Αγίων Αποστόλου Ανδρέου του Πρωτοκλήτου και Μεγαλομάρτυρος Δημητρίου του
Μυροβλύτου και πάνω απ’ όλα της Κυρίας Θεοτόκου, της Παναγίας μας, ώστε η
μαρτυρία της Ιεράς μας Μητρόπολής, της Ορθοδοξίας στην Ισπανία, την Πορτογαλία
και στο σύνολο της επικράτειας της Ιβηρικής χερσονήσου να συνεχίσει και την

mso-ansi-language: ES;">Nuestra Sacra Metrópolis se despide del 2023,
cumpliendo las dos primeras décadas de su existencia y habiendo vivido la
increíble y singular bendición de la visita de nuestro padre espiritual, del
padre espiritual de toda la Iglesia Ortodoxa, Su Toda Santidad el Patriarca
Ecuménico Bartolomé, a la sede de nuestra Metrópolis en España, en Madrid y en
Salamanca.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="ES" style="font-family: BosporosU; mso-ansi-language: ES;">La llegada de Su Toda Santidad marcó un nuevo
impulso para la continuación del testimonio de nuestra Sacra Metrópolis en
España y Portugal, y en la Península Ibérica en su conjunto.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="ES" style="font-family: BosporosU; mso-ansi-language: ES;">Con gratitud y agradecimiento a nuestro Señor,
conmemoramos al Metropolitano de Francia Meletios Karabinis (1963-1988, +1993),
quien, hace cincuenta años, recibió la inspiración de Dios para organizar la
primera parroquia ortodoxa en Madrid, construyendo la hermosa iglesia de estilo
bizantino de los Santos Andrés y Demetrio, la cual, por la providencia de Dios,
se convertiría más tarde en la iglesia metropolitana y catedral de nuestra
recién fundada Metrópolis.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="ES" style="font-family: BosporosU; mso-ansi-language: ES;">También conmemoramos a Epifanio Perialas
(2003-2007, +2010 como Metropolitano de Bryoula), el primer pastor de nuestra
Metrópolis. Con gratitud, conmemoramos a nuestro predecesor inmediato, Su
Eminencia el Metropolitano Policarpo de Italia (2007-2021), quien, siguiendo
los pasos de su predecesor Epifanio, trabajó incesantemente para hacer visible
el testimonio de nuestra Metrópolis.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="ES" style="font-family: BosporosU; mso-ansi-language: ES;">Rogamos las oraciones de todos los santos de la
Península Ibérica, especialmente del Santo Apóstol Santiago de Zebedeo, el
santo patrón de la Península Ibérica, del Santo Apóstol Andrés el Primer
Llamado y del Gran Mártir Demetrio el Miroblita, y sobre todo, de Nuestra
Señora Madre de Dios, nuestra Panagia, para que el testimonio de nuestra Santa
Metrópolis, de la Ortodoxia en España, Portugal y en todo el territorio de la
Península Ibérica, continúe en las próximas dos décadas y en el siglo venidero
con la gracia de Dios.</span></p>

first two decades of its existence and having experienced the incredible and
unique blessing of the visit of our spiritual father, the spiritual father of
the entire Orthodox Church, His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew,
to the seat of our Metropolis in Spain, in Madrid and Salamanca.<o:p></o:p></span></p><span style="font-family: BosporosU;"></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: BosporosU; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The coming of His All-Holiness provided a new impetus for the

Metropolitan of France Meletios Karabinis (1963-1988, +1993), who, fifty years
ago, received the inspiration from God to organize the first Orthodox parish in
Madrid, building the beautiful Byzantine-style church of Saints Andrew and
Demetrius, which later, through God’s providence, became the metropolitan and
cathedral church of our newly founded Metropolis.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: BosporosU; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">We also commemorate the late Epiphanios Perialas (2003-2007, +2010 as
Metropolitan of Bryoula), the first shepherd of our Metropolis. Gratefully, we
commemorate our immediate predecessor, His Eminence Metropolitan Polykarpos of
Italy (2007-2021), who, following in the footsteps of his predecessor Epiphanios,
labored for the witness of our Metropolis.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: BosporosU; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">We seek the prayers of all the saints of the Iberian Peninsula,
especially Saint Apostle James the Zebedee, the patron saint of the Iberian
Peninsula, the Holy Apostle Andrew the First-Called, and the Great Martyr
Demetrius the Myroblyte, and above all, our Lady Theotokos, our Panagia, so
that the witness of our Holy Metropolis, of Orthodoxy in Spain, Portugal and
throughout the territory of the Iberian Peninsula, may continue with God’s
grace in the next two decades and in the ages to come.</span></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span lang="ES" style="font-family: BosporosU; mso-ansi-language: ES;">The Metropolitan,</span></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span lang="ES" style="font-family: BosporosU; mso-ansi-language: ES;">

За словами св. Миколая Кавасили, те, що відбувається в Божественній Літургії, є «містагогією втілення Господа», тоді як її вступне виголос «Благословенне Царство Отця, і Сина, і Святого Духа» є доказом, «що саме через Втілення Господа люди вперше дізналися, що Бог є трьома особами»[1]. Той самий святий Отець проголошує, що наш Господь і Спаситель Ісус Христос був першим і єдиним, «хто продемонстрував автентичну і досконалу людську істоту щодо Свого етосу, життя та всього іншого»[2].</p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; opacity: 1; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out 0s; visibility: visible;">Прийняття людської природи в особі Сина і Слова Божого разом із відкриттям шляху обожнення людини через благодать додають людству неперевершену цінність. Забуття цієї істини веде до зменшення поваги до людської особистості. Заперечення найвищого призначення людей не тільки звільняє їх, але й призводить до різноманітних скорочень і поділів. Не усвідомлюючи свого божественного походження та своєї надії на вічність, люди борються за те, щоб залишатися людьми, і не в змозі впоратися з протиріччями «людського стану».</p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; opacity: 1; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out 0s; visibility: visible;">Християнське сприйняття людського існування дає розв’язання проблем, створених насильством, війною та несправедливістю в нашому світі. Повага до людської особи, мир і справедливість є дарами від Бога; однак встановлення миру, який походить від Христа, вимагає участі та співпраці людей. Християнський погляд на боротьбу за мир полягає у словах Христа Спасителя, який проголошує мир, звертаючись до Своїх учнів із привітанням «Мир вам» і заохочуючи любити ворогів[3]. Одкровення у Христі називається «Євангелієм миру»<span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 10px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"> </span></span>[4].</p></div><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; opacity: 1; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out 0s; visibility: visible;">Це означає, що для нас, християн, шлях до миру лежить через мир і що ненасильство, діалог, любов, прощення та примирення мають пріоритет перед іншими формами вирішення розбіжностей. Богослов’я миру чітко описане в документі Вселенського Патріархату <i style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">За життя світу: На шляху до соціального етосу Православної Церкви</i> (2020):</p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; opacity: 1; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out 0s; visibility: visible;">«Ніщо так не суперечить волі Бога щодо істот, створених за Його образом і подобою, як насильство людини над людиною… Зрештою, можна справедливо стверджувати, що насильство – це гріх par excellence. Воно цілковито суперечить нашій створеній природі й надприродному покликанню шукати союзу любові з Богом і ближнім… Радше це – справжнє розкриття глибинної реальності творіння, яким його бажає Бог і яким Він його замислив у Своїй передвічній раді»[5].</p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; opacity: 1; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out 0s; visibility: visible;">Мир не можна сприймати як належне; це не є самоочевидним. Це обов’язок, досягнення і невпинна боротьба за його збереження. Немає автоматичних рішень чи постійних рецептів. Перед обличчям постійних загроз миру ми повинні бути пильними та готовими вирішувати проблеми шляхом діалогу. Великі герої політики є поборниками миру. Щодо нас, то ми продовжуємо підкреслювати миротворчу роль релігії. Це час, коли релігії критикують за плекання фанатизму та насильства «в ім’я Бога» замість того, щоб бути силами миру, солідарності та примирення. Однак це свідчить про відчуження релігійної віри, а не про її невід’ємну частину. Справжня віра в Бога є найсуворішим критиком релігійного фанатизму.

Права людини, центром уваги яких є захист людської гідності з її індивідуальними, соціальними, культурними, економічними та екологічними умовами, розуміються лише в їхній початковій динаміці, якщо вони визнаються основою та критерієм глобального миру, пов’язуючи його зі свободою і справедливістю.

Крім того, нагадуємо всім вам, браття та чада, що Різдво є часом самоусвідомлення та подяки, відкриття різниці між Боголюдиною та «людиною-Богом», усвідомлення «великого чуда» свободи у Христі та зцілення «великої рани» відчуження від Бога. Нарешті, ми шанобливо схиляємо коліна перед Марією, Матір’ю Божою, яка несе на руках воплочене Слово, і передаємо вам благословення Матері Святої Великої Церкви Христової, бажаючи вам благодатного, здорового, плідного, мирного і радісного нового року Господньої благості.</p><p style="background-color: white;

According to St. Nicholas Cabasilas, what occurs in the Divine Liturgy is “the mystagogy of the Lord’s incarnation,” while its introductory acclamation “Blessed is the Kingdom of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit” is evidence “that it is through the Lord’s incarnation that people first learned that God is three persons.”[1] The same saintly Father proclaims that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was the first and only to demonstrate the authentic and perfect human being, concerning His ethos, life, and everything else.”[2]</p><div><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; opacity: 1; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out 0s; visibility: visible;">The assumption of human nature in the person of the Son and Word of God, along with the opening of the way of human deification through grace, add unsurpassable value to humankind. Forgetting this truth leads to the diminishment of respect for the human person. The denial of the supreme destiny of human beings does not only liberate them, but also leads to diverse reductions and divisions. Without being conscious of their divine origin and their hope for eternity, humans struggle to remain human and are unable to handle the contradictions of the “human condition.”</p></div><div><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; opacity: 1; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out 0s; visibility: visible;">The Christian perception of human existence provides a solution to problems created by violence, war, and injustice in our world. Respect for the human person, peace, and justice are gifts from God; however, establishing the peace that comes from Christ demands the participation and cooperation of human beings. The Christian view on the struggle for peace lies in the words of Christ our Savior, who proclaims peace, addressing His disciples with the greeting “Peace be with you” and encouraging us to love our enemies [3]. The revelation in Christ is called the “gospel of peace.”[4]</p></div><div><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; opacity: 1; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out 0s; visibility: visible;">This means that, for us Christians, the way to peace is through peace and that non-violence, dialogue, love, forgiveness, and reconciliation have priority before other forms of resolving differences. The theology of peace is clearly described in the Ecumenical Patriarchate’s document <i style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">For the Life of the World: Toward a Social Ethos of the Orthodox Church</i> (2020):</p></div><div><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; opacity: 1; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out 0s; visibility: visible;">“Nothing is more contrary to God’s will for His creatures fashioned in His image and likeness than violence one against another . . .

It is the perfect contradiction of our created nature and our supernatural vocation to seek union in love with God and our neighbour. . . Peace is a real revelation of the still deeper reality of creation as God intends it and as God fashioned it in his eternal counsels.”[5]</p></div><div><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; opacity: 1; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out 0s; visibility: visible;">Peace cannot be taken for granted; it is not self-evident. It is an obligation, an achievement, and an incessant struggle to preserve it. There are no automatic solutions or permanent recipes. In the face of ongoing threats to peace, we need to have vigilance and willingness to resolve problems through dialogue. The great heroes of politics are the champions of peace. As for us, we continue to underline the peacemaking role of religion. This is during a time when religions are criticized for nurturing fanaticism and violence “in the name of God” instead of being forces of peace, solidarity, and reconciliation. However, this indicates an alienation of religious faith and not an integral part of it. Genuine faith in God is the harshest critic of religious fanaticism. Religions are the natural allies of all human beings who strive for peace, justice, and the preservation of creation from human destruction.</p></div><div><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; opacity: 1; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out 0s; visibility: visible;">This year, the world honours the 75<span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 10px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;">th</span> anniversary of the <i style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Universal Declaration of Human Rights</i> (December 10, 1948), constituting a summary of fundamental humanitarian ideals and values, “the shared standard, to which all peoples and all nations should aim.” Human rights, whose central point of focus includes the protection of human dignity with its individual, social, cultural, economic, and ecological conditions, are only understood in their original dynamics if they are acknowledged as the basis and criterion of global peace, associating it with freedom and justice. In this sense, the future of human rights and peace is also linked to the contribution of religions in the matter of respecting them and making them a reality.</p></div><div><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; opacity: 1; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out 0s; visibility: visible;">With these thoughts and festive sentiments, in full conviction that the life of the Church in itself comprises resistance against inhumanity, wherever such inhumanity arises, we invite all of you to the good fight of constructing a culture of peace and solidarity, where people will see in the face of their fellow human beings a brother or sister and a friend, rather than a threat and enemy. Moreover, we remind you all, dear brother Hierarchs and children, that Christmas is a time of self-consciousness and thanksgiving, of the revelation of the difference between the God-man and “man-god,” of the realization of the “great miracle” of freedom in Christ and of the healing of the “great wound” of alienation from God. Finally, we kneel respectfully before Mary, the Mother of God, who bears in her arms the incarnate Word, and we convey to you the blessing of the Mother Holy Great Church of Christ, wishing you an auspicious, healthy, fruitful, peaceful, and joyous new year of the Lord’s favour.</p></div><div><p style="background-color: white;

Πρόκειται γιά τήν τέλεια ἀντίθεση μεταξύ τῆς κτιστῆς μας φύσης καί τῆς ὑπερφυσικῆς μας κλήσης πρός ἀναζήτηση τῆς ἀγαπητικῆς ἕνωσης μέ τόν Θεό καί τόν πλησίον μας… Ἡ εἰρήνη ἀποτελεῖ μία πραγματική ἀποκάλυψη τῆς βαθύτερης πραγματικότητας τῆς δημιουρ-γίας σύμφωνα πρός τό θέλημα τοῦ Θεοῦ, καί τῆς μορφῆς ὅπως τήν σχεδίασε Ἐκεῖνος κατά τίς αἰώνιες βουλές Του»[5].</p><div><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; opacity: 1; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out 0s; visibility: visible;">Ἡ εἰρήνη δέν εἶναι δεδομένη καί αὐτονόητος, ἀλλά χρέος, κατόρθωμα, διαρκής μέριμνα καί ἀδιάκοπος ἀγών διά τήν διατήρησίν της. Δέν ὑπάρχουν αὐτοματισμοί καί μόνιμοι συνταγαί. Ἀπέναντι εἰς τάς ἑκάστοτε ἀπειλάς τῆς εἰρήνης ἀπαιτεῖται ἐγρήγορσις, βούλησις διά λύσιν τῶν προβλημάτων διά μέσου τοῦ διαλόγου.
