"Suddenly I stopped and asked myself, when have I ever truly thanked God for the many blessings in my life? It was then that I realised something had to change. I would either have to reject Him outright, deny that He existed and never think upon Him again, or find out who He really was. How I thank Him that His grace led me to the latter, for now I could nor more imagine living without Him than I could living without breath in my lungs. For knowing God and being known by Him is quite simply the most beautiful experience this life affords." ― Br. Giacomo

"For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given." — The Prophet Isaiah


The Cathedral Church of the Holy Trinity, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia (Photo: Ivan Smelov)

Handel's Messiah

"For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, to order it and establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this." (Isaiah 9: 6-7)

This prophecy by Isaiah speaks of the advent of our Lord Jesus Christ which the earth witnessed some two thousand years ago, and of His second coming when He will establish peace and justice throughout the earth. That time approaches ever more quickly.

'He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!' — St. John the Evangelist
