Christmas 2010
“Today
the Most Rich One became poor for our sake; let the rich man invite the poor to
his table! Today we received a gift which we did not ask for; let us bestow
alms to those who cry out to us and beg.”
(Saint Ephraim the Syrian on the
Eve of the Nativity)
National President Aphrodite Skeadas reminds us all,
“We commemorate and celebrate the most important event in history as The Nativity provides reason and hope for our existence. It is the love of God our Father that pierced the darkness of hopelessness that sacred night. It is our Philoptochos ministry that pierces the despair of the infirmed and suffering by offering agape and compassion.”
