The Charity of God

Writes the Elder Alexios, Abbot of the Holy Monastery of Xenophon
God does not love anything more than the man…
This, I think, the message we can learn from the great feast of Christmas where we live these days.
All the holy Gospel of our speaking for the charity of God!
“So loved God the world, that his son the only begotten he gave, fiber that whosoever believeth in him non-απόληται, but have eternal life” (Jn. (c’ 16), proclaims the disciple of love and Evangelist John the Theologian.

All κοσμοσωτήριο work of the Saviour Jesus Christ seeks the salvation of man! The holy γέννησις, in the most humble circumstances, all the facts which followed in the path Of the times of επιγείου His presence, what more witness than the infinite of God’s charity!
“Anyone who went benefactors and ιώμενος all…”·). I, 38). The temptations, the mighty wonders, the concerns are addressed, where intended rather than to illuminate, to teach, to heal and to save man?
The work of the coming of Christ the Savior describes, inter alia, just and εκφαντικά the προεόρτιος hymn of our Church:
“Christ comes, the wicked one συντρίψαι, in darkness φωτίσαι, and λύσαι them that are bound” (προεόρτιον απόστιχον).
The great cause of man’s fall the devil, Christ comes to abolish and crush it with the power of love, the Cross and the Resurrection. The culmination of the divine charity, is evident from the manger to the Cross! So, crashing the state of the enemy and, in parallel, are illuminated the seated “in darkness and in the shadow of death” πλανηθέντες people, with the power of faith, of love and of hope, where He is the Christ, and abolished the bondage of sin with the grace of Pentecost when the promises of the Savior Christ fulfilled on the day of her with the Comforter, which αφθονοπάροχα is provided by means of the holy Church!
So how do we, partakers of the lot and άμετρο of God’s charity, not to celebrate his works and words the greatness of God?
How to not sing with the Angels χαρμονικώς the “Glory in the highest God and peace on earth, goodwill toward men”mean?
How to don’t rush mentally then of the shepherds and of the magi, pre-θεοδέγμονος the sacred cave, to worship him “in the cave born and in the manger ανακλιθέντα” Lord, who took the servant form for our salvation?
Reaching out with the ενανθρώπισι the Word of God, the great mystery of the infinity of God’s benevolence, let’s αποθέσουμε every selfish doubt, that attacks the φιλοθεΐα us, let’s φωτιστούμε from the divine love radiation, let’s free ourselves from the suffering the ties that break or ends of God συγκατάβασι, ταπείνωσι and sacrifice, to enjoy the freedom of God’s children, we donated the σαρκωθείς eternal Word.
Living in Christ’s freedom, πολιτευόμαστε with pious and kind spirit, experiences that refer to those who experienced the charity of the god-man Jesus Christ through the κένωσί and the elusive and saving the economy!
The new year of 2017, let’s be a year with more φιλοθεΐα and brotherly kindness.
