Tribute to the feast of the Annunciation – “The minimum wage of our lady”

Writes Paul ΣαββίδηςΘεολόγος ΚαθηγητήςΜέσα the bright double feast of March… of physical freedom from the barbaric and unbearable Turkish yoke, and of the intellectual from the curse of sin and the tyranny of the devil, apart from it always going to be dominated by the most hallowed form of the Blessed our Virgin mary.
On the feast of the Annunciation, we dedicate humbly to the three excellent Tens that have changed the face of the earth, and of our personal history. To be timely, the opportunity to deepen and to reflect on the big events, we should get holy decisions…
The first Ten, i.e., the 10 words, which is carried by the Archangel Gabriel to the humble daughter of Nazareth, Mary, with the touching salutation : “Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed thou thou among women”. Is the message of the Triune God, that the υπέραγνο face of the Virgin mary will host in the bowels of the second person of the Holy Trinity, Jesus Christ, and how that would reconcile God with man. Will start a new love relationship and society. The skies will be open for the human race. That the love hasn’t forgotten us. Not ceased to desire the redemption, our salvation, he gave us grace and amnesty. And all because of a humble Virgin, in the stench of years of those, “pulled” on top of the loving eyes of God.
The second Ten belongs to the same our Lady! After overcoming hesitations and doubts, he said that the unique, unrepeatable and of our lord, “yes.” “Behold the handmaid of the Lord γένοιτό me according to thy word”. I accept to be the Mother of the Redeemer at any cost. This is why they waited anxious all the generations of people, and we! From this reason, the countdown begins. We entered dynamically in the orbit of salvation. The obedience reversed the disobedience of Eve with all the suffering that we inherited, and our donated ανεπίστροφα all the blessings, so richly we enjoy today.
The third of the Ten belongs to us, the members of the Orthodox Church of Christ. In each Article we hear the exhortation of the Priest: “The Theotokos and Mother of Light in ύμνοις τιμώντες μεγαλύνωμεν”. So it is about time to see what we our obligations to the humanly holiest person. These δίσεχτες days, we are experiencing painful economic crises, and not only, in addition to the hymns and the “Requests”, let’s support the hopes, the teenage dreams of the endless affection and love. In her mother’s embrace would feel the coolness, you’ll find the warm embrace, sure of security and certainty. To resort in civilian protection for our Country, the roof of for our family, for any personal or general pain, to soothe the broken souls of us. To keep αδούλωτο our national morale, αμώμητη the orthodox faith and to radiate virtue and holiness around us, from the endless splendour.
