Elias Damianakis @ArchonMaestor Dec 24 Day 40
Ikos 4. God’s coming in the flesh the Shepherds heard the angels praising. And hastening as to a shepherd, they see him as a spotless lamb being pastured in the womb of Mary. Praising her they said: Hail, mother of the lamb and shepherd, Hail, fold of spiritual sheep. Hail, defence — against unseen foes. Hail, key that opens — the doors of Paradise. Hail, for things in heaven — exult with earth, Hail, for things on earth — rejoice with heaven. Hail, never-silent — voice — of the Apostles, Hail, never-conquered — courage — of the Champions. Hail, firm — foundation of the Faith, Hail, shining — revelation of Grace. Hail, you through whom — Hell was stripped bare, Hail, you through whom — we were clothed with glory. Hail, Bride without bridegroom. Elias Damianakis @ArchonMaestor Dec 23 Day 39
"the Christmas Gospel is proclaimed a world where the noise of weapons in resorting to unprovoked violence against persons and peoples, and the prevailing inequality and social injustice. It is intolerable to see the status of countless child victims of military conflicts, the unnatural situations, of multiple exploitation, persecution and discrimination, as well as hunger, poverty and deprivation painful." -His All Holliness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew Elias Damianakis @ArchonMaestor Dec 22 Day 38

Religious freedom does not exist in isolation. It under-girds and is inseparably connected with all the other freedoms we cherish. As religious freedom goes, so go many other precious rights. Elias Damianakis @ArchonMaestor Dec 18 Day 34
the Church is not abolished, even when Christian nations are dissolved, even when the Church lives and exists in (sometimes harsh) captivity, even when the Church is persecuted. The Church is in the world and serves the world, but it is not controlled by the world

We are only free if we become a prosopon – to use the Greek word for ‘person', which means literally ‘face' or ‘countenance' – if we turn towards others, looking into their eyes and allowing them to look into ours. To turn away, to refuse to share, is to forfeit liberty. -His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew Elias Damianakis @ArchonMaestor Dec 3 Day 19

"...freedom is God’s greatest gift to man, it is that which sets man apart from all other creatures. Apostle Paul sent word to Christians: “You are called to freedom” (Galatians 5:13); “For freedom Christ has set us free; stand fast therefore” (Galatians 5:1); “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom” (2 Corinthians 3:17). But the same Apostle warned: “We have freedom in Jesus Christ” (Galatians 2:4)." Elias Damianakis @ArchonMaestor Nov 21 Day 7
