SĂRBĂTOAREA NAŞTERII DOMNULUI – BINECUVÂNTAREA FAMILIEI

THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY – A BLESSING OF THE FAMILY

† DANIEL

Patriarhul Bisericii Ortodoxe Române, Bucureşti

Abstract

The All-Powerful and Merciful Lord, He who made the Earth and the Heavens, descends from the Heaven onto Earth, into the humility of a child born not in the house of his parents, but on a journey, and not even in a guest house, but in a manger. The Son of God becomes Human, without a house, a stranger and a traveler on earth, for bringing into the house of the Heavenly Father the people estranged from Him. All humans, throughout their ephemeral lives, are in this world, travelers, seekers of rest into God, who made them for communion of life and eternal love of Him.

Key words: birth, Jesus the child, family, peace among people.

Cuvinte cheie: naşterea, pruncul Isus, familia, pace între oameni
