Christ is born! ☦️
In this profound Christmas homily, we reflect on the greatest gift of Christmas — not gold, frankincense, or myrrh, but the Spirit of Adoption by which we become sons and daughters of the Most High God.

Drawing from St. Paul, St. John Chrysostom, and the Byzantine Christian tradition, this sermon reveals how Christ’s Nativity transforms us from slaves into heirs — enabling us to call God “Abba, Father”. This is not reserved for saints alone, but for sinners, the unprepared, the weary, and the empty-handed.

We also uncover the true identity of the Magi — not mere astrologers, but powerful Middle Eastern king-makers who humbled themselves before the infant King. Their journey did not end at Bethlehem: according to ancient tradition, they later encountered St. Thomas the Apostle, were baptized, ordained, and became bishops of the early Church.

This homily speaks deeply to:

Anyone who feels spiritually unprepared

Those struggling with failure, fear, or unworthiness

Christians longing to understand theosis / divinization

Families celebrating the Nativity of Christ

Fear not. Come anyway.
Christ is born — and because of Him, we are children of God.
