2020 NEW YEAR’S ENCYCLICAL “The fields thirst for water and the mountains for snow. The slave, she thirsts for freedom for so many years” (popular song). Our poor soul thirsts for the light of the God-Man. The year 2019 is over. Let us take a look at what happened. Unfortunately, the picture is not very encouraging. Wars. Disorder. Poverty. Troubles. Refuges drowning in the sea. They are trying to find a better life. Do they achieve this? Not always. Blood was spilled abundantly. Terrorists with knives slit the throats of the innocent.

Because it’s true that the world won’t find peace unless each of us finds our own peace, one by one, opening up to and welcoming God’ grace. God isn’t outside the world ...
In the passage 1, 25 in the Gospel according to Saint Matthew… ‘but he knew her not until she had given birth to a son’ many Protestant and other heretical interpreters consider the Greek εως ου to be a time limit, after which the married life of Joseph and Our Lady began. From these conjugal relations, they believe, were born siblings of Christ, or at least some of the siblings referred to in the Gospels. But, from a grammatical point of view, this interpretation is not necessarily correct, since the temporal conjunction εως is often used not to demote a time limit, but rather limitlessness within time. The passage is at the end of chapter 1 of the Gospel according to ...
