The first moments of 1 January 2017 found us praying in our church in Déva !!! On this beautiful day , The main feast of The Blessed Virgin, Mother of God and we prayed that nobody is ever left orphaned in every sense of the word!!

I greet  all  of my beloved brethren with the official text from our Church  in the new year, 

Father Csaba 

translated by dr k.e.

Our God , You who, presented the world , by the virgin birth of Mary with eternal salvation. Please let us be aware of the intercession of the Mother of God , as we received Your Son, the One who obtained life for us through Her. Who lives and reigns with You in unity with the Holy Spirit , one God for ever and ever Amen. 

Sunday 1 January 2017   New Year’s Day. 

Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God.

The shepherds went in haste to Bethlehem and found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger.

When they saw this, they made known the message  that had been told them about this child.

All who heard it were amazed by what had been told them by the shepherds.

And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart.

Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, just as it had been told to them.

When eight days were completed for his circumcision, he was named Jesus, the name given him by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

Luke 2, 16-21
