We are all on our journey to God, together.

We are all on our journey to God, together

As we struggle in this life, it is good to remember that we are all journeying to God, together . We find our place of silence, where we encounter God, but even in this place set apart, we are together. In our journey to God, our common goal is the acquisition of a humble and a contrite heart. Our shared homeland is to be found in the Divine Liturgy, where we enter into the Heavenly Realm, and participate in the Eternal Banquet, together.

Even in our moments of loneliness and despondency, we are together. We are together in our celebration of life, and even in our death, we are together. Even though we seem so alone, we are together, for in Christ we are One Body, the Church.

It is together that we chant the words, "Glory to God for His loving kindness. Glory to Him forever". United, together, we await the Second 

Coming of Christ Our King and Our God, and it will be together that we dwell in the House of the Lord, worshipping the Holy Trinity, forever.

With love in Christ,

Abbot Tryphon
