At the Orthodox Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ, the Divine Liturgy for the Nativity of Christ was held.
The Holy Mass was led by the Archbishop of Tirana, Durrës and all Albania, His Beatitude Bishop Joani, along with clergy of the archdiocese.
During his speech, Bishop John said that only the presence of God can illuminate our hearts and souls and can give light and joy to our lives. He emphasized that the incarnation is the greatest gift that can be given to humanity.
"The Incarnation is the greatest gift that can be given to humanity. Christ strengthens and enlivens our nature and unites us with God, which a teacher or prophet can never do. Dear brothers and sisters! We must joyfully proclaim this good news and testify zealously and tirelessly that God now dwells among us.
It is the duty of every Christian to spread and share this light with the whole world, because only by sharing it with others can the light be preserved and grow, otherwise it will fade and eventually disappear. Now, more than ever, the world needs the light of Christ. It is necessary, because a life without the presence of God becomes miserable, turns into a life without love, without joy, without light: a life in darkness.
Only His presence can illuminate our hearts and souls and can give our lives light and joy. He is the light in our darkness and His teaching, says the psalmist, is a lamp for our journey through this life. To celebrate the Nativity of Christ spiritually, let us take care during these festive days to experience more deeply the holiness and greatness of this divine gift.
"We can achieve this by cleansing our hearts of all evil and filling them with love and humility towards all people, especially those in need in poverty, in illness, in despair and in loneliness. Merry Christmas and for many years to come ," he said.
