Divine Liturgy

Saturday September 21, 2019 / September 8, 2019

The Nativity of Our Most Holy Lady the Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary was celebrated at home-based chapel in Islamabad.

Fr. Paul told that the parents of the Ever-Virgin sorrowed long over their barrenness; they prayed long and fervently to the Lord that He loose this barrenness, which was considered a punishment from God for sins. They gave much alms in order to incline the mercy of the All-Merciful, endured the reproach of their countrymen, and through this sorrow and ceaseless prayer and good works, they gradually purified their spirits, and burned ever greater with love and dedication to God, thus being prepared by God’s Providence to give blessed birth to the Most Blessed Daughter, chosen out of all people to be the Mother of the Incarnate Word.
