NEW YEAR MESSAGE 2012
My beloved,
It
is with great gratitude to ¡°the Creator and Lord of the Ages¡± that we welcome
today the New Year 2012. Each and every
New Year granted to us by the infinite love and ineffable charity of God is
indeed a golden opportunity to move forward spiritually. Now, at the beginning
of the New Year, we may resolve to make an excellent start. And there is no
better start and a stronger foundation to this new beginning than
humility.
We have already
celebrated the great Feast of Christmas. The pre-eternal God, out of extreme
humility, ¡°bowed the heavens, and came down¡± (Ps. 18:9) ¡°for us men and for our
salvation¡± (the Creed). Since man has lost Paradise because of his pride, now
God humbles Himself and comes down to earth as a weak infant so that man may
regain Paradise. Just as selfishness threw the first human beings out of
Paradise, so can humility put all descendants of Adam and Eve back in
Paradise.
After the
incarnation of God, man has the potential, by imitating God and through
humility, to advance spiritually to his pre-fall state. Armed with humility, he
can defeat the devil, his sinful passions and worldly desires. In this way, we may lead ¡°sober, upright, and
godly lives, in this world¡± (Tit. 2:12).
Humility is what
every devoted person needs in order to obey the Will of God, as this is
expressed in the Holy Scriptures and the Fathers of the
Church.
Humility is what
couples need so that peace and love may prevail between them; so that they may
say ¡°forgive me¡± to one another when serious—or even trivial—issues arise, and
not to disband their family because of them.
Humility is what
children and young people need in order to obey and respect their parents and
their elders, in order to learn from their parents and teachers and not to
pretend they know everything.
Humility is
necessary for someone to work in harmony with his colleagues, to recognize the
qualifications of his subordinates, and not to look down on
anyone.
Humility is what
politicians and religious leaders need to always remember that that their task
is to serve the people and not to be served by the people.
Humility is what
the powerful of this earth need mostly in order to manage the riches and goods
of the earth in a democratic manner and not according to their personal or even
national interests at the expense of poor and weak countries.
My sisters and
brothers, the Holy Fathers of the Church use the term ¡°elevating¡± for humility.
Because humility truly lifts us up to Heaven. It helps us have a taste of Heaven
from this earthly life. Humility transforms us into brothers and sisters,
without any ego, hatred, wars, fights, divorces, courts, poverty and all that
selfishness begets and enables to make our lives hell. With humility not only
can we enjoy eternally the lost Paradise, but we can also make our life on earth
a paradise.
Let us all decide
to make humility our objective for the year 2012. Firstly, let us pray to the
Lord to grant us a humble spirit. And secondly, let us all struggle to cultivate
humility during the New Year. Only in this way shall we manage to advance
spiritually; and by following the way of humility we can be certain that we
shall have a better relationship with our family and with our wider social
environment. By doing so, we shall
contribute, as much as we can, to overcoming the crisis that is plaguing our
modern world.
On behalf of His
All Holiness the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, His Eminence Sotirios
Metropolitan of Pisidia, our Clergy, the Deacons, monks and nuns and all our
collaborators in the Lord, we pray that the year 2012 is filled with the grace
of God, which is drawn by blessed humility, because, ¡°God opposes the proud, but
gives grace to the humble¡± (James 4:6). Amen.
