Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2020!

 Each New Year is a stage that prompts us to make some conclusions about how we managed the precious time that the Lord gave us last year. And how thoughtfully and seriously we treat the priority areas of our activities in the new year largely depends on an honest answer to the question about what our previous year was full of.

It is said in the Holy Scriptures: "Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom" (2 Cor. 3:17). And in this context, we would like to hope that you, inspired by the freedom-loving Holy Spirit of God, Who is the Spirit of Truth (see John 16:13), will always be guided by the principles of freedom and free intellectual search in all your further endeavors.

The modern world is full of temptations and challenges that lure a person with many bright entertainments and pretended pleasures. But in connection with this, we would like to remind all of us of the wonderful words of the Holy Apostle Paul, who in his Epistle to the Romans calls us all: "Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may know what is the will of God: good, acceptable, and perfect" (Rom. 12:2).

Therefore, in addition to everything else, we sincerely wish all of us, dear brothers and sisters, that this new year 2020 brings to each of us not just an update of the wall or desktop calendar, not just an update of our social circle or the list of contacts in our phone, but an update of our thoughts and our holistic worldview, and that these festive days become a powerful and effective impulse and a springboard for our further spiritual growth in the knowledge of our All-Good and Almighty Creator.

Sincerest regards and best wishes,
