   "This Nativity night bestowed peace on the whole world; So let no one   
   threaten; This is the night of the Most Gentle One – Let no one be cruel;   
   This is the night of the Humble One – Let no one be proud. Now is the day   
   of joy – Let us not revenge; Now is the day of Good Will – Let us not be   
   mean. In this Day of Peace – Let us not be conquered by anger. Today the   
   Bountiful impoverished Himself for our sake; So, rich one, invite the poor   
   to your table. Today we receive a Gift for which we did not ask; So let us   
   give alms to those who implore and beg us. This present Day cast open the   
   heavenly doors to our prayers; Let us open our door to those who ask our   
   forgiveness. Today the DIVINE BEING took upon Himself the seal of our   
   humanity, In order for humanity to be decorated by the Seal of DIVINITY."   
      
   St. Isaac Syrian, Nativity Homily. "From the rising of the sun unto the   
      
   going down of the same the Lord's name is to be praised. The Lord is high   
   above all nations, and his glory above the heavens."  Psalm 113:3-4   
      
   Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
