My dear children, may you have a good new year!

God, who loves us all very much, gives us gifts every day. His gift was the carefree moments of the summer that we enjoyed. His gift is also the opportunities of discovery and creation that you will experience in your school that welcomes you today. It is also His gift to meet up again with loved ones, such as your friends and teachers. It is up to you to unwrap these gifts and enjoy them, illuminating the lives of yourself and those around you.

Who is the Best Kid?


By Elder Ephraim of the Skete of Saint Andrew

We had gone to a school, which had very young children, who were around six years old. We handed out candies and asked them a question:

"Are you all good kids?"

"Yes…!!!" they said all at once.

"And who is the best kid?"

"Me…!!!" they all said, raising their hands.
