"Your birth,
O Christ our God,
has shed upon the world the light of knowledge.
For through it, those who worshipped the stars
have learned from a star to worship you,
the Sun of Justice,
and to know you,
the Dawn from on High.
Glory to you, O Lord!"
(Byzantine liturgy)
In the joyful waiting for our next meeting,
we wish you peace and light!
The prior Enzo Bianchi
and the brothers and sisters of Bose
