Dear Young Melkites 

Fr. Elias KilziI would like to say to each one of you: Be strong in the Spirit, the Spirit of Truth. Consider all that you do today in your life as an opportunity towards knowing yourself. Knowing better today than yesterday, challenging the knowledge of your own self, for it is about discovering the depth of human secrets and mysteries.  As we are all created in the image of God, therefore we are all able to discover the depth of the Divine Presence in our life. “Come, all you who hunger, and I will make you satisfied”. We are hungering for the truth, we are thirsty for it, but guess what?!! Sometimes we don’t even notice that the water is so close to us. In other words, we, through the Sacrament of Baptism, received Christ in us, (we put on Christ) therefore the fountain of Life is already running within us, but we are not aware of, for all our cares of this life are blinding us. Let us be, as St. Paul’s and His Grace, Bishop Issam John Darwish, has said: (Convert your life, that you may see Christ through your heart, and allow Him to live in you). Guys, you can do it!

The grace of God be with all of you. Amen.
Fr. Elias Kilzi, Youth Chaplain - NSW
