In this year\u2019s Christmas pastoral letter<\/a>, Metropolitan Serafim of Germany invites the faithful to move beyond the material comfort associated with the Nativity feast and to rediscover what he calls \u201cthe only new thing under the sun\u201d: the humility of God who becomes Man.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the pastoral message titled \u201cThe Christian Woman in the Family, the Church and Society,\u201d Metropolitan Serafim stresses that the mystery of the Incarnation cannot be grasped through pure reason, but only through \u201cthe humility of the mind.\u201d In an age marked by individualism, the Metropolitan urges believers to follow the counsel of Elder Thaddeus of Vitovnica: \u201cthink with the heart, speak with the heart, and work with the heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

Authentic faith, he explains, is not merely an intellectual assent but a total commitment of the human person, with the Mother of God as its supreme model. Through her words, \u201cLet it be to me according to your word,\u201d she showed that humility means complete trust in God and the renunciation of self-sufficiency.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Mother of God is the supreme model of faith, humility, and obedience\u2014for mothers and virgins alike, and for all who seek the salvation of their souls,\u201d the metropolitan said.<\/p>\n

2026: The Year of the Family and of Holy Women<\/h2>\n

Metropolitan Serafim also recalled that 2026 has been declared the \u201cSolemn Year of Pastoral Care for the Christian Family\u201d and the \u201cCommemorative Year of the Holy Women of the Calendar (myrrhbearers, martyrs, venerable women, wives, and mothers).\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThroughout the coming year, we are called to reflect more deeply and to understand better the role of the family\u2014especially that of Christian women\u2014in the Church and in society. The family is God\u2019s gift for the continuation of the human race: \u2018Be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and subdue it\u2019 (Genesis 1:28), God commanded the first people,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

The metropolitan went on to emphasise the family as \u201cthe little Church.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe family is the first school of life, where children discover faith and its values, learn to pray, learn what is good and what is evil, and learn obedience and kindness. In raising children, mothers play a fundamental role. All of us can say that we received the faith from our mothers or grandmothers, who taught us to pray and brought us to church from an early age. Faith\u2014not material possessions\u2014is the greatest inheritance we can leave our children, so that they may grow up healthy and succeed in life,\u201d Metropolitan Seraphim explained.<\/p>\n

Women as the \u2018engine\u2019 of the community<\/h2>\n

The hierarch highlighted the role of women in both family and society, noting that God has endowed them with qualities distinct from those of men.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf a man tends to judge more with the mind, a woman tends to judge more with the heart. Yet mind and heart complement one another\u2026 The heart is the centre of the human being, the dwelling place of God,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

Metropolitan Seraphim also emphasised that while sacramental priesthood is reserved for men, holiness knows no gender. Women are often the \u201cengine\u201d of parish communities, actively involved in liturgical singing, catechesis, and church administration. In the modern context, he added, Christian women are also called to bear witness to \u201cthe hidden person of the heart\u201d through integrity and honest work in their professional lives.<\/p>\n

He concluded by noting that the Holy Synod\u2019s decision to canonise 16 women with a holy life<\/a> demonstrates that models of sanctity have existed\u2014and continue to exist\u2014among the faithful today.<\/p>\n
