Dear Friends,
GLORY TO JESUS CHRIST!
On Sunday I will officially transfer from the latin rite to the Byzantine Rite which bears it's stamp on my identity as a Christian.
I am so grateful to Fr. Stephen, St. Luke's, and Bishop John Kudrick. Please pray that I may enter with a humble heart and a spirit of service.
Please also pray for me as I prepare for the sacrament of Chrismation which will happen on the 21st Sunday after Pentecost.
Yours in Christ,
Brian Biggerstaff
St. Luke's Byzantine Catholic Church

May the Lord God bless you abundantly as you are chrismated. May he grant you peace and great joy in your decision.
Peace health and happiness for many blessed years!

Many years, mnohaja i blahaja lita. Through the intercession of the Theotokos and St. Constantine, O Lord bless your servant Brian.
Looking forward to a couple of weeks!

Glory to God! Congratulations  Our Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen....

Thanks Doc!
I'm so motivated by these responses. It is amazing how all of the scattered pieces in my life have been beautifully falling together...miraculously the last few months that I have been preparing for this.
Thank you so much for your prayers.
Sincerely,
Brian Biggerstaff
