IC XC NIKA — Jesus Christ Victorious

Glory to Jesus Christ!

To be a disciple of Jesus Christ does not mean that life will be without struggle. The path of faith often leads us through times of testing. Yet, in every moment of difficulty, we discover that Christ’s strength is made perfect in our weakness. Through His grace, what would otherwise overwhelm us becomes instead a way to be purified, renewed, and made steadfast in love.

At every Divine Liturgy, the seal on the Eucharistic bread reminds us of this truth: IC XC NIKA — Jesus Christ Victorious. These words proclaim the heart of our faith: that Christ is victorious over sin, death, and every power that seeks to separate us from God. His victory is not distant or abstract. It is shared with us, given to us in every prayer, every Holy Mystery, and every act of faithfulness that unites our hearts to His.

Even the most painful or confusing circumstances can, by God’s mercy, become part of our salvation. In Christ, defeat is never the final word. His triumph transforms our suffering into hope and our trials into opportunities for grace. Jesus Christ is victorious—and in His victory, we find courage, peace, and unshakable joy.

~Fr. Andrew Jarmus, Dean, St. Mary's Orthodox Cathedral, Minneapolis, MN
