Sacrament of the Day

Forgive to be forgiven

 

Try not judgment and punishment for people, but mercy. Each of us is in great need of mercy. We are all sinners before the Lord. Rev. Fr. Tigran Badiryan speaks on this. (19 Fast Day: I Cor. 5.9-6.10: Matt. 18.23-35)

Commit yourself to Christ unconditionally

God delights in one who is converted

Meditate on the truth as much as possible

 

Never be afraid to testify about the truth, because you have to. The preachers of the truth never pay attention to whom they witness. Rev. Fr. Voskan Voskanyan speaks on this.  (11 Saint Isaiah the Prophet Isa. 6:1-10: Heb. 11:32-40: Luk. 4:14-22: )

Live in the presence of the Lord
