Sacrament of the Day

Stop and eat spiritual food

 

In the constant running, we lose the most important thing - spiritual food. The spirit that feeds our body, gives us life force and ability, begins to die without God. Rev. Fr. Tigran Badiryan speaks on this. (Saints Andrew the General and his army, and Callinicus and Diomedes the Martyrs. Rom. 15.14-29: Matt. 15.21-28)

Fear only God

 

Be awake in mind and soul. Keep the fear of God before your eyes. You don't need to fear the world, fear God, because this world is ruining us. Rev. Fr. Arnak Harutyunyan speaks on this.

(Saints Eugenios, Makarios, Valerian, Candidus and Aquila. Sop. 3.19-20: 2 Cor. 10.3-6: Matt. 10.23-33.)

God will give eternal life 

 

You will not perish and you will have eternal life if you take the word of God into you, receive communion at the liturgies and if you show your faith by embodying the word of God. Rev. Fr.  Movses Sahakyan speaks on this. († Fifth Sunday after Transfiguration. Isa. 62.1-11: 2 Tim. 2.15-19: Jovh. 6.39-47).

See the true leader

 

Open the eyes of the soul, mind, heart and see the true leader who is ready to sacrifice his life for the sake of his sheep, for the sake of his flock. Father Arnak Harutyunyan speaks on this.  (Saint Gregory of Theologian. Acts. 8.33-36: Hosea. 10.12: Amos. 5.10-14: Acts. 20.25-32: John. 10.11-16).

Do you want to live a God-pleasing or a man-pleasing life?

 

Many people who are glorified by men have no merit before God and many people who are not recognized by men are glorified before God in the name of Jesus Christ. Rev. Fr. Tigran Badiryan speaks on this. (Fast Day: 2 Tim. 2:3-14: John 5:31-47)

Trust God with unconditional faith

 

Do we know Christ, are our deeds worthy of Christ, are we able to be happy and make our loved ones happy? May God bless us with this faith and awareness. Rev. Fr. Voskan Voskanyan speaks on this. (The Hermits Saints Triphon, Barsauma and Onouphrius. Isa. 41.15-20: 1 Pet. 2.9-15: Jov. 9.39-10.10)

It is by the glory of God that we can inherit eternity

 

We must seek the kingdom of God and the glory of the Lord. It is God who gives us everything. Rev. Fr. Tigran Badiryan speaks on this.

(31 Mon. Fast Day: I Tim. 5.17-6.5: John. 3.22-36)

The cross of Christ leads us to eternal salvation

 

We must overcome every trial in our life with Christ. He is with us in tribulation. Being a cross bearer with Christ does not make our life bitter, but it makes the bitterness of our life sweeter. Rev. Fr. Voskan Voskanyan speaks on this. (30 Saints Vahan of Goghtn, Eugenia the Virgin, Her Father Phillip and her mother Claudia, Her Brothers Sergius and Apitonius, and the Two Eunuchs. Acts. 7.1-7. Ezek. 12.17-19. Rom. 8.12-27. Luk. 9.23 -27).

Serve each other

 

If we are not simple and patient, naive and believing like children, we cannot be better. Awaken in you the spirit of service.

Rev. Fr. Arnak Harutyunyan speaks on this. (29 Saints Cyricus and His Mother Julitta, and Saints Gordius, Polyeuctus and Grigoris. Acts 14:1-6: Zechariah 8:4-5: Isaiah 60:8-9: Heb. 2:14-18: Luke 9:44-48).

The one who who keeps the word of God's son will be saved

 

A person can be saved if he sees his sins. People, looking at their sins, were not cleansed, but deepened in their sins. Rev. Fr. Movses Sahakyan speaks on this. (28 † Fourth Sunday after Transfiguration. Isa. 58.13-59.7: I Tim. 4.12-5.10: Jovh. 3.13-21).
