Sacrament of the Day

Love is the mother of all good things

 

Do we love each other, do we have enough dedication to our mother church, are we ready to be faithful to our values? We should ask God to overcome weakness through prayer. Rev. Fr. Voskan Voskanyan speaks on this. (25 Gsh. Saint Zechariah the Prophet. Zech. 3.7-4.9: I Cor. 12.28-13.3: Matt. 23.34-39).

Cast aside all cares and think only of Jesus Christ 

 

Look at the captain of faith, the Lord Jesus. When a person arranges his life in comparison with Christ, he achieves victory. Do not compare yourself with anyone, you have your own gift. Rev. Fr. Arnak Harutyunyan speaks on this. (24 Saints Callistratus and his companions, and Lukianos the Priest. Ar. 1.2-9: Isa. 41.1-3: Heb. 12.1-7: Mk. 13.9-13: )

In the end, it will be clear who is good and who is evil

 

Do not allow evil to be sown in you. Just allow good seeds to be planted in you. Believe only the word of God. Rev. Fr. Movses Sahakyan speaks on this. (23 † Sun. Fifth Sunday after Pentecost

Feast of the Discovery of St. Mary’s Box- Isa. 2.5-11: Rom. 9.30-10.4: Matt. 13.24-30. )

With Christ all things can be gathered 

 

It is time for every Christian to reflect on his status, is he in the role of a gatherer or a scatterer with Christ? Do all that you do with Christ. Rev. Fr. Arnak Harutyunyan speaks on this. (22 Saints Tiridates (Trdat) the King of Armenia, Queen Ashkhen and Princess Khosrovidoukht. Ims. 6.2-10: Isa. 45.1-3: 1 Tim. 2.1-7: Luk. 11.14-23)

There is one way to break the chain of dissatisfaction: to change 

 

If we change the whole world, but we remain the same, nothing will change for us, but if we change, then we will see that the whole world changes. The center of change is Jesus Christ. Rev. Fr. Tigran Badiryan speaks on this. (21 Fast Day: Rom. 9.17-27: Matt. 13.16-23: )

God knows what you need

 

God will give us everything we need and more, so we should not worry about making money, but we should worry about doing justice. Rev. Fr.  Movses Sahakyan speaks on this. 

 (20 Holy Translators Saints Sahak and Mesrop Ims. 8.7-10: Isa. 61.6-9: I Cor. 12.4-11: Luk. 12.32-40: ).

Every word is a way of salvation 

 

The same person can be both the fertile soil, and the rocky soil, and the roadside soil on which God's seeds are. We should be fertile ground for every word. Rev. Fr. Tigran Badiryan speaks on this. (19 Mon. Fast Day: Rom. 9:1-16: Matt. 13:1-8: ).

Don't let iniquity drain your love 

 

Jesus Christ preached 2000 years ago to be patient, not to stop loving. We should not let evil drain love, but we should make love more abundant. Rev. Fr. Movses Sahakyan speaks on this. (18 Saints Prophet Daniel and his Companions Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego: Dan. 2.1-49: Heb. 11.32-40: Matt. 24.9-15: )

Godliness involves suffering 

 

Christianity is not an easy path, but we must remain steadfast, because we know the message conveyed to us by the Holy Scriptures. There are many winds, but we must be faithful to the word of the master. Rev. Fr. Arnak Harutyunyan speaks on this (Saints martyrs Antoninus, Theophilus, Anicetus and Potinus Acts. 8.7-10: Naum. 1.7-9: I Cor. 12.4-11: Mk. 6.45-52: ) :

We all seek peace

 

We can find rest in the house from where we left. We have gone out of God's presence and must return to God to buy rest. Rev. Fr. Movses Sahakyan speaks on this. (16 † Fourth Sunday after Pentecost. Isa. 1.21-31: Rom. 7.25-8.11: Matt. 12.38- 45: )
