Heavenly Father,

Thank you for today’s Bible Study session. Thank you Fr. Vazken for bringing us together every Monday. We cherish and miss those days when we met in person, where Fr. Vazken made every effort to make us feel specially Blessed with the services on occasions like Christmas, Easter, grape Blessings, when he Blessed the grapes from his own backyard, and many more beautiful services like Blessing each of us with special Murron from Edjmiatsin.

We remember everything and also appreciate the opportunity to be able to still get together every Monday for virtual Blessings, to listen and learn your words that comforts our hearts and helps us to keep our faith strong and stay in peace throughout the week. As we leave this meeting and go on with our lives, Father, give us wisdom that leads to love and faith. Help us to make wise choices for the glory of your name. Let your light shine bright in every household. Please Cover each member of this group and their loved ones with your precious blood and forgive our sins, since you are the only one without sin. Help us to continue living and walking by your word, and not by what we see. Help us turn our eyes away from worthless things, so we can focus on our Lord and savior Jesus.

One of my favorites from Nerses Shnorhali’s Հավատով խոստովանիմ
Պահապան բոլորի Քրիստոս
Քո աջը թող հովանի լինի մեզ վրա
Գիշեր, թե ցերեկ, քնած, թե արթուն տանը, թե դրսում
Որպեսզի երբեք չսասանվենք
Ողորմիր քո արարածներին և մեզ բազմամեղիս:
Amen 🙏
