Four Corners

 1/24/22 offered by Carmen Markarian

Heavenly Father
Thank you for giving your son
Thank you for the forgiveness of sins
Thank you for watching us in the night hours
Thank you Oh Lord for your peace and rest.

Matthew, Mark, Luke and John,
Bless the bed that I lie on.
Four corners to my bed,
Four angels round my head;
One to watch and one to pray,
And two to bear my soul away.

In Jesus name
AMEN

Merciful

1/17/22 offered by Susanna Pogosyan

Merciful Jesus, you are my guide, the joy of my heart, the author of my hope, and the object of my love. I come seeking refreshment and peace. Show me your mercy, relieve my fears and anxieties, and grant me a quiet mind and an expectant heart, that by the assurance of your presence I may learn to abide in you, who is my Lord and my God. Amen.

Marriage

1/10/22 offered by Yn Susan Movsesian
(on the occasion of son Sevan's wedding to Robin)

Lord Jesus Christ, by Your presence You blessed the wedding in Cana and showed us that You are the true priest of mystical pure marriage. We thank You for the day to come by where Your heavenly benediction will join our son, Sevan and future daughter, Robin, in the sacrament of marriage.
Lord, bless and enrich their marriage in love, companionship, mutual support, oneness of heart and progress in faith and life. Protect their holy wedlock from sin, evil and danger. Foster between them the spirit of understanding, the spirit of forgiveness, and the spirit of peace, that no resentment, quarrel or other problems may cause them to stumble and fall. 
Grant them to see their own faults and to not judge each other. Keep their bond of love always new. Gladden their lives with the joys of marriage, that with one heart they may praise and glorify You.
Amen

Bless those who bless you

 1/3/22 - Prayer from the Divine Liturgy

O Lord, bless those who bless you
and hallow those who put their trust in You.

Save Your people and bless Your inheritance.
Guard the fullness of Your Church.

Sanctify those who have greeted in love
the beauty of Your house.

Glorify us with your divine power
and forsake not those who put their trust in You.

Grant peace to the whole world,
to churches, to priests, to Christian rulers,
to the Armenian Church, to the Republic of Armenia
and to their armed forces,
and to all Your people.

For all good gifts and all perfect bounties
come down from heaven from You,
the Father of light;
and to You is befitting glory, dominion and honor
now and always and unto the ages of ages. 

Amen.
