Post Artsakh

10/2/23 - offered by Lynn Bedrosian

O merciful Lord, we come before you with a humble but resolute spirit, seeking your grace and mercy for our Armenian brothers and sisters in Artsakh.

Our hearts are heavy with concern for their suffering and hardship. We beseech you, Lord, to strengthen them in their struggles and to provide them with courage and resilience amidst this next trial of leaving their homes in Artsakh and finding refuge in Armenia.

We humbly ask for the intercession of St. Gregory the Illuminator, St. Mary the Holy Mother of God, and all the saints. May their prayers and examples inspire us to be agents of healing. Grant us the compassion to extend a helping hand to our Artsakh families and grant them comfort in their pain and solace in their grief.

Inspire leaders and nations to work together in the pursuit of justice and peace for our people. May the light of your truth shine brightly, dispelling the darkness of hatred and division so that one day justice and
righteousness may prevail in our ancestral lands.

In your boundless mercy, hear our prayer, O Lord. We offer these petitions with trusting hearts, knowing that you are a compassionate and loving God. May your will be done, and may you guide the people of Artsakh safely to Armenia and the next chapter of their lives. And to you we offer glory and honor, now and forever. Amen.
