Psalm 62:5-8

2/7/2022 offered by John Ipjian

Yes, my soul, find rest in God;
my hope comes from him.
Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
My salvation and my honor depend on God[a];
he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
Trust in him at all times, you people;
pour out your hearts to him,
for God is our refuge.

In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Protection

1/31/22 offered by Mimi Markarian

Lord God, I pray for Your protection
as I begin this day.
You are my hiding
place, and under Your wings I can
always find refuge.
Protect me from trouble wherever I go,
and keep evil far from me.
No matter where I am, I will look to You
as my Protector, the one who fights for me every day.
Your love and faithfulness, along with
Your goodness and mercy, surround
me daily, so I will not fear whatever
might come against me.
My trust is in You, God,
and I give thanks to You for Your love and protection.
In Jesus' name, Amen.

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 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.
