Peace and Translate

10/17/22 offered by Seza Ouzounian

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Amen.
—St. Francis of Assisi

God please bless Fr Vazken to continue to be the beacon of our people guiding us closer to Jesus.

Thank you for Fr Vazken to translate Jesus' messages to us and especially making it easy for our children to understand Jesus' teachings.

Thank you Fr Vazken for making us realize how unique our Armenian Church is, like a "pearl" and now showing it to the world through epostle.net. Thank you for leading us away from victimhood to being victorious (Kutch yev arokhch) under God's protection and grace.

Amen

For the Soul of Sam Sarkes Boranian

9/19/22 - offered by Yn. Susan Movsesian
(on the evening following his funeral)

Christ our Lord, grant rest to Your servant, Sam Sarkes Boranian (our father) among your saints, where there is no pain, sorrow or suffering, but everlasting life.

With the righteous who have rested in Your peace, grant calm to the soul of Your servant, Sam, and set upon him the Blessed life which is from You, merciful Lord.

Lord, remember Your servant Sam, who has fallen asleep in the hope of the resurrection. Forgive him every transgression he has committed in thought, word, or deed. Grant him peace and refreshment in a place of light where Your glory delights all the Saints. For you are the resurrection, the tranquility and the life of Your departed servant Sam Sarkes. To you I give glory now and forever.
Amen

Dear Lord,
Give me the ability to trust you with all my heart,
so my intentions and choices are truly yours, not mine.

His destiny was the cross …

His purpose was love …

His reason was you… 

All that is good is yours because of Jesus. 

All that is fulfilling is yours because you serve him. 

All that is peaceful is yours because you love him. 

May the blessing of your day be a wonderful reminder of all Jesus has given us.

Amen

Good Things

7/25/22 offered by Meline Talarian

Dear Father,

Today, I want to focus on all the good things You have done and continue to do for me and my loved ones.

You are my healer, my protector, my rescuer, and my provider. Thank You for giving me Your strength, joy, peace, and love. I will never take for granted the simple things You have provided…a roof over my head, my good health, financial resources, and dear friends and family to love and cherish.

God, please remove any distractions or fears that may be keeping me from staying focused on You. So, when I come up against any troubles or difficulties, help me to remember how loyal and faithful You are to me.

You are enough for me and I know I can trust You to always protect me and my loved ones. Nothing is impossible for You.

You are worthy of all my praise. 

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
