SPECIAL PRAYER FOR THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA
LORD, KEEP THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA
SECURE AND STABLE
Prayed the Prelate
On Sunday, May 28, 2006, special prayers took place at all
Western Prelacy Churches in celebration of the 88th anniversary of the
independence of the Republic of Armenia.
At Glendale's St. Mary's Church, His Eminence Archbishop Moushegh
Mardirossian, Prelate, accompanied by Very Rev. Fr. Muron Aznikian and St.
Mary's Pastors, offered special prayers and officiated over the blessing of
the Armenian flag.
Guided by the Holy Cross and accompanied by hymns, the flag was
brought into the church by H.M.E.M. scouts, where the Prelate blessed it and
offered blessings for the Republic of Armenia, and the Armenian people. The
Prelate prayed, `Extend your hand, Oh Lord, and bless the Armenian people,
our nation, and the Armenian Apostolic Church.'
In his sermon, the Prelate reminded the faithful that this first
Sunday after Ascension and the sixth Sunday of Eastertide is called Second
Palm Sunday, and symbolizes the entering of Jesus into heaven and inheriting
the heavenly kingdom. Thus, he prayed to the Almighty Lord to keep the
reestablished Republic of Armenia secure and stable, and to grant wisdom to
the leaders of our republic so that they may serve our people with honesty
and integrity. May the Lord enhance and strengthen the courageous spirit of
our commanders and troops that defend our nation, and bless and protect our
people, nation, church, Artsakh, and the Diaspora.
Following Holy Mass, requiem service was conducted for all the
martyrs of our nation and people.
