PASSING OF DIRAMAYR ISGOUHI LAKISSIAN
We
note with sorrow the passing of Diramayr Isgouhi Lakissian, mother of
Rev. Fr. Mesrob Lakissian, pastor of St. Illuminators Cathedral. She
died in Anjar, Lebanon, on June 27 at the age of 76. Funeral services
took place on June 28 at Sourp Boghos Church in
Anjar.
Diramayr came to the United States in November 2005 to attend the
ordination of her son Der Mesrob.
Several months later she suffered a stroke and after four months of
care in New York she was taken back to Lebanon. She is survived by her
children,
Harout and Rita Lakissian, Sima and Seto Papisian, Maral and Raffi
Keosheyan, Rev. Fr. Mesrob and Yn. Ojen Lakissian, Tamar Lakissian,
and ten
grandchildren.
The 40th day memorial service will take place on Sunday, August 9 in
Anjar and in New York at
the temporary home of St. Illuminators Cathedral at the Armenian
Center, Woodside, New York. We extend our heartfelt condolences to Der
Mesrob
and his entire family.
A TREE GROWS IN GRANITE
CITY
The St. Gregory the Illuminator Church community of Granite City,
Illinois, erected a living
memorial to its beloved former pastor, Rev. Fr. Vartan Kassabian, who
died suddenly this past March. A red leaf maple tree was planted in
the yard
adjacent to the church edifice that was built thirteen years ago under
Der Vartans guidance and leadership. Donated by the Kassabian family,
the tree will stand as a living memorial to this outstanding
clergyman, whose untimely death has left this community, and indeed
the entire Prelacy
family, in shock.
The dedication and blessing of the tree was presided over by
Rev. Fr. Stephan Baljian,
pastor of the church. During the ceremony, Der Hayr said a few words
acknowledging the sadness of the event, yet recognizing the poignancy
of planting
a tree in the very shadow of the church that Der Vartan served so
lovingly and dutifully.
The St. Gregory the
Illuminator parish community is thankful to the Kassabian family for
Der Hayrs and Yeretsgins years of devotion and service, as well
as for graciously donating the tree to the community. Special thanks
are also extended to the Asadorian and Keeney families, who following
the
dedication ceremony sponsored a traditional hokejash (memorial meal),
of which the entire community partook. May his memory be ever
blessed.

DAILY BIBLE READINGS
Bible readings for
today, Thursday, July 9, are: 2 Kings 13:14-21; 1 Corinthians 2:6-10;
Luke 4:25-30
Now when Elisha
had fallen sick with the illness of which he was to die, King Joash of
Israel went down to him, and wept before him, crying, My father, my
father! The chariots of Israel and its horsemen! Elisha said to him,
Take a bow and arrows; so he took a bow and arrows. Then
he said to the king of Israel, Draw the bow; and he drew it. Elisha
laid his hands on the kings hands. Then he said,
Open the window eastward; and he opened it. Elisha said, Shoot; and he
shot. Then he said, The Lords
arrow of victory, the arrow of victory over Aram! For you shall fight
the Arameans in Aphek until you have made an end of them. He
continued,
Take the arrows; and he took them. He said to the king of Israel,
Strike the ground with them; he struck three times,
and stopped. Then the man of God was angry with him, and said, You
should have struck five or six times; then you would have struck down
Aram
until you had made an end of it, but now you will strike down Aram
only three
times.
So Elisha died, and they buried him. Now bands of Moabites used to
invade the land in the spring of the year. As a man was being buried,
a marauding band was seen and the man was thrown into the grave of
Elisha; as
soon as the man touched the bones of Elisha, he came to life and stood
on his feet. (2 Kings 13:14-21)

TWELVE APOSTLES OF CHRIST AND SAINT PAUL, THE THIRTEENTH
APOSTLE
This Saturday, July 11, the Armenian Church remembers the twelve
apostles of Christ and Saint
Paul, who is considered to be the thirteenth apostle.
Christ selected twelve apostles to carry on His work and
instructed them to preach and to baptize converts all over the world
(Mt. 28:19-20). Christ himself gave the title apostle to the
twelve (Luke 6:13; Mark 3:14). The word apostle derives from the Greek
word apostellein, meaning to send, (Arakyal
in Armenian). The apostles dedicated their lives to spread the Word
and fulfill the sacred mission entrusted to them. Their mission was
not just
to transmit the message, but to put it into practice.
Paul, the thirteenth apostle, was initially an enemy of
Christians, but he had a vision on the road to Damascus and became a
fervent Christian convert and was subsequently responsible in large
measure for
the rapid spread of the new religion. Most of the New Testament (aside
from the four Gospels) is from the writings of
Paul.
The Armenian Church has its roots in the apostolic ministry and
succession (Thaddeus and Bartholomew)
and is therefore known as apostolic. The Apostles and their immediate
successors (including the Armenian Church) defended the
Orthodox faith and kept it pure.
BAREKENTAN OF THE FAST OF TRANSFIGURATION
This Sunday, July 12, the sixth Sunday after Pentecost, is the
barekentan of the Fast of the Transfigurationthe five-day period of
fasting prior to the Feast of the Transfiguration (Vartavar) which is
next Sunday, July 19.
ECUMENICAL CELEBRATION IN LEBANON CONCLUDES PAULINE
YEAR
An ecumenical celebration last week concluded the Pauline Year
inaugurated by Pope Benedict XVI. The ceremony took place at the
Melkite Greek Catholic Basilica of St. Paul in Harissa, where His
Eminence Archbishop
Komitas Ohanian represented His Holiness Catholicos Aram I.
His Eminence Cardinal Andre Vingt-Troit, the Papal
representative, presided at the celebration. Lebanon is considered to
be one of the seven places associated with St. Paul. All of the
speakers focused
on the ministry of Paul through his message and writings. He is
considered to be a role model for the church and for
priests.
The Pauline Year encouraged many ecumenical activities in Lebanon
throughout the year
in which the Armenian Church participated. The choir of the Armenian
diocese of Lebanon sang Armenian Church hymns during the closing
ceremony.
OLDEST BIBLE TOGETHER AGAIN
The wonders of
the digital age and the internet have united the worlds oldest Bible
on line. The Codex Sanaiticus was hand-written by four scribes in
Greek
on vellum (made of animal skin), in the fourth century about the time
of the Roman emperor Constantine the Great, who became a
Christian. Not all of
the parts of this Bible have withstood the ravages of time. However,
the parts that have survived include the entire New Testament, and
about
half of the Old Testament. The surviving pages total about 800 (the
original is believed to have been 1,400 pages.) The surviving pages
are held by
the British Library in London, the Monastery of St. Catherine in
Sinai, Egypt, the National Library of Russia, and Leipzig University
Library in
Germany. The British Library began digitizing all of the surviving
parts in 2005 in a joint project with the other
institutions.
The 1,600-year-old manuscript is important for scholars who say that
it is a view of the
development of early Christianity and first-hand evidence of how the
text of the Bible was transmitted from generation to generation.
The Bible can be viewed online free at www.codexsinaiticus.org/en/ (
http://e2ma.net/go/2193027305/1998040/74693287/2 4882/goto:http://www.codexsinaiticus.org/en/
