"BEING CHRISTIAN IS A QUALITY OF LIFE"
HIS HOLINESS ARAM I
Continuing his visit to the parishes in Tehran, Iran, on Sunday 20 May, His
Holiness Aram preached at the church of St. Gregory the Illuminator. The
theme of his sermon was "Christ: our Life".
His Holiness described life as a "gift of God. Therefore, it must be lived
for God. God should be the center and purpose of human life". Aram I
reminded the faithful that "human life was distorted because of Adam's sin;
Christ, the New Adam came to the world in order to restore the life of
humanity and creation". Therefore, "Christ is the source of true life; in
and through Him we were given the true life" stated His Holiness and called
the faithful to live their life having Christ at the center of their thought
and work.
After the eucharistic celebration, His Holiness, accompanied with the
primates of Tehran and Isfahan, met with the people and had brief
conversation with them on issues pertaining to their family and community
life.
The same day His Holiness also visited St. Minas Church and was warmly
greeted by the faithful. In his message, Aram I emphasized the need for
spiritual renewal. He said that "being Christian is a quality of life
sustained by spiritual values".
