    ** TOP STORY March 14, 2013
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    Sunday of Advent


    ** Sunday of the Advent
    ------------------------------------------------------------

    Early in our journey through Great Lent we observed the Sunday of the
    Expulsion, which retold the story of mankind's first disobedience, our
    exile from paradise, and the beginning of humanity's long history of
    separation from God.

    In a nice expression of symmetry and resolution, Lent concludes with
    the Sunday of the Advent (March 17, the sixth and last Sunday of
    Lent): that is, the coming of Jesus Christ, through whom God entered
    human history and restored what had been lost in the exile from Eden.

    The Advent calls to mind the birth and revelation of our Savior, his
    subsequent sacrifice for mankind, and his victory over sin and
    death. As the last Sunday of Lent, this day is especially devoted to
    the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, reminding us that he is our eternal
    Lord and King, and that just as everything once began with God, so too
    will everything one day end with Him.

    as a heaven, a temple of holiness, where the Holy Trinity is

    Pope Francis
    Pope Francis addresses pilgrims in St. Peter's Square.


    ** Buona Sera!
    ------------------------------------------------------------

    The crowd in St. Peter's Square erupted into a shout of delight when
    it heard the familiar Italian greeting-`Good evening'-from Cardinal
    Jorge Mario Bergoglio: his first words spoken as His Holiness Pope
    Francis, the 266th pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church.

    His Holiness Karekin II, the Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All
    Armenians, issued a warm congratulatory letter to his brother church
    leader, recalling their meeting during his 2011 Pontifical Visit to
    the new pope's native Argentina. `We fondly remember our meetings and
    prayers together with Your Holiness in Argentina,' the Catholicos
    wrote, `during which we came to know you as a good shepherd, and a
    courageous, wise, and just church leader. We are happy to avow your
    sincere love and affection shown towards the Armenian people.'

    Already news reports are remarking on the novel background Pope
    Francis brings to his new office: he is the first pope to come from
    the Western hemisphere; the first from the Society of Jesus. But his
    introduction to the world this week showed Pope Francis to be a man
    who embodies the age-old virtues of the Christian faith: humility,
    simplicity, a loving concern for the spiritual well-being of mankind.

    Addressing the crowd for the first time as pope, Francis bowed down
    and asked all those listening to remember him in their prayers. We
    join our Catholicos, our sister churches, and the world in offering
    prayers and good wishes to the new occupant of the Throne of
    St. Peter.

    ------------------------------------------------------------

    On Saturday, March 9, over 100 people took part in "Walk Thru the Old
    Testament"-a unique opportunity to learn about the Bible-at Holy

    with Holy Trinity Church and St. Sahag and St. Mesrob Church of
    Wynnewood, PA.

    The day's instructor, Roger Petersen, a professor at Cairn University
    in Langhorne, PA, offered brief explanations of content and led
    participants through gestures and mnemonic techniques to help them
    learn and remember the Old Testament story, from Creation through the
    prophetic voices that preceded the coming of Christ.

    The enthusiasm of the participants affirmed the Department of Youth
    and Education's vision of Christian education as a never-ending,
    life-long process. Last weekend's Walk Thru event is the third
    sponsored by the Diocese in different regions, in an effort to infuse

    Leadership Conference
    The retreat was held at the Roman Catholic Seminary of the Immaculate
    Conception in Huntington, NY.


    ** Youth Leaders Gather for Lenten Retreat
    ------------------------------------------------------------

    Some 50 young people from parishes across the Eastern Diocese traveled
    to Huntington, NY, last weekend to take part in a Lenten retreat
    focused on this year's Diocesan theme, "Living the Gospel of Christ."
    Archbishop Khajag Barsamian, Diocesan Primate, presided over the
    activities on March 8-10.

    "The Armenian Church is the stage upon which we can take up Christ's
    ministry," Archbishop Barsamian said. "Our pious ancestors have
    created such a rich, beautiful tapestry of traditions and experiences
    within our church. They created it so you could understand who Jesus
    Christ is; so you could follow him-and encourage others to do the
    same."

    The young people at the retreat were all participants in past Diocesan
    programs for youth leaders, including the 2010 Leadership Conferences
    and the 2011 and 2012 Youth Pilgrimages to the Holy Land. This month's
    retreat gave them an opportunity to study key points of Jesus'
    ministry: his preaching at the Sea of Galilee, his feeding of the
    multitude, the Last Supper in the Upper Room, his night spent at the
    Garden of Gethsemane, his suffering on the cross, and his resurrection
    revealed at the empty tomb.

    Through these experiences, the young people deepened their
    understanding of what it means to live the Gospel of Christ, and of
    how Jesus can guide their lives. They were also encouraged to consider
    how they can put their faith into action at their local parishes.

    On Sunday morning, Archbishop Barsamian celebrated the Divine Liturgy,
    with young people assisting on the altar and singing in the
    choir. After the service, each of the participants approached the
    Primate to receive his blessing.
