Principal Principles

Next Step #568: Sri Lanka Easter massacre and the concept of a “holy and mighty” God. Reflections on a principal with principles: Gabriel Injejikian (1930-2019).

Xavarum

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #566: First pictures of a Black Hole – a place where not even light escapes – is contrasted with Xavarum, the service of darkness – a place where Light might not have escaped but did. Fr. Vazken takes you on this pre-Holy Week Meditation with looks at fantasy becoming reality as we dream and use the creative energy in each of us. All laws of physics fall apart inside the Black Hole – sound familiar? “Reclaim Gomidas” now complete – reflections on the Conference. Translating beyond language.
