Secret Message of Dreaming

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #516- April 27, 2018 – Finding a secret message encrypted on a marble stone; it becomes the foundation for a dream. Fr. Vazken gives his first-hand account of the Montebello Genocide Monument opening in 1968 (50 years). Looking for victimization? You’d never believe who and why. Commemoration in Boise, Idaho with the celebration of the Divine Liturgy. Can’t hide April 24 or what’s happening in Armenia.

Where’d everyone go?

Next Step #512: A mid-Holy Week tally of who’s who and what’s what. What happened to the thousands of friends who ushered Jesus into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and left him alone for his death only four days later? Don’t wait for Easter to be April fooled! Singling out Pilate – no Judas here – in a second-creed puts Easter in the history book and out of the connection book. Heading out to Utah to celebrate Easter and the Holy Divine Liturgy, Fr. Vazken shares a very special resurrection message.

Sign & Dome

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #508: Prelude to the Reclaim Conference (2018) looks at a form of learn and introspection. The unlikely pairing of two icons, a sign and a dome beg the question: what is there to reclaim? Something lost? Something forgotten? Here is a run down of what to expect at the conference and in life. A lenten journey with tentacles that reach out.
