From Simpsons to Simon: Shame of the Cross

September 18, 2014/0 Comments/in The Next Step

Next Step #328 – September 18, 2014

An evening with the Simpsons to a morning with the Holy Cross reveals a challenge to put away shame (amot) and pick up where Simon (IHS patron-saint) leaves off. This is not for the weak of heart, nor of muscle and more than wearing an icon of Christ. Tzavut Danem! is here explained. Also a quick stop with the AESA and some thoughts on the upcoming business venture.

From Blues to BadaRock

September 11, 2014/0 Comments/in The Next Step

Next Step #327 – September 11, 2014

On this 9/11, Fr. Vazken reflects on the power of music in our lives – from the Blues to the celebration of Life. Using musical pieces from “Armenian Blues” such as Eddie Mekjian to John Lee Hooker’s “Alamony Blues” he ties in with the chants and songs of Armodoxy. Also – reflections on the Avon Breast Cancer Walk, every three minutes there is a diagnosis. Walking in His or Her Shoes is the call of this ministry.
“It has been said, ‘time heals all wounds,’ I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone.” – Rose Kennedy
