Next Step with Fr. Vazken #719: In today’s podcast: Absurdity abounds with a question and the seeming answer. 2.5million refugees and thousands dead, on this fourth week of the War in Ukraine, people are justifying peace! Not just-war but just-peace: absurdity. Pope Francis calls up Kirill and says there is no holy war. Lessons not-learned: generations that will be affected after War. Here’s an Armodox look at what’s going on.

Expressions of His Holiness Karekin II to the Conference on Freedom and Peace in Holy Etchmiadzin.

A Rock Standing Rock: Merry Christmas

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #446: Fr. Vazken’s 2016 Christmas Message. Finding the underlying spirit in Christmas and in life. An army of robots doing good work doesn’t get the work done. The “God force” that pushes us to do. Standing Rock: the story of an Armenian who stands at the Standing Rock. Connecting to the Divine and the Eternal. Fr. Vazken’s 2016 Christmas message, “Even if all the stories of shepherds and wise men were fabricated…”  The moment of singularity: the God force that is born in each of us to bring Peace and Harmony. The Winter Solstice is today! Ring out those bells! The Birth of the Sun.
