Sharing Forgiveness

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #561: Getting to know someone beyond meeting personally – a reflection of love is the key. Sharing: Is there a word? What does that say about us? Pope Francis on Love. Elements of Lent: Charity, Prayer and Fasting – a challenge to do the hardest of these (and hint: it’s not the one you’re thinking.)

Defining Emoji Prayer

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #545 – Prayer: Wanted or unwanted we have a stocked (canned) response to tragedy. Moving beyond the words and listening to the sound of God is what Fr. Vazken explores this week. Reflection on rediscovering and connecting to Faith in Armenia: from the dangers of fungi to the inspiration of St. Hripsime. Moving from the pages of our Faith to the reality of our Faith. Take a look in the closet: Finding a silk-screened robe at St. James.

Irony of Compassion

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #482: “The bee that almost drowned” starts off this episode which brings to question our sense of Compassion. Is it a case of irony, betrayal or ungratefulness that we have lost our focus. Mother Teresa 20 years later furthers the discussion on compassion. The Eternal Present overshadowing the future.  Exposed myths: future-theology, self-made wealth and the Council of Chalcedon. The Palin endorsement and our loss of memory. And the “Dervishian Matrix” in this Next Step.

Missing Link of Revenge

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #438: Revenge is sweet they say, but never like this. It comes in the form of answering the Armodoxy puzzle and providing a missing link to the equation of love. It all comes down to patience: watch out instant-grats! Also – Prayer of healing, Naregatzi. American politics – voting for the lesser of two evils doesn’t make it right. It never has – or so we experiment and find out. The ethnic vote – Antonovich’s miscalc.

Mess without Poetry

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #424: A look at the messiness of political situations and unrest in the world; answers on the spiritual plane in the absence of Church. Too little, too late… and not even a prayer? Themes of non-violence, seeking justice, pursuit of happiness and the changes from the 60’s to today.  More on the bait and switch as found in Pokemon (#423). Coup in Turkey, Unrest in Armenia and the Trump wild-card, all in this edition.
