We wish to welcome those who are visiting our church. The Pastor and

cordially invited to take part in the Service and activities of our Church. If

you would like to be placed on our mailing and E-mail list, please sign our

Guest Book located in the Narthex.

PARTICIPATION IN THE DIVINE LITURGY

Please use the Divine Liturgy books that are found in the pew racks.

These books contain the Armenian text as well as the English

transliteration and translation in the second section.

For your convenience, the applicable page number in the burgundy Divine

Liturgy book is located above the right door by the Altar leading to the

Vestry. If assistance is needed, please ask a member of the Parish

Council. Please observe the “Arrows” in the new liturgy books. They

indicate when you should Stand, Sit or Kneel.

Parishioners are also encouraged to sing with the Choir, whose real

purpose is to lead the congregation in singing the hymns. Also join in the

recitation of the Creed which is found on pages 18 and 19 of the second

section.

COLLECTION PLATE

To allow the opportunity for everyone to participate, the collection plate

will be passed after Holy Communion.

REVERENCE REQUIRED

Please be advised that, according to the tradition of the Armenian Church,

members of the congregation are strongly reminded to refrain from

walking in and out of the Sanctuary while services are in progress. You

are especially reminded not to do so during 1) the Chanting of the

Gospel (p. 17; 2) recitation of the Creed (Havadamk), (p. 18); 3) the

Chalice Procession, (pg.24-25); 4) the Hymn, “Der Voghormya,” (pg.

45); and 5) distribution of the Holy Communion (p. 49). Also, please do

not chew gum or cross legs during church services and we ask that

everyone kindly turn off all Cell phones and all other such electronic

devices prior to entering the sanctuary out of respect for the sanctity of our

services.

MAS' At the end of the Divine Liturgy, the 'Mas' or Holy Bread is distributed to the

congregation. When you take your 'Mas' you kiss it and eat it. A good custom is

to take some home to those members of the family who wanted to come to

church, but were unable to.

Distribution of “MAS”

The person giving says: Mas yev pajin yeghitzi kez ee sourp badarakes

May this be to thee a share and a

portion from the Holy Sacrifice.

The person receiving says: Pajin im Asdvadz havidyan

God is my portion forever.

Bible Reading: Holy Gospel of Our Lord according to St. Luke 11:1-13

Our Lord Jesus Christ: e was praying in a certain place, and when he ceased, one of his

his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught

taught his disciples.” And he said to them, “When you pray,

say: “Father, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Give us each

day our daily bread; and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive

every one who is indebted to us; and lead us not into temptation.”And he

said to them, “Which of you who has a friend will go to him at midnight

and say to him, `Friend, lend me three loaves; for a friend of mine has

arrived on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him'; and he will

answer from within, `Do not bother me; the door is now shut, and my

children are with me in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything'? I

tell you, though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his

friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him whatever

he needs. And I tell you, Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will

find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For every one who asks

receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be

opened. What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of

a fish give him a serpent; or if he asks for an egg, will give him a

scorpion? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your

children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to

those who ask him!”

Աղօթք բժշկութեան Աշխարհաբար՝ Տեր Աստուած մեր, փարատիր ցաւերն ու բժշկիր հիւանդութիւնները քո

ժողովրդից եւ շնորհիր բոլորին կատարեալ առողջութիւն՝ քո

ամենայաղթ խաչիդ նշանով, որով մարդկութեան տկարութիւնը կրեցիր

և դատապարտեցիր մեր կեանքի եւ փրկութեան թշնամուն: Դու ես մեր

կեանքն ու փրկութիւնը, բարերար եւ բազումողորմ Աստուած: Միայն

Դու կարող ես ներել մեր մեղքերը եւ մեզանից հեռացնել ախտերն ու հիւանդութիւնները, որին յայտնի են մեր կարիքները: Բարիքներ

պարգեւող, առատ ողորմութիւնդ պարգեւիր քո արարածներին՝ իւրաքանչիւրին ըստ իր կարիքի: Եւ նրանց միջոցով միշտ թող

գովաբանուի Ամենասուրբ Երրորդութիւնդ. այժմ, միշտ եւ յաւիտեանս

յաւիտենից: Ամէն:

PRAYERS FOR THE SICK Dispel the pains and heal the sickness of thy people, O Lord our God, and grant to

all perfect recovery by the sing of thy allvictorious Cross by which thou didst

remove the infirmity of mankind and didst condemn the enemy of our life and

salvation. Thou art our life and able to forgive our sins and dispel disease and

sickness; O Giver of good things, bestow Thy abundant mercy according to the

wants of each of thy creatures by whom the All Holy Trinity is ever glorified and

praised: Now and ever, world without end. Amen.

Today is the “Paregentan” of the fast of Advent

Actually, there is no “Advent” per se in the Armenian church calendar.

Rather, the approximately 50-day period preceding our Christmas is called

Heesnag (from the word for fifty, Heesoon). Hisnag contains a total of three

designated weeks of fasting -- aside from the usual Wednesday and Friday

fasts -- so unlike Great Lent it is not a continuous period of such discipline.

Bottom line: Our Hisnag, just as in the Western Church’s Advent, is a

beautiful time to prepare, body and soul, for the celebration of the birth of

our Savior, Jesus Christ. Focus on Scripture, being at church with your

Christian family, prayer, worship, fasting, and good works. elisea@armeniandiocese.org Department of Christian Education
