Prayers of Thanks
We convey our blessings to you on one of the most
meaningful observances of the year: Thanksgiving. How wonderful it is to live
in a country that sets aside this day, to express gratitude for the bounties
God has given us. The idea of giving thanks to God has deep roots in the
Armenian Christian tradition. Surely this year of 2015 has given our people a
special opportunity to reflect, with gratitude, on the unconquerable faith of
our holy martyrs, and on the noble legacy they bequeathed to us. Now
acknowledged as saints of the church, the martyrs reside in God's kingdom,
receiving our humble prayers of intercession.
This Thursday, as we remember the many good things in our
lives, let us also offer thanks for the greatest blessing of all, which gives
meaning and purpose to all the others. In the words of the Gospel of St. John:
“God so loved the world that He gave it His only Son.”
May the blessings of Thanksgiving, and the coming Advent
season, be with you and your loved ones always.
With prayers,
Archbishop Khajag Barsamian
Primate
