    SPECIAL PRAYER FOR THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA
    LORD, KEEP THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA
    SECURE AND STABLE


    Prayed the Prelate


    On Sunday, May 28, 2006, special prayers took place at all
    Western Prelacy Churches in celebration of the 88th anniversary of the
    independence of the Republic of Armenia.
    At Glendale's St. Mary's Church, His Eminence Archbishop Moushegh
    Mardirossian, Prelate, accompanied by Very Rev. Fr. Muron Aznikian and St.
    Mary's Pastors, offered special prayers and officiated over the blessing of
    the Armenian flag.
    Guided by the Holy Cross and accompanied by hymns, the flag was
    brought into the church by H.M.E.M. scouts, where the Prelate blessed it and
    offered blessings for the Republic of Armenia, and the Armenian people. The
    Prelate prayed, `Extend your hand, Oh Lord, and bless the Armenian people,
    our nation, and the Armenian Apostolic Church.'
    In his sermon, the Prelate reminded the faithful that this first
    Sunday after Ascension and the sixth Sunday of Eastertide is called Second
    Palm Sunday, and symbolizes the entering of Jesus into heaven and inheriting
    the heavenly kingdom. Thus, he prayed to the Almighty Lord to keep the
    reestablished Republic of Armenia secure and stable, and to grant wisdom to
    the leaders of our republic so that they may serve our people with honesty
    and integrity. May the Lord enhance and strengthen the courageous spirit of
    our commanders and troops that defend our nation, and bless and protect our
    people, nation, church, Artsakh, and the Diaspora.
    Following Holy Mass, requiem service was conducted for all the
    martyrs of our nation and people.
