COMMEMORATION OF HOLY WEDNESDAY
LET US BELONG TO THOSE WHO LOVE JESUS
DECLARED THE PRELATE
In accordance with our church calendar, on Holy Wednesday we
commemorate the betrayal of Jesus by Judas and the anointing of His feet.
H.E. Archbishop Moushegh Mardirossian, Prelate, presided over
Holy Wednesday services at St. Mary's Church in Glendale, with the
participation of Prelacy clergy.
In his message the Prelate stated that in Jerusalem there were
those who hated Jesus and conspired with Judas against Him, while in Bethany
those who loved Jesus gathered around Him and enjoyed dinner during which
His head and feet were anointed which symbolized His burial. The people of
the day were divided into two groups, those who loved Him and those who
despised Him, said the Prelate, and posed the question of which group do we
belong to. The Prelate continued stressing that today we are granted
another opportunity to repent, to free ourselves from sin, and to belong to
the group that loves Jesus, and concluded by beseeching God to guide our
path with His Holy Spirit during Holy Week and always.
