    CATHOLICOS ARAM I MEETS WITH FAITHFUL ARMENIAN WOMEN

    Over 150 Armenian women, who attend the weekly prayer sessions in Antelias,
    visited Catholicos Aram I in the hall of the Veharan.

    The first part of the meeting, which was organized by Catholicosate's
    Christian Education Department, was dedicated to hymns and prayers. The
    women, who had brought companions with them on this special occasion
    increasing the total number of the group to about 200, sang hymns following
    the guidance of Fr. Torkom Donoyian and read specially chosen prayers.

    During the second part of the meeting, Fr. Donoyian invited Catholicos Aram
    I to deliver his Pontifical address to the faithful Armenian women, who come
    to Antelias every Tuesday to engage in spiritual contemplation.

    In his talk, the Pontiff focused on phenomena which may be rooted in our
    lives and hence direct our lives in one way or the other. He presented the
    viewpoints of our forefathers on sin and on ways to avoid sin and called on
    everyone to flourish the life of our church. Finally, the Catholicos
    stressed that the Church should not only be in a position to give order, but
    should also listen. In this respect, he gave the attendants the opportunity
    to present proposals and ideas for reforms. The women in turn presented
    their proposals and viewpoints on introducing novelty to the spiritual
    contemplation sessions next year.
