Saint Gregory of Narek, a monk of the tenth century, knew how to express the sentiments of your people more than anyone. He gave voice to the cry, which became a prayer, of a sinful and sorrowful humanity, oppressed by the anguish of its powerlessness, but illuminated by the splendor of God\u2019s love and open to the hope of his salvific intervention, which is capable of transforming all things. \u201cThrough his strength I wait with certain expectation believing with unwavering hope that\u2026 I shall be saved by the Lord\u2019s mighty hand and\u2026 that I will see the Lord himself in his mercy and compassion and receive the legacy of heaven\u201d<\/p>\n
