"It is truly proper and right"
The Divine Liturgy of the Armenian Church has sustained the Armenian people
continuously for more than 1700 years. Our ancestors found stability
and hope in the regular celebration of the Badarak. Their faith in Christ
and their ability to persevere with courage, joy, and grace were nourished
by regularly receiving the miraculous medicine of life in Holy Communion.
Above all, they took to heart the opening words of the Eucharistic Prayer:
"It is truly proper and right with most earnest diligence always to
adore and glorify you, Father almighty" [29].
Like our blessed ancestors, the saints of the holy Armenian Church, let
us today make Almighty God the priority of our lives, worshiping Him and
receiving Him in the Divine Liturgy this Sunday and every Sunday until the
last day of our lives. To do so with all our heart, soul, and mind,
we will become beneficiaries of extraordinary riches in heaven and on earth.
We spend so much time, energy, and money investing in the few years we have
on this earth. Why not invest ourselves in the life which lasts for
eternity? After all, to do so is "truly proper and right."
