In this way you could say that the Armenian church has always been like a “recycle bin,” a “repurposing bin” for its people and for individuals. We come to church, confessing and putting aside our old sinful selves, and through communion with God, He recycles and repurposes us for a new week to do His will. I hope you will always remember and often pray with me a powerful silent prayer on p.45 in your pew books right before holy communion which captures this spirit: “Lord Impress upon us the graces of your Holy Spirit, as you did upon the holy apostles, who tasted it and became the cleansers of the whole world”. Cleansers of the whole world, what a calling and what an image, that by our faith, our hearts and deeds we are to help clean a world that is good but constantly soiled and in need of renewal.
