Priest Vahram Melikyan wrote:
"In his New Year's message, the Catholicos of All Armenians sent clear messages to all of us, both clergy and laymen, to everyone, regardless of rank and circumstance. Perhaps it is necessary to listen again, re-read. For example: "We are God's people, and "God is not a God of strife, but of peace," declares the Holy Book (I Cor. 14:33). Heaven-given peace, blessings, and graces in our lives remain constant through the display of love, forgiveness, and solidarity toward one another.
Indeed, God works in peace and love, and true love and inner peace become good for both the individual and the people," he says. On the way to search for real peace, perhaps we really need to stop and stop this widespread noise, restore inner harmony and listen to the voice of God, Who certainly does not want His children's cursed life, divisions, even more destruction. Let's let God truly work in us, let's trust in the Lord.
These processes, which do not come from the interests of the Motherland and the Mother Church, and are accompanied by contradictory justifications, which completely tear people's hearts and souls, hurt faith, destroy the value system, have nothing to do with God, His word and the Body of Christ, which is His Holy Church. There are heavenly realities that must be taken into account.
After all, the Church with all its responsibilities and duties is based on them. And it is worth thinking seriously about law and jurisdiction in this light."
