THE LORD'S PRAYER
 He was praying in a certain place, and when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples." And he said to them, "When you pray, say:
 
"Father, hallowed by thy name. Thy kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread; and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive every one who is indebted to us; and lead us not into temptation."

And he said to them, "Which of you who has a friend will go to him at midnight and say to him, 'Friend, lend me three loaves, for a friend of mine has arrived on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him; and he will answer from within, 'Do not bother me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything' I tell you, though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him whatever he needs.”

SEEKING SPONSORS FOR ORPHANS OF ARTSAKH HEROES AND MARTYRS

We still have 120 orphans of soldiers who died heroically during the Artsakh war in the waiting list of the Eastern Prelacy’s St. Nerses the Great Organization in Armenia. We are grateful to all our sponsors, both individuals and institutions, who make their annual contribution of $250 per child and support our efforts. When you contribute an amount that would buy less than a cup of coffee per day, you alleviate the financial burdens of the recipient and his or her family, but also boost their morale and make them feel that they are not alone. It is with this spirit that we are looking forward to finding new sponsors.
