"May every human entity realize from now on, once and for all, that it is and exists in this world to live, for eternity, in the Holiness of God Himself. In the Holiness desired for all of us, which is that of God, one and triune. The Holiness of Christ and of His Most Holy Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary, are for each of us, their beloved children.

Because the time has come. Because the times are fulfilled. Those offered to us to convert …More
Three hundred and fifty years ago, on February 7, 1676, the Servant of God Mekhitar was born—described by Pope Paul VI as “the glory of the Armenian Church, a maker of unity and peace.”[1] As the founder of one of the most luminous spiritual and cultural revivals in Armenian history, Mekhitar left an indelible mark on the faith of his people.

“God did it”: Austin Applebee, 13, swam for nearly four hours in the open ocean off the coast of Western Australia to get help for his mother and two younger siblings, who had been swept out to sea while kayaking and paddleboarding. Battling strong currents and freezing water, he swam far beyond what most trained adults could endure. He says that he prayed constantly until he reached the shore: "I don't think it was actually me swimming... It was God the whole time. I kept praying, I kept praying. I told God I would get baptised."
