ACUS A MEMBERS VISIT THE ARMENIAN ELDERLY

The Armenian Church’s University Students Association (ACUSA) paid a visit
on February 3 to the National Elderly Home, creating enthusiasm in the
Armenian elderly sheltered there. The visit to this institution has become
part of ACUSA’s annual program.

ACUSA members visited "KAHL" with their spiritual adviser, Rev. Fr. Mesrob
Sarkissian, who conveyed His Holiness Aram I’s greetings and blessings to
the Armenian elderly. The visit lasted over two hours, during which ACUSA
members entertained the elderly, at the same time having the opportunity to
benefit from their life experience.

Armenian university students took a short break that day from their heavy
daily agenda to take a lesson about life from their elderly hosts, who
shared with them their painful as well as joyous experiences. The visit
presented an opportunity for spiritual renewal and an appreciation of the
obligation to attend to the needs of the nation. ACUSA members returned home
with great self-satisfaction ready to return on their next visit.

ACUSA was founded several years ago with the blessings of His Holiness Aram
I and serves under the patronage of the Catholicosate of Cilicia. Its
headquarters is located in Antelias.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
