DURING THE COMMEMORATION OF THE TEN MAIDENS
THE LORD INVITES US TO ALWAYS BE READY
AS THE WISE MAIDENS WERE
DECLARED THE PRELATE
In accordance with our church calendar, Holy Tuesday is
dedicated to the parable of the Ten Maidens which teaches the faithful to be
ready and prepared at all times.
Evening services took place in all Prelacy churches for this
occasion on Tuesday, April 3rd. H.E. Archbishop Moushegh Mardirossian,
Prelate, presided over services at St. Mary’s Church in Glendale.
In his message the Prelate states, "The message today is to live
a balanced life and to live wisely. Just as the Bible tells us how God
saved Noah for living righteously, our Lord Jesus Christ invites us to be
ready like the wise maidens." Addressing the ten Sunday School students who
represented the maidens in the parable the Prelate said, "Today you
represent all of us. Through this service we are reminded to be prepared in
the example of the wise maidens and to live a virtuous life armed with true
faith."
The Prelate highly commended the students and directors of the
Sunday School and concluded the service with the Lord’s prayer.
