NURTURE YOUR LIVES WITH THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS: THAT IS THE WAY TO THE
VICTORY OF LIFE OVER DEATH, SAID ARAM I IN HIS EASTER SUNDAY SERMON

On Easter Sunday, His Holiness Aram I celebrated the Holy Liturgy;
Archbishop Komitas Ohanian and Bishop Shahé Panossian served at the Altar.

In his sermon, His Holiness addressed the large number of faithful in the
church and in the courtyard; he said: "The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is
the victory of life over death, and God’s gift to save fallen humanity from
its present physical and moral condition. Humanity should not destroy this
gift, which it is doing by destroying our forests, poisoning our atmosphere,
polluting our waters. Humanity should nurture it through a God-centered
life. It is our task to use our talents and gifts to sustain God’s purpose
and plans for humanity and the Creation.

He then greeted the leadership and people of Lebanon and commanded them for
their effort to continue reaffirming their vocation in making Lebanon the
country of love and co-existence.
