My Lord, here I dedicate 2026 to You, as You blessed 2025. I know that You completed all the shortcomings, whether left by me or by this life. Help me to weave this year with Your light, so that I may gift it back to You at the end of the year.

As a delegate of the Catholicosate of Cilicia, participating in the WCC's 6th World Conference of the Faith and Order Commission was a moving experience. We gathered not to erase our beautiful diversity, but to build bridges of understanding and unity.

"For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Rom 8:38-39)
