A Living Hope: Bishop Mesrop’s Easter Message

In his Easter message, Diocesan Primate Bishop Mesrop Parsamyan considers Christ’s Resurrection, and sees in it a “Living Hope” that that gives meaning to history—and to our own lives.

Bishop Mesrop writes: “Christ’s Resurrection is the cornerstone of our faith: the beacon of hope that illuminates life in the darkest of times. It’s the divine assurance that there is always the promise of renewal and redemption—no matter what we face in this life.”

“When you’re struggling with your job; when you’re facing challenges in your relationships; when you’re battling illness or despair—at every low and high point in life, the power of Christ’s resurrection is a constant source of strength, hope, and new beginnings.”

“The real question every human being must face,” the Primate affirms, “is whether or not to accept the power of the Resurrection, by accepting Christ’s sacrifice.”
