Let us learn from Mary how to live our faith
“When I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to myself, that where I am, there you may be
also” (John 14:3).
“Mary is the pledge of the fulfilment of Christ's promise” (Pope John Paul II)
“Her Assumption thus becomes for us a sign of sure hope and consolation.” (Lumen Gentium)
If we want to understand ourselves we must consider this within an all-encompassing framwork of life and
death. Indeed we cannot understand life without taking its end into consideration. In fact we live to die, and
Christian wisdom tells us to remember our death: memento mori. “There is for all mankind one entrance into
life, and a common departure” as we read in Wisdom 7:6.
Religiously oriented people experience a sense of limitation in connection with tragic reflection on the
unknown and hidden future of their own lives.
It is to this experience that St Paul alludes in his letter to the Thessalonians when he says that God comes by
night: “The day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night” (5:1).This means that the possibility of death is
immanent and always present within the limited scope of our human potential, and man cannot escape this
moment. But St Paul encourages his Christian fellows by saying that in the face of this gloomy reality they are
not in darkness, for they are all sons of light and sons of day.Thus: “Since we belong to the day, let us be sober
and put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation”.
To be sober is an essential quality of man because it keeps reason unclouded by passion, and sobriety is connected to fortitude and temperance, and “strength of mind rests in sobriety” (Pythagoras).
A Christian must be a person of faith who accepts life as a gift given by God and therefore accepts also as a
natural consequence of this to be also a living witness of the active presence of God in the world. Seen thus,
then, the life of man is nothing but a continuous praising of God. Just like Mary, he too understands and experiences the ineffable joy that the presence of God offers to man: “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit
rejoices in God my Savior” (Luke 1:46).
Acting and living in this way, a person finds in God the meaning of life and keeps himself awake, sober, full of
love and eager to be continuously with God, repeating the beautiful words of the psalmist:
O God,Thou art my God, I seek Thee
my soul thirsts for Thee
my flesh faints for Thee
as in a dry and weary land where no water is. ...
Thy steadfast love is better than life.
My mouth praises Thee with joyful lip,
when I think of Thee upon my bed,
and meditate on Thee in the watches of the night.
Jesus told us about God as our Father who is in heaven, and also that we must be as perfect as our Father who
is heaven.Therefore we must put to death what is earthly in us, all our evil desires as St Paul says (Col 3:5),
and live a life of a stranger to this world, not only because we have here on this earth no permanent dwelling,
but because now during our daily lives we are called upon to face every kind of circumstance, as did Jesus:
deeply grounded on the earth but never forgetting the heavens. St Paul gives us a point to reflect on: “If then
you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of
God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life
is hid with Christ in God.When Christ, who is our life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory”
(Col. 3:1-4).
If we avoid or ignore considering our end, we are not being fair to ourselves.When the time of Jesus' earthly
life was approaching its end He openly said to His disciples “I am going to Him who sent Me”. At this, sorrow
filled the hearts of His disciples, so Jesus said to them “So you have sorrow now, but I will see you again and

your hearts will rejoice” (John 16), “and I will take you to Myself, that where I am you may be also” (John
14).This is the true vocation of man: to be ready and worthy to embrace and to possess this glorious end in an
intimate life with Jesus, our Lord and Saviour.The way for us pilgrims to reach this our final destination and
to be with our Father who is in heaven is Jesus, who told us, full of love “I am the way, and the truth, and the
life; no one comes to the Father, but by me.” (John 14) .
A Christian is one who walks constantly strengthened by the gift of faith, hope and charity, by imitating Jesus,
in whom alone we have the true peace, even among many tribulations, as He told us “Be of good cheer, I have
overcome the world (John 16:33).
Mary, the Mother of Jesus is also our mother. She was so profoundly united to her Son during His earthly life
that she had almost the same thoughts and the same feelings of joy and sorrows. She heard the beautiful greetings of the angel “Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you...you have found favor with God...you will
conceive a son...He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High...The Holy Spirit will come
upon you and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called
holy, the Son of God” (Luke 1:26). She accepted humbly to be the handmaid of the Lord and said: “Let it be
to me according to your word” (Luke 1:38).
Mary heard also the painful and troubling words of Simeon when she brought her child Jesus into the Temple,
to do for Him according to the custom of the law: “Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising of many in
Israel...and a sword will pierce through your own soul also” (Luke 2:32-35). And after being lost for three days,
when the twelve-year- old Jesus, was found in the temple, He told his parents who were looking for him anxiously, “How is that you sought me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?" And they did
not understand the saying which He spoke to them. But Mary, “His mother kept all these things in her heart”
(Luke 2:51).
Mary was also the instigator of Jesus' first miracle during the marriage at Cana in Galilee.When she noticed
that the wine had given out she said to Jesus, “They have no wine”, and despite Jesus' hesitation she said to the
servants, “Do whatever He tells you” (John 2:3), and Jesus performed His first miracle, changing water into
wine. Lastly, we find her standing by the Cross of Jesus. John the beloved disciple of Jesus describes this emotional and in itself also very eloquent scene with this words: “When Jesus saw His mother, and the disciple
whom He loved standing near, He said to His mother, 'Woman, behold, your son'.Then He said to the disciple, 'Behold, your mother'. And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home” (John 19:25). From
that moment on, Mary became the mother of all those who believe in Jesus and she encourages them to continue to walk along the way that she took as the first step in her faith.The words addressed by the crucified
Lord to His disciple-to John and through him to all who follow Jesus: “Behold, your mother!” (John 19:27)are fulfilled anew in every generation. Mary has truly become the Mother of all believers. (Pope Benedict
XVI: Deus Caritas est 42).
After the Resurrection and the Ascension of Jesus we find Mary with the apostles in Jerusalem, in the upper
room where the apostles used to stay “together with the women and Mary, the mother of Jesus” (Acts 1:14).
Mary, a silent but full participant, stayed with her Son until the end. And, as Christ “has been raised from the
dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep” (1 Cor.15:20), He lives now with His real body, in the
mystery of the Trinity.This Jesus made His Mother a participant of this fullness of life by receiving her body
and soul into Paradise.With her Assumption into heaven Mary precedes us with her real body in the glory of
Paradise, the heavenly kingdom that our heart longs for.
Mary's Assumption is a day of hope and of light, because all men and women, as pilgrims on earth, are able to
foresee in Mary the glorious destiny that awaits them.We look to her as a sign of sure hope. Indeed, in Mary,
God's promise to the humble and righteous is fulfilled: Evil and death will not have the last word.

The Christian Way of Life in the First Century
and in the Twenty-First Century
By Mitchell Kalpakgian
In the ancient classical world during the first century, the Christian way of life differed dramatically from
the pagan practices of the day. In “The Epistle of Mathetes to Diognetus,” the author notices that the
early Christians possess a “wonderful and confessedly striking method of life.” Unlike pagans who abandon
their sick or unwanted children to die in the mountains, these early Christians “do not destroy their offspring.” Unlike pagans who do not honor the holiness of marriage, Christians “have a common table,
but not a common bed.” Unlike the worldly who worship the belly and live only for pleasure, Christians
“are in the flesh, but they do not live after the flesh.” Unlike pagans whose idea of morality demands the
revenge and violence of war, Christians do not return evil for evil: “they are reviled, and bless; they are
insulted, and repay the insult with honor; they do good, yet are punished as evil doers.”Whereas pagans
obey the laws of kings to escape punishment, Christians practice a moral code based on supernatural
charity that exceeds the letter of the law: they “surpass the laws by their lives.” These early Christians
enjoy a simple, modest existence without the ambition of gaining wealth, yet they live abundant lives:
“They are poor, yet make many rich.”These are some of the praises the early Christians inspired by their
holy lives of purity, charity, and imitation of Christ.
If “The Epistle of Mathetes” were to be written today, would he recognize Christians for their noble,
heroic, unworldly lives of sacrifice and generosity? He would be shocked that a Christian America and
Europe have legalized the killing of babies when the early Christians saved babies and did not “destroy
their offspring.” Mathetes would be horrified that modern Christian nations violate the holiness of
marriage with widespread contraception, divorce, cohabitation, and same-sex unions when the early
Christians honored marriage as an indissoluble union and sacrament instituted by God who made them
male and female. Mathetes would not recognize Christian societies today because of the consumerism,
greed, and usury that destroy the ideal of moderation and simplicity practiced in the first century.When
these Christians lived the Beatitude “Blessed are the poor in spirit,” they were not spoiled by affluence
or dominated by avarice: “They are poor, but they make many rich.”Their charity knew no limits.Today
the rich make many poor by prices and interest rates that amount to usury.Their greed knows no limits.
Mathetes would notice that Christian nations turn to the violence of war as easily as the ancient Greeks
and Trojans who fought the Trojan War. Instead of being guided by a higher moral code based on the
theory of “the just war” or forgiveness that surpasses the vengeance of primitive societies, modern
Christian societies act for the sake of empire or in revenge like the barbarians of the ancient world as
the unjust wars in Iraq and Afghanistan illustrate.
The mark of the Christian, then, is a life according to the highest moral standards-not the lowest common
denominator. Christians “surpass the laws by their lives” as Mathetes said.They do more than the minimum.
They know that God's laws are higher than man-made laws.They know that what is legal is not always
moral.They know that while fashions, opinions, and governments change, the truth does not change and
must be followed whether it is in season or out of season, in fashion or out of style.

Koutoujian unanimously picked for Waltham Woman of Year
By Joyce Kelly - Daily News Staff
Waltham - Cornelia “Connie”Cassidy Koutoujian has a simple formula for giving: “if I see something that
needs to be done, or a way I can help, I do it.”
“That’s the way I was brought up, and that’s the way I live my life,” said Koutoujian, who was named
Waltham’s Woman of the year by the Women’s Action Alliance of Waltham at a dinner at the American
legion on Waverly Oaks Road on May 13.
The women who unanimously voted 72 year old Koutoujian the honor describe her as one who is
everywhere, volunteering at events and organizations around the city. She’s been doing it for decades. Just
trying to name her long list of good deeds and involvement seemed to exhaust them.
“She’s done a lot for the community, and she’s been doing it for a very long time. Her name always came up,
she’s always involved in so many things, working for things she believes in,” said Angelina “Angie” Doucette,
alliance president.
Mayor Jeanette McCarthy bestow Her with a proclamation, in presence of her son, state Rep. Peter
Koutoujian.
On behalf of Fr. Raphaël, the Parish Council, Ladies Auxiliary and all the Parishioners, we congratulate
Connie on her award.

Pilgrimage to St. Joseph Oratory, Montreal, Canada
On Memorial Day weekend a group of thirty-six parishioners from Holy Cross Armenian Catholic Church
led by Father Raphael and Harout Sajonian completed a pilgrimage to the St. Joseph Oratory in Montreal,
one of the National Historic Sites of Canada.
St. Joseph Oratory is a world famous basilica.Visitors must climb more than 280 steps to get to the basilica's
main entrance. However, there is a separate staircase of 99 steps which is set aside for pilgrims who wish to
climb on their knees.This place has been known to have a kind of healing power, and many pilgrims (handicapped, blind, ill, etc.) have been cured here. On display in the basilica is a wall covered with thousands of
crutches from those who came to this place and were healed.
The Oratory is the third largest of its kind in the world, after the Basilica of Our Lady of Peace of
Yamoussoukro in the Ivory Coast and Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome.The church is the largest in Canada.
The Holy Cross parishioners got acquainted with the remarkable history of this place and learned about
Brother André.We learned that Brother André, as a very dedicated religious man, took care of the sick and
lonely and became well known throughout the Roman Catholic community for his caring attitude. In 1904,
he built a small chapel near the college where he could receive those in need. He implored them to pray to
St. Joseph, who would hear their pleas and address their illnesses and sorrow.The pilgrims he attracted outgrew the little chapel, so a larger church - called the crypt - was built in 1917. It seated 1,000. Soon, the
crypt was also too small, so in 1924 the construction of a great basilica commenced.The project wasn't finished until 1967. Brother André also demanded that the basilica be named after St. Joseph, to whom he
attributed all the miracles he had performed.
Brother André died in 1937, at the age of 91. Our parishioners visited his body laid in a tomb built below
the Oratory's Main Chapel. His heart is placed in a reliquary in the church museum. He requested that the
heart be kept in the basilica, so it will provide protection for the building and the people that enter.We visited the museum and gave our tribute to a holy man, who will be canonized on October 17, 2010.
The superintendent of the Oratory gave Holy Cross parishioners permission to have our Badarak in one of
the chapels of this holy place. Our chorus, under the direction of Jack Bekarian, sounded great. Father
Raphael performed the Armenian service and had an appealing karoz. He congratulated us for achieving our
goal and completing the pilgrimage. He emphasized how important it is for a believer to accomplish such a
journey. He reminded us that May is the month of Mary, Mother of God, and that is whom we are thankful
to for the success of our pilgrimage. Sister Serena sang a traditional song of pilgrims at a holy place.We all
were very moved.
In an especially fine atmosphere we spent the rest of the time, celebrating by feasting and dancing together
until the late hours. Even though the age of parishioners varied from twenty-one to ninety years old, the
group was amazingly bonded. Although the schedule was full of activities there were no tardiness or challenges for the coordinator.
Harout Sajonian thoroughly scheduled the time of the trip and all sightseeing and events. He considered
every possible desire during the trip, and conducted it in a very organized manner.The dinners were always
in culturally familiar places and delicious. In addition, we discovered how entertaining Deacon Harout and
our driver Peter can be. Marcel Karian, as always, was working hard on recording this trip.
Another pleasant discovery for some of us was the energy of ninety-year-old parishioner Joseph
Charchaflieh. It was enjoyable to observe how the youngest of our group, Mané, was attracted to communicate with Sister Cecile, Sister Aghvita, Sister Serena and other older members of the group.
Not only Mané, but many of us enjoyed the interaction with members in this group and gained much wisdom from this trip.

The Ladies Auxiliary of the Holy Cross Armenian Catholic Church is happy to announce their 7th
consecutive year sponsorship of an orphan - Tigran Avakian - through the Armenian Apostolic Church of
America.This program supports over 1000 orphans in Armenia many of whom lost their fathers during the
Artsakh struggle.
We wish a speedy recovery to Ralph Koumjian & Joseph DerTorossian, both very active members of our
Parish. May God always watch over them.
