2 Today s Gospel Matthew 18:10-14 See that you do not despise one of these little ones; for I tell you that in heaven their angels always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven. What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety nine on the hills and go in search of the one that went astray? And if he finds it, truly, I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety nine that never went astray. So it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.

12 Badaracen #ydo3 Ygy.yxien Tovrs Calov +amanag On Leaving the Sanctuary After Divine Liturgy When approaching the Holy Gospel at the end of the Divine Liturgy you say: Յիշեսցէ Տէր զամենայն Պատարագս քո: May the Lord remember all your sacrifices. The Priest answers: Տացէ քեզ Տէր ըստ սրտի քում եւ զամենայն խորհուրդս քո ի բարիս նա կատարեսցէ: Datseh kez Der usd srdee koom yev zamenayn khorhoortus koh ee parees na gadarestseh. May the Lord grant you according to your own heart, and fulfill all your desires. (Psalm 20:4) When taking Mahs the GIVER says: Մաս եւ բաժին եղիցի քեզ ի Սուրբ Պատարագէս: Mahs yev pazheen yegheetsee kez ee Soorp Badarakes. May this be to you a share and portion of the Holy Sacrifice. The RECEIVER says: Բաժին իմ Աստուած յաւիտեան: Pahjeen eem Asdvadz haveedyan. My portion is God forever. The Kiss of Peace Kreesdos ee mech mer haydnetsav. The GIVER says: Christ is revealed amongst us. Orhnyal eh haydnootyoonun Kreesdosee. The RECEIVER says: Blessed is the revelation of Christ. Քրիստոս ի մէջ մեր յայտնեցաւ: / Օրհնեալ է յայտնութիւնն Քրիստոսի: The Psalm of Dismissal - Psalm 34 Օրհնեցից ըզտէր յամենայն ժամ, յամենայն ժամ, oրհնութիւն նորա ի բերան իմ: Orhnetseets uzder hamenayn zham, hamenayn zham orhnootyoon nora ee peran eem. I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise shall be at all times in my mouth.
