2 Today s Gospel Mark 4:35-41 On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, Let us go across to the other side. And leaving the crowd, they took him with them, just as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him. And a great storm of wind arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was already filling. But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him and said to him, Teacher, do you not care if we perish? And he awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, Peace! Be still! and the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. He said to them, Why are you afraid? Have you no faith? And they were filled with awe, and said to one another, Who then is this, that even wind and sea obey him?

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.
