There are no easy lives and times for the elders, in the infinity of mortals, the elders themselves define their time and their activities, and their life and time is a difficult life, a difficult time. They circumscribe the time of their earthly life by recognizing the life and behavior of their ancestors as boundaries and boundary pillars.
Such was the life of Tumanyan, such were the lives of Venerable Komitas and Charents.
That's how Nerses the Great Ashtaraketsi lived and acted, that's how Vazgen the Great Venerable defined his life and filled it with national living content.
What an honest, bright and noble man he was, what a great Armenian, what an elder and master he was by birth. with his awake life you could lay your head on the pillow without worry, naive that water will not go under your house and play a conspiratorial sword on your head. His behavior and close presence made you tolerant of your ill-wishers, a friend of your tolerant and made you stand among the crowd of friends.
Rendering Caesar's things to Caesar and God's things to God, he never alienated them from each other, but brought them closer to him and united them in his grace, thus not alienating from the nation that which is the inalienable power of the nation, the national union.
With its forty-year reign, this tearing Earth, which endlessly splits and separates nations and peoples, divides unions, divides the present from the past, divides family and church, with its forty-year blessed kingdom, never deepened its abyss under our nation and homeland, and on the contrary, we have never, never before been so united and united.
Blessed be he who, following his example, as well as the example of our great ancestors, will be the council and symbol of the nation's unity, and with his domineering presence of a man, we will remain authoritatively proud, masculinely restrained, militarily curvaceous, as we were during the life of His Holiness, as the behavior and image of His Holiness were imposed on us.
