Novena for the deliverance of the Armenian people
Please pray with the Armenian Catholic Eparchy of Our Lady of Nareg, led by Bp. Mikael Mouradian, for the total deliverance of the Armenians in Artsakh being attacked and starved to death.
Why Join?
Azerbaijan is now attacking the Republic of Artsakh.
Since becoming the first Catholic, thus the first Christian nation in 301 AD, the Armenians have lived and died for their faith in Christ. Most notably, they have suffered waves of genocide for their faith with the most memorable recent episode being the murder of 1.5 million Christian Armenians living in Turkey by Turkish Muslims in the years 1915-17.
Sadly, this history of persecution has continued and currently 120,000 Armenians in the Republic of Artsakh have been blockaded since December 2022 and are being starved to death by Azerbaijani Muslim forces. The President of Turkey, an ally and supporter of Azerbaijan, has publicly stated they are completing what their grandfathers started, or in otherwords the genocide of the Christian Armenians.
The situation is dire and the Armenians in Artsakh need heavenly succor, material support, and deliverance, and all involved need conversion in Christ!
Praying this perpetual Novena and fasting is an important way to plea to God to help the Armenians and their persecutors to know Christ and His peace. Thank you for your immediate help in this way.
Please pray the Novena calling on the Blessed Mother, St. Gregory of Narek, and the Holy Spirit to come to their aid.
We must pray! From Acts 12: 5 :
Peter thus was being kept in prison, but prayer was made without ceasing by the Church to God for him.
The Program
Every day for 9 days you will receive:
- A quote from scriptures 📖
