Last Saturday was the feast day of St. Nersess Shnorhali, a genius of the Armenian Church, who authored many of the hymns and prayers which continue to be said in our sanctuaries throughout the world.

As part of my personal regime, I’ve committed to praying his seminal work, Հաւատով խոստովանիմ or “I Confess with Faith”, once a day. Toward that goal I’ve formatted the text for my digital devices: the iPad, iPhone, and the Kindle.

Having this prayer with me at all times has allowed me to easily incorporate it into my daily schedule. When I find myself with 10 free minutes, I can just pull out the most convenient device and pray.

I hope that this prayer will enrich your prayer life as it has the faithful of the Armenian People for centuries.
