Fr. Garabed Telfeyan
Reflecting on Christ’s Transfiguration and the imagery of light in John’s Gospel, Fr. Garabed teaches that God lovingly invites rather than coerces. Christians are called to use their free will to believe in Christ, enter the light, unite as the Church, and recognize Jesus as the divine Son who died and rose for humanity.

Father Garabed Telfayan
On Holy Thursday, the preacher reflects on the Last Supper, the washing of the feet, and the institution of Holy Communion. He explains how Christ, the creator of the universe, humbled himself to wash his disciples' feet, and how believers are called to partake of Christ not only through the sacrament of communion but also through the mind (hearing the Word) and the heart (love and compassion). He connects Christ's "unless" statements to the foundations of church sacraments and urges self-examination against betrayal.
