Արմէն խորհուրդ

Աստուած, գաւեա զիս զմեղաւորս, is an original translation of words spoken by Jesus Christ. It is not just a request for mercy, it is asking for his sacrificial love in crucifixion. Like Jesus prayer it may be repeated until you sense his holiness. I have had a sense of St. Mesrop Mashtots, only within 10 minutes of praying this prayer. It is a prayer spoken by Jesus Christ translated with brilliance and divine understanding of crucifixion and salvation. Գաւեա implies crucifixion, not only in meaning but also in the word itself, since գարնուկ or գար is lamb. Ողորմեա implies mercy and kindness, not sacrifice. St. Mesrop knew this and translated this prayer this way intentionally as a holy prophetic prayer of Christ, pointing to his own crucifixion, the crucifixion of the Lamb of God.
