Wednesday, July 30 : Saint Nerses Chnorhali
While looking for your pearl I never set myself as this merchant; I have not, in exchange for the inexchangeable, Given away the love of the ephemeral. I have not sold, according to the commandment, Earthly concupiscence, In order to acquire that which is a higher price: The morning star, born of dew. O you who was born from the Virgin in the manner of the pearl, God and man, the two forming only one, Does all in your divine love I am the beggar with wounded heart! Open my nuptial chamber, I who longs; Enter the apartment with the affection of the heart; Give me your dwelling again And kiss me at your right hand.
