Standing Together in Prayer - Conception of the Holy Virgin Mary by St. Anne (Maronite and Armenian Orthodox Churches)

“The LORD sends poverty and wealth; he humbles and he exalts” (1 Samuel 2:7)

My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, Mine horn is exalted in the LORD: My mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; Because I rejoice in thy salvation. There is none holy as the LORD: For there is none beside thee: Neither is there any rock like our God. Talk no more so exceeding proudly; Let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: For the LORD is a God of knowledge, And by him actions are weighed” (from the Prayer of Hannah, the mother of Samuel the Prophet, in the Old Testament).
