In the book, the Catholicos refers to the new reality, of our times, which is moving towards a different socio-political balance, where humanity is looking for a peaceful coexistence without war. In this context, the Holy Father emphasizes the preservation of the image of the Armenian people, and the development of individual and collective virtues, because "victories are won by image" on the battlefield and in other fields. Examining the history of the Armenian people in the article "Khrimyan Hayrik as a teacher", the author urges us to realize that it is not a summary of the events that happened in the distant past, but a textbook enriching our national life experience, from which we should learn. Today, when humanity is madly thrown into a terrible war, when death and destruction march from horizon to horizon, when thousand-year-old principles and values are falling into the abyss, Vazgen the First sobers up and guides. "The life raft will come from within."
