  • Im not a hundred percent but I believe the blood is like the coal that touches Isaiah's lips in chapter 6 I don't remember Abouna explaining anything other than that lol sorry my answer just consisted of what Abouna said
  • Wow thank you Father Peter. That makes a lot of sense, when I was told not to do mentanias the reason said was just because we are in a joyful period and that didn't seem to click to much in my head haha thanks again and please pray for my weakness

  • Thank you and God bless you all for your answers, this is true that I struggle with prayer, in fact I struggle with it everyday! I guess I had expectations that are not fullfilled and my continued failure at prayer well it has just become exhausting…
  • Hi CopticStrength, my is advice is that it would be best to memorize psalms (if you have not already) and in any difficult situation you can recite them this will help you spiritually and draw you away from the situation. i went through this proble…
  • Thank you both! And by the way unworthy1 I hope your memorization of this verse helps you I found it at the begining of my "journey" I guess you could call it and I found it very profound thanks and God bless :)

  • thank you in honesty I am more worried about my service than education it is more important to me - by the way I want to clarify just for future reference (not that I took offense to anything) but I realize how the mistake could have been made since…
