Being that the pope prays for all his churches, the papal hymn (this being my opinion) could be sung at each liturgy. It isn't necessary for him to be present in the church to do so. I believe in the diocese in the states, they always mention the bi…

b) Is it right to be considered prayer that your spirit prays, but not your mind?
What do the church fathers tell us about praying with understanding (with your mind)?

Life without God has no meaning, especially after having had, of what you thought as (that is because you are now doubting), an experience with God.
I am sure, no matter what age you are, you've had an experience with God. Sit down, remember it. We…
“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will…

A lie is a lie. Abraham lied about Sarah out of goodness of heart. Yet, it was still a sin.
When it comes to fasting, theres no worries in telling someone you fast because they asked you. When referring to the fasting of scribes and pharisees, they…
Why? What good is coming from knowing such things?
Knowing good or bad things about someone is pointless. If someone does something good, his heart can still be corrupted. And hearing about bad things is pointless, whether fact or not - No matter w…

1- Tasbeha is prayed after the midnight hour, and so I agree that u wont be praying tasbeha an hour after liturgy.
2- If tasbeha was prayed in church in its regular hours and a bun…
So in the end it comes back to the father of confession. But the fact that someone tells u not to pray tasbeha because he did simply makes no sense... praying tasbeha twice in a row is a different case though...that comes back to the decision of one…
Sorry guys, but how is praying tasbeha twice wrong? In fact, monks have to pray tasbeha all together and then in their own cells also. Actually, tasbeha is not even obligatory for the liturgy...! Personally, tasbeha is just another form of agpeya, p…

---there is a story of a monk. One of his weaknesses was his sexual desires. He would fall in this regularly but he used to rise up and say "God I know I'm bad and I don't deserve to stand in the front of you, but if you help the righteous people, t…
