Try calling this number (760) 257-1050, it is the number for the bookstore of St Antony's monastery here in California. If they have it, they will ship it to you and then you can send them the money or vice versa.

The monastery in California is great, I encourage you to go if you have a chance. The program is really nice and has a lot of quiet time for everyone to be able to meditate. Tasbeha starts at 4 and then liturgy usually from 6-8 except on weekends an…

the_least: I know what you meant by what you said; but lets assume you tell your father of confession, I have problems with sins of the tongue, and you move on. how would he know which sin you need help with (assuming you arent struggling with all o…

I dont think thats good or else I can go confess and tell abouna "I committed sins of the heart, body and mind, I sinned absolve me, bye" :) how convenient would that be its for the person's spiritual benefit to reveal every sin to his father of con…

Here is an advice for anyone that has dishnetwork, if you have the arabic package and want to add aghapy, call them and say that you cannot afford the dish anymore and you want to cancel (assuming you dont have a contract) and insist that you want t…

I did start, with God's grace, I can read coptic but I am at the stage where I need to learn the grammar rules so I can actually understand coptic while reading it. ophadece: I got your message, I will email you later on today on the email you provi…

No one knows? :)

what do you mean? to categorize similar sins as one sin? I believe that in confession it is really important to reveal every sin no matter how small it seems because once you reveal it, the devil will not tempt you with it as much. But if you keep i…

Prayer is the gate to heaven, pray fervently and unceasingly for god to guide you One of the fathers of the church said that whoever thinks he can repent without praying is deceived by the devil. The first and most important step is to pray and let …

If you guys have a chance, try to listen to this recording its by father Anastasi St Antony http://ancientfaith.com/podcasts/frederica/a_visit_with_a_coptic_monk/

I am still a beginner when it comes to the coptic language, so I didnt know and I know that you were not trying to attack me or sayedna. but this brings me to my question, what is the best way to learn coptic, to actually be able to read it correctl…

Regarding rumors, here is what I think: *If its a true rumor, then it isnt a rumor but a fact, so I thank god that he revealed my sins on earth so I can repent rather than revealing it on judgement day *If its a false rumor, then I thank god for giv…

From my poor sinful experience, if you see christ/saint mary but especially the lord jesus christ, No language would be sufficient in aiding you to describe what he looks like. As it says, what an eye has never seen nor ear heard, it is an experienc…

I am not an expert in the coptic language, so I was merely stating what was said in the book; but for clarification, Bishop Demetrious didnt explain the meaning of the word aftonf when it came to its theological meaning but thanks for the clarificat…

Thats great to hear and God will always guide you when you give him the permission to do so :) and above all, pray
-
As long as you confessed about it without deliberately saying that sin in a very low voice, then god will accept your confession. :) but dont make it a habit to say all the embarrassing sins in a low volume pray for me

Ask and it shall be given, knock and it will be opened to you Like marina008 said, start by praying that god gives you the wisdom and the comfort in the decision that you make. Ask for god's will to be revealed clearly A good question that you shou…

If I am not correct, I read recently a small booklet by Bishop Demetrious, bishop of Malawy Ansena and el ashmonen, the booklet was about the importance of the coptic language and in it was mentioned the meaning of the word aftonf and he said that a…

That is correct, during the holy fifty days, most of the hymns are substituted with resurrection hymns

Thats what I heard very recently from a monk that visited monasteries in Egypt and the US, he told me that if you were living in the US and wanted to become a monk that its much easier to join a monastery in the US because when you try to join a mon…

Knowing arabic would be a requirement only if you want to join a monastery in Egypt, but if you are thinking about a US monastery then it isnt a requirement. In regards to coptic, I dont know of any monastery that requires you to know coptic before …

This is a great topic that as some of you mentioned earlier is rarely discussed. Here are some of the limited information that I know and hopefully they address some of the earlier questions: 1) there are no minimum age requirement but there is an …
