  • Joe the dotman, it is St Pidjmi. He only knew the Lords prayer.
  • St Sarapamon! Bonus: Sometime we do not know what prayers to pray, but there is a desert Saint that knew the Lord's prayer only . "I lived in the desert of scete. I knew no other prayers, but the Lord's . I recited it day and night. Identify me"&…
  • I do not have any great advice in store as I myself am in constant search of good advice. But allow me to qoute a paragrpah from Mother Irini's book that almost made a 'tough' guy like me tearful:The story may help you attain the virture of Patience…
  • Fr Peter,thanks.This is a brilliant idea. I have always believed the Lord hears ansd answers prayers we offer on behalf of others faster than when we ask Him for our own intentions. I will definately sign up. Is it good to make the prayer requests …
  • May the Lord help and have mercy on you! Will put your name tomorrow at 5:30am on the altar and be rest assured the attending angel will take it up with him to present it to the King of Peace to grant you the genuine peace that you need.
  • Fr Peter: Here is a BBC link that says the US and UK are key supporters! http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/3682828.stm Maybe ordinary folks oppose it,but where on earth do ordinary folks have a right to anything? For example,the present government…
  • ILSMark, thanks. What offence should a patriarch or pope commit in order to be lawfully removed from Office?  So far as I know, he should not commit the sin of adultery/forn or he should not teach heresy. Are these offences valid? To take the examp…

  • Fr Peter, thanks for the clarification.
  • Fr Peter, I have some questions that confuse me.If it is only a spritual relationship ;at least with the eritrean church; why is the Coptic church not recognizing the current Eritrean Patriarch? Why should it matter that the Eritrean Synod had viol…
  • Isnt the official title of HH Pope Shenouda  "Pope of Alexandria and Patriarch of all Africa on the Holy See of St. Mark the Apostle" Since both Eritrea and DEthiopia belong to the see of st Mark,isnt HH, by extension, their Pope as well? There is …
  • Thanks for sharing a nice joke ;) In case you want to visit China during the summer holidays, here is a brief guide how to catch a subway in china,allegedly the rising superpower ::)
  • The_least, Orthodox book store is a rip off! You end up paying more for postage than for an item. I do not understand their maths.I would not be surprised, if it is not a private business. If you are still looking for Agpeya, in the new king James…

  • Fr Peter and Mabsoota, I thank you so much for your nice story. It is amazing. I know people who came into Orthodoxy through friends, spouses and etc.However,someone who finds the true faith of our Lord on their own must be very blessed and chosen. …
  • Mark, I do not know much about the Armenian church. Thank you for the clarification, it makes sense.Though,I admire them  for their ability in creating resilient communities throughout their dwelling areas who were able to preserve and sustain their…
  • Dear Fr Peter, Can you share a little bit about HG Metrpolitan Seraphim's background, like whether he was born into Orthodox, how he decided to become a monk and serve the Lord?? How about your father, did he become Orthodox as well? Did any of you…
  • Anba Bola, thank you for this wonderful website. If we do not make use of it, we have no one,but only ourselves to blame.May God reward you and bless all your efforts.
  • Thank you Fr Peter for sharing this inspiring story. Clearly, God is/was in the details! mabsoota,aidan your stories are next ;)
  • Hi Joe, I think I remember your name .If my recollection serves me right, you were telling us about some activities you and others were undertaking towards the unity of the Orthodox faith.May God bless these services. Welcome back!

  • It is so interesting to note that all the great prophets of God {Job,David, Solomon(in proverbs),Jeremiah,etc} have asked themselves  similar questions that abanoub posed the other day. Just now, as I was browsing, I read the following meditation f…

  • Father,bless I have posted a reply from HG. I am not speaking my own opinion.
  • ilovesaintmark, Yes, I agree with that, but I meant  in relation to the offering of food as HG Bishop Youssef said " St. Paul answered this and said, there is no god other than the True God, so even if this meat if offered to other god, it is offer…
  • St Paul says " I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content" We should not be envious at the wealth ,lifestyle or fortune of our neighbours. Read Psalm 37, it has all the answers.
