Within the context of my post I was using worrying and fear rather synonymously. Also, within the context of my post I was referring to worrying/fear in general ab…
Random fact: worrying is a sin!
Anyway, I know how you feel. I have a tendency to worry often as well. I have spoken about it with abouna a lot and have concluded that the root of fear and worrying is from the lack of faith and trust in God. If I t…

Have you read any of the early church fathers writings? We should not shy away from a confrontation, especially when they approached me.

A mission priest at a retreat told us it is our responsibility to plant the seed and God will water it. Its not necessary to argue and try to convince people of the Truth because we can not change peoples hearts only God can.
I am not disagreeing with you. Skepticism is important. However, for a video like this which does no harm in believing in it, why not give the glory to God? Also, just to clarify when I meant by truth I meant if the supposed miracle went against our…

John,
Thank you sooo much for the links! However, I wanted the Agpeya prayers(psalms included) sung. Its my fault I was not clear. Please forgive me!
Thanks for all your help.
Its here titled "This Censor".. Its the third one from the bottom under the category heading of "Annual Hymns"

Enjoy! :)
I am not sure if there would be a recording for that in English. It seems to me that the lyrics is just a literal translation from the arabic. It almost seems impossible to put that in the tune of the tarneema.
I have a very nice one of a large collection of saints in one picture.
I don't know how to post pictures on here so just pm me your email and I can send it to you if you (or anybody else) are interested :)
please pray for me

Have God bring her to you. A quote that I really love says "She must be so lost in HIM, that he must seek HIM in order to find her."
Take a look at this, it is very nice.
