  • Todays Lectionary teaches us about: Resistance to False Teachers [center]Jude 1:22-23  And on some have compassion, making a distinction; but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire.[/center] It teaches us wisdom: Wisdom: Let Us Atten…

  • Dear +Marmar+ I think first u should follow the advice of Christ4Life and find out if your Muslim friend is really willing to hear the word of God, or if he is just looking for argument. Is he really sincere in his quest for knowlege.? Because whe…

  • [quote author=Father Peter link=topic=13024.msg153104#msg153104 date=1331799553] That is certainly true of Governmental Aid, and people in the UK are increasingly opposed to such aid. We have been sending aid to Pakistan, for instance, while it has …
  •         [center]-- “As so I desire to fix three precepts in your mind so that you may accomplish them during the fast: (1) to speak ill of no one, (2) to hold no one for an enemy, and (3) to expel from your mouth altogether the evil habit of swear…

  • Sounds like u need a 'get-away' a mini sabbatical of sorts. Are there any Monasterys or Monk priests you can visit? I find it very healing mentally to just sit in a holy place and listen to the sound of holiness. Taking a small Bible or a prayer bo…
  • There is so much suffering in this world! It is very difficult to remember to glory in our suffering for righteous; especially when it is Elders or children. It gives this Lenten Time even more importance. To defeat evil everywhere! God be with Pat…
  • Thank u Sheba and mogesash. That last post of the 'blog' is a miracle in itself! The video streams clearly and smoothly! Sorry my Amharic is too little. God bless

  • Thanks for your reply's minatasgeel. This question always comes to my mind during fasting times because when I was in Ethiopia; during the Christmas fast I found out about feasts for different saints. I remember the celebrations where all on the wee…
  • Excuse me, my question is being misunderstood. I'll try again. I have read about orthodox christians who keep the [u]feasts[/u] celebrating, commemorating, their patron saints on the corresponding day faithfully.  I was just wondering how they cele…
  • Lent Prayers: Penitential Prayer of St. Augustine O Lord, The house of my soul is narrow; enlarge it that you may enter in. It is ruinous, O repair it! It displeases Your sight. I confess it, I know. But who shall cleanse it, to whom shall …

  • Gosh! I have started the Lent Fast too early! I thought Lent had started already ?? :o I guess I needed that! Anyway, thanks for your 'concern'!

  • I love the perfection. How everything works together for good; edifying God!
  • user157, u can follow the sermons online. When u do not feel up to going to Church have Church at home. Don't stay away too long though. Remember Christ came for the sick, the discarded, the lowly and shed His precious blood so that they(we) could …
  • ......this is kind of off the subject, but I was reading the Wisdom of Solomon and came across this scripture which really made me think: 7:27-30  ---   [center]Though she is one, she can do all things; So while remaining in herself, she renews al…

  • Well, orthodox4ever,                               I think what our Saint fathers are telling us is that we have a crown and an eternal bond both in virginity and in marriage. Most times on this earth the crown and eternal bond of virginity is invi…
  • Nothing in this life is 'easy'. You will find trials and tribulations in Holy Matrimony, in Monasticism, Celibacy just in life period. The key is to find joy in God an unwavering joy that comes from faith.
