[quote author=ReturnOrthodoxy link=topic=13928.msg161562#msg161562 date=1354150560] For some comedy, I'd like to add what my church does year round (Easter, Christmas, Annual etc.) After Psalm 150, we have a wonderful array of: + O Pilgrim + How L…

u can say 'liturgy' (from greek), which is basically the same as 'mass' (from latin). in arabic, it is 'uddass', which is the egyptian pronunciation of 'quddas', meaning 'holy".

hi, so u are from the serbian church? :) welcome!
-
forgive me, i did not read all the posts, but 'night of the last supper' is good to sing during Holy Communion because people can understand it and can follow the tune. this way, they can use this song to worship God. in the end, it's about worshipi…

are you trying to work and study at the same time? may God guide you. do not fear anything in this world, God is in control.
-
not rude, just u will not be taking communion if u don't stay! i have been in churches before where visitors pop in and can't stay till the end. i didn't realise yr church started so late. by all means go to the coptic one. maybe it will be qawe's …

then don't go to the coptic church for Christmas!! the earliest i ever left church at Christmas was 1.30am. it is the second longest service outside of Pascha and Holy Week. thank God i was able to take annual leave for jan 7th...

hey, jg, how's it going? i'm sending a p.m. about communion hymns so i don't disrupt the thread. :)

interesting. our church values confession very much. if yr priest is not interested in hearing your confession, then maybe you should arrange to go for confession with the coptic priest before taking Holy Communion. i tried to do the 2 services in …
-
best thing is to go to vespers and ask the priest there at the end. or phone / email the priest first. if you go to confession regularly (with us it seems to average once a month although once in 3 months is not so unusual) and take Holy Communion i…

hi, can i call u anastasia for short? i 'know' u from the other forum, great to see u here, may God bless u. :) mabsoota (which means 'happy' in arabic. i am especially happy after church, eg now!) :) :)
-
well, having now discussed this with imikhail, i can conclude my discussion by saying that it is OO, but not one of those OO courses that seek to upset EO people. it is an official OO course, running with the full support of abba seraphim, and if t…
-
imikhail, i have sent a personal message, as i don't wish to discuss this publicly.
-
nice pictures of the pope! :)
-
try to discuss a little of it with your priest. tell him there are things you find hard to talk about because you are afraid he will think you are weird. we are all a little bit weird, each in our own way, but God loves us all.
-
may God give u all great peace and guidance. you enlighten us with your posts. may God bless u and remind u how great His love is.

sorry, got it mixed up. there is a translation of the words somewhere, i forget where, but the video of what i wanted to post is here:

soooooooo sorry, i meant to post the link! of course it is the one above. if u can't watch all of it, watch my favourite bit: it's only 5 1/2 mins and it shows the fantastic relationship between baba tawadros 2nd (ours) and patriarch theodore 2nd …

hi, can the first person to find a recording of the ceremony please post it here? we saw a little bit between baakar and the liturgy at church, and some of the interviews after, but i would love to see more! and did anyone in america stay up all ni…

wow, i have just read the story of father arseny, the russian orthodox priest and how God helped him when in a communist prison, years ago. really awesome. thanks for this beautiful blog. :)

am working... :'( i know it will be very good, by God's grace. :)

great answer! :)

it is good to turn to God with our problems. however you should go to confession if you have not taken Holy Communion for a while, because God instituted the church to administer the sacrements so that our spiritual health can be taken care off. yo…

do it for God. then if God wants to take it away from you straight after, you will be willing to accept. nothing is wasted if it is done for God. even if you have a pharmacy degree and God wills for you to work in cleaning, you can put to use the ta…
