Yes he is, but saying "you can't do anything" to a person who asks a question about bringing someone back to God sounds a little rough. If I asked that question, that's n…
I came across him as well, he says he's "retired" from Orthodox Priesthood? :o Like many of you, I am confused. Though unlike Max Michel, who is against the Late Pope Shenouda, this guy says he respects Pope Shenouda and the church's bishops and pr…

Thank you! Our church doesn't say Anba Bakhomious' name in anything... don't know why lol ::) The Bishop of our diocese is Bishop Youssef... does that change anything?

Je Nai Nan,
Please my brother; Save a piece of your hair for me as my blessing when you depart to Heaven.

The thing is is that i was told by one of St. Mina's Monastery monks that a hair brush left behind by Pope Kyrillos is a source of his relics in the churches. It was kept by his disciple since the day of his passing, so authenticity is nothing to be…
Dont worry buddy :) we're on the same boat :) Trust me, thats why a father of confession is there for you, your post shows the uttermost and best example true repentance, now one more step to do: CONFESS IT! I felt like you once, broken away and sha…
So is it allowed today for a Coptic Orthodox person to own a small relic of his own for private veneration and blessing, or would it be against the Church?

Whenever someone envies us (beyehsedna), I'm always afraid something bad might happen next :( I pray with tears so God can help us, and protect us, but I'm still afraid. What can I do now ??

My Father of Confession always used to tell me: it isn't a sin to look at something pretty, its a sin if you stare.

I would rather be blind than have my eyes wandering in unholy places... I mean I try as hard as I can, most times I win, but other times the devil wins and I commit sin :( Its so hard especially at this age with puberty and what not :P
