He uses the greek txt from evlogimenos, followed by the standard coptic end "je efesmaro-out enje fi ethniou khen efran..."
So first is: Osanna to ejo David, palin to ejo David, je efesmaro-out...
Second: Osanna entis epsistis, palin entis epsistis…
A personal contemplation is how David used the actual sword of Goliath to defeat him, just like Christ used the weapon of the devil (death) against him to deliver us from the bondage of death and the devil.
EDIT: i just realised a simulair contemp…
You don't know how the other person will respond to sarcasm. You may comment in a sarcastic way about someone's looks, or something they said or did. If the person was being bullied in the past, or is insecure about the specific thing you commented …
The point of being Christian is to grow into the likeness of God, through the work of the Holy Spirit in us. As Saint Seraphim of Sarov said: our purpose is to be filled with the Holy Spirit.

There seems to be scientific consensus concerning the big bang, and therefore the universe actually DOES have a beginning. There must be a cause that brought time and matter into existince. We believe this cause is God.

I was actually talking to this lady from church the other day. We should combine all the experience in the egyptian kitchen and make a book of 55 good recipies for the siyam, so that we can have a different meal every day during the fast ;)
And i g…
During Lent the tune of Pi mai Romi can be used on the words for one of the doxology's (ti nistia), in the case that there's still time after psalm 150 and pi mai romi have been chanted.
Now, the rites of Jona are the same as the weekday rites of Le…

May God repose his soul in the bossoms of our fathers Abraham, Isaak and Jakob in the Paradise of joy, and offer all his relatives and friends comfort and strength.
Cymbals should be used to keep the rhytm. If it does more or less than that, it's not being used correctly!
If it distracts people, then this is not correct use. If it's used to show off, then it's not correct use.
I think enough has been said about…
Cymbals and triangel are merely instruments to keep the rhythm. They don't make actual tunes.
Another thing about the instruments in the OT, the musical worship was only done in the Temple, not in synagogues,
so when the apostles went to preach they…
We used the same response. I thought the psalm response was approved off by the H. Synod (was it included in Albair's new book?) and Psalm 150 always follows the same line sort off. At least in all other occasions I can think of at this moment. The …
In the Watos Psali of St Mary, she's called pan-agia (all holy) as well.
In the Saturday Theotokia we call her "holy in all things".
In the first watch of the midnight prayers of the Agpeya we say in the troparia (litanies):

You are right, wisdom is portrayed as a woman, but so is sin. According to a sermon I heard by Fr Antonios Fikry in his bible studies, the reason is that women give birth and feed their children. The same is true for sin, it brings forth sin and wan…
It's interesting to note that the wisdom fraction ends saying that God the Word is the Wisdom, who was from Eternity.
So whoever seeks wisdom, seeks the ultimate true Wisdom, Christ, who is described by St Paul as being the Wisdom of God (1Cor 1:24)…
Basically, God is the source for any good. So whatever good and love is done in the world, comes from God.
You don't have to be a believer in God to be able to participate in the life that God designed for man. We see many examples of that in daily …
Ur right Mina, i checked it. Muallim Farag omits a part way back in the beginning, he continues with "gi-me" straight away.
However i compared on coptichymns.net. Muallim Mikhail does it like M. Ibrahim and M. Gad.
Strange that the part that I thou…
