I ask you my beloved, do good with all humanity.
I ask my beloved children, do not let the world deceive you.
I ask you my beloved children, do not fall short or “be not eager” in the service of the Lord.
I ask you my beloved children, to pray without ceasing and tirelessly.
I ask you o my beloved children, preserve your tongues from causing any division.
I ask of you my beloved children, to preserve the Holy Baptism that was granted to you.
I ask of you my beloved children, preserve your body pure for the Lord.
I ask of you my beloved children, do not ever lamp weaken without light.
I ask of you my beloved children, preserve the commandments that God gave to you.
I ask of you my beloved children, that the fear of God be within you.

God is witness, my beloved children, that I did not keep any of God’s words from away you…that I never ever slept my children, and be blamed by any one of you…that if you preserve and keep what I have told you, you will crush the head of the serpent and dragon. So hence, if you preserve and keep what I have said to you, you will eat of the goodness of the earth. So hence, if you preserve and keep what I have said to you, the shinning Cherubim will guard you. So hence, if you preserve and keep what I have said to you, you will never lack of the Heavenly gifts.

I ask of you my beloved children, to ask of Christ for my soul, that it may have comfort in front of Him, and do not count my short falls, unknowingly and unwillingly. (Then he directs his talks to the Bishops, clergy and priests) I ask for your love and I plead to your reverence, to absolve me from everyone. And now, I am far from you and left you, and I cannot see your faces. And now I ask of you all, that you exhaust yourselves in prayers for me, remembrance in the Holy Liturgies, that my Master may accept me to Him, and forgive me.

And I ask Christ, the Great Shepherds of Shepherds, that he may elect for you a righteous shepherd according to His Will and heart, that he may shepherd you and your matters and watch for the salvation of your souls.]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/13106/new-pope-updates Sat, 31 Mar 2012 16:00:43 +0000 copticuser20 13106@/community/discussions

I thought it would be more crowded than it was, though I was glad to be there myself, and a relatively large British Orthodox contigent supported the event, many travelling 3 or 4 hours.

i found the link on another website and the reading for today's vespers is here:
(from this site)
Psalm 39:12
Hear my prayer, O LORD,
And give ear to my cry;
Do not be silent at my tears;
For I am a stranger with You,
A sojourner, as all my fathers were.

I often forget what it means to suffer, our holy father embodied this. Despite everything he was faced with he remained steadfast and endured to the end. I will remember this. As I close my discussions with my close brothers and sisters I end by saying "endure" which they respond "to the end". This truly has taken on a new meaning for me, it is no longer just a word defined by a dictionary, but defined by our holy father, not by words but in his life. He endured to the end. While I weep, I weep because I am selfish. His words were so instrumental in my conversion and so it is difficult for me to think that this man, who has become like my father, is now gone.

Fear not my brothers and sisters, God provided us with a great man, an angel, for a very long time. He has not forgotten us. May the Lord have mercy on all our souls and keep us at peace in this time of mourning. Goodbye Baba, thank you for all you have done for me and for the Church of God. I will miss you.]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/13050/recorded-services Mon, 19 Mar 2012 14:39:12 +0000 copticuser20 13050@/community/discussions https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/13051/watch-the-funeral-ceremony-of-h-h-pope-shenouda-iii-live Mon, 19 Mar 2012 17:11:14 +0000 Pantocrator Bible Study 13051@/community/discussions

I just want to know where the Coptic Orthodox Church takes a stand on this.

Are there similarities and differences with the other Oriental Orthodox Churches?

How is it different from the Eastern Orthodox Church? I know the EO uses the icon of Christ the Pantocrator on the iconostasis on the left of the icon of Saint Mary while we use the icon of the Baptism – why is this?

If you have books or links that explain the order in which icons are to be set and the symbolism behind icons (like the stars on Saint Mary) I will appreciate it greatly.

In Christ
Theophilus

I have a few questions.

1) What is the purpose of the belt the monk wears when he is ordained??

2) What are the two levels of brotherhood?

Can anybody please tell me more about this prophecy? Is this prophecy figurative or literal? If it is figurative, has it been fulfilled? I know the Assyrian church is Nestorius and is considered heretical and to my own understanding Israel is Jewish. It seems that if this prophecy is not figurative, it will take a LONG time before it is fulfilled.]]>
