O, yea, how about: The Aspasmos Watos (Vatos) of the Divine Liturgy of St. Basil, as it is chanted.

First Chapter, Gospel of St. John. The three Epistles of St. John.
-
Then there is: St. Matthew 6:25 to the end. Read it slowly. You have to allow it a chance to soak into your soul.

Actually all 151 Psalms. I'm a Psalms man. When in doubt, read a Psalm. When you are happy, read a Psalm. When you have any emotion, read a Psalm. When you are studying, read a Psalm. When you need ideas, read a Psalm. When you need to cas…

Psalm 27

You are correct, Father. When the standing Committee met in th late 80's to translate the Divine Liturgy of St. Basil at Anba Bishoy Monastery in Egypt, not one person on the Committee had English as a mother tongue. Not to mention that it was tra…

How can you report someone, if they have not posted? Latest subscriber--false: Beat_Online_Roullette

It's not just advertising. There are also weight loss programs, and obsenities. I will try to keep track of names and report.

First, it is a SIN--no questions. Second, it is a FEDERAL CRIME--no questions (in the United States). It is a violation of HIPAA.

Thanks minagir--that's another point--consistent motivation.

An amazing verse, isn't it? It says so much in so few words.

No.

My birth. Without going into details, I should have died at birth. The doctors at the time were dumbfounded.

An amazing verse from the Gospel of St. John the Evangelist, as it is repeated in the Third Canonical Hour every day: "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do men light a candle and put it under…

Actually the shortest verse in the Holy Bible, as listed in the Gospel of St. John, has been, to me, the most profound in the entire Bible (front cover to back cover).
-
It is just my opinion. My opinion is based on observation. It is not meant to insult. There is a profound aspect to the chants. It requires an extreme discipline.
-
the_least, A chant from the Coptic Orthodox Church is a prayer. You do not learn prayers from digital recordings. Digital recordings are supplements but they cannot be the primary source. A good cantor or mentor will walk you through a very inte…

The Lord Blesses always. There is no moment that He does not bless us. The point is acknowledging the blessings that are upon us. Geomike, I thank you for the blessing you have placed upon me. Your words are too kind. The blessing returns to y…

The proper name is Onophorius, I believe. Although in the Synexarium you will find the listing as Nopher.

Present your voice as best as you can. Express your heart, your soul, and your faith. Close your eyes lift up your heart. Do not let your neck flex (slouch down to look at a book). On a practical sense this does not allow for proper flexion and …

I disagree with everyone. You start by reading the Psalm in the vernacular for you. Dwell on it for a while. Contemplate on it. Even write a meditation as to the glory of this particular chant. Learn it from a cantor at the church. Do not lear…

I say all different prayers when I eat. I say longer prayers when I am hungry, and shorter prayers when I am not. When I am hungry, I spend more time, because the hunger makes me think even more about the majesty of the grace that was put before m…

I think there is an issue with the quality of recording. The recording systems, unless they are extremely accurate and expensive, tend to average out notes and 'hazzats' in the harmonic waves generated by the voices. Minagir, is quite attuned with…

He's now the second priest I know to become Primate. I guess I'm building up good connections. He has a good sense of humor.
-
Was he elevated to the episcopal rank; being that you mentioned he is now Primate. I thought it was the same person.
-
Fr. Tarazi is also a linguist of several ancient languages. He is quite an excellent lecturer. Did the Armenian Primate serve in the United States prior to the United Kingdom?

One of my favorite jokes: What do you call someone that speaks three languages?...trilingual What do you call someone that speaks two languages?...bilingual What do you call someone that speaks only one language?... AMERICAN
-
The angels rejoice for another has taken on the Name of Christ, the Savior of the World. No greater ministry is there for a priest than to uphold, and offer the Seven Holy Mysteries. This is why priests are so special. They deserve the highest es…

You just say: 'Do you have any time for me? I would like to talk to you."

God is with you...always. He is Generous!
