  • Hi, Generally speaking, when you go to a khalwa, you want to commune with God. You tune out the noise of the world so that God's voice can be clearer. You pray and pray and pray and you sit still and wait to hear "God's still voice". And even if…
  • It can be found in Luke 16:1-8 "The Parable of the Shrewd Manager 1Jesus told his disciples: “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions. 2So he called him in and asked him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give a…
  • Hi, You can also try the following website. It has many liturgies and hymns. http://www.saintmina-holmdel.org/Multimedia/index.php Hope that helped. ML
  • Sure..... ;) In our church, ordinary men are "called" by the Lord to leave the lives that they have known and become priests. Not everyone who desires to become a priest can do so. It is a "spiritual calling" to lead and serve. In the catholic…
  • Major differences, particularly relating to the "hierarchy" of the church leaders. 1- In essence, catholics believe that their pope is without sin - we believe that ours is human and therefore, sins. 2-The catholic church puts St. Peter as the fou…
  • Hello everyone, Happy new year and merry x-mas! So, I tried downloading it. I was able to download it, but I wasn't able to play it. Maybe it is not compatible with Real Player? And to Dany - GJi on novemeber 9th posted the lyrics to this beaut…
  • hi coptic boy, Thanks! I will try to download it tonight and keep you posted of my results. God bless and have a great new year! ML
  • Hello everyone, It seems that the website is now working - the question is which hymn is it? I don't read arabic :-\ Peace in Christ, ML
  • Hey there. You are very brave for wanting to change yourself for the better. I wish more people can learn from you. Now how to deal with your problem. There are some basics and then specifics. First - I would pray to God to give me strength and …
  • cremedelescremes: Hate to shatter your dreams - but Sigmund Freud, the father of dream intrepretation, was a cocaine addict who had major psychological problems himself :-\ So this whole idea about interpretation of dreams is just, well... a bunc…
  • Here's the thing: There are real medical conditions in which you need a trained psychiatrist to help treat you (schizophrenics, manics etc...). However, if you are having difficulty dealing with a problem, unless the shrink you are seeing is copti…
  • Hi Maz, The difference can be found in Philipians: "I can do all things in Christ who strengthens me." When you are humble, you acknowledge that you have weaknesses, but you know that Christ will complete you. You know that your strengths (and t…
  • I am no expert, but I would think that the difference between humility and low self-esteem is the following: when you are humble, you know that even though you are a sinner, God loves you and wants the best for you. You are confident that whatever…
  • Hey there God child, We missed you! Glad you are back with your beautiful letters from God. :) God bless you, ML
  • Hi Marianne, No problem. I am glad that I was able to help :). Thank you for your concern about me. I thank God that he allowed me to go through a very difficult time a little while ago because it allowed me to learn a lot of things and more imp…
  • Dear Marianne, To answer your first message: the first pic represents God's hands stretched out to you. Look at them again - they are strong, patient, kind. He is inviting you to lay your problems in his hands. I find it a very peaceful pic. N…
  • Fady, Please don't be sad. Don't you remember that when Jesus took the 5 loaves and 2 fishes, He BROKE the bread first in order to bless it and complete the miracle. So it is with our lives as Christians. Sometimes, in order to fulfill God's pl…
  • oops, here is the other one...
  • Marianne, I have these pics saved on my computer to remind me that God is waiting to help when I feel overwhelmed :) ML
  • Hey there Marianne 87 Don't go there - that place where the devil wants you to feel worthless, guilty and unlovable. It will only isolate you and make you go round and round in the vortex of sadness. Jesus is already in your life Marianne 87 …
  • Hey there, Remember one thing: the devil wants you to be away from the love of God and he will use depression as a wedge to seperate you from the Lord. When you lose hope in God's love, you have allowed the Devil to make you doubt in Jesus and th…
  • These are great! Thanks for taking the time and effort to type these and post them. They truly are beautiful. May God bless you for your love and hard work! ML
