This looks absolutely fantastic. God bless your efforts.

Hey Dthoxasi, I'd really recommend you check out Have You Seen the One I Love by H.H. Pope Shenouda. Its a book of contemplation on the Song, and one of his works that has been properly and wonderfully translated into English.

Dear Godlovesme, Believe me, you're not alone. Take it from another young single Copt in their early twenties (albeit a male) studying at university, I have felt a lot of the things you describe. Feelings of stress, isolation, intense loneliness. …

[quote author=RamezM link=topic=14579.msg165696#msg165696 date=1377109252] If you just want a short read that provides a profound yet semi-brief meditation on the theology of the liturgy, that's another story...I can recommend these as well. [/quote…

Why is it the case that if someone is bleeding they cannot partake of the Holy Communion?

Khristos anesti! The hymn is known as Golgotha - you can find a recording here :)

Which Coptic calendar quoted this? I'm certain its a quote from Matthew Henry: http://mhc.biblecommenter.com/john/5.htm
