On the outside....no...we don't...on the inside though...when you go on the inside of this society....go under this society's skin...and you find the same...there is this HUGE sexual frustration in the Egyptian society...just l…
I would personally not agree to the opinion of that children will not be affected by these images if their parents aren't affected, since the childrens' enviroment does NOT only include their parents (especially when the grow older). I mean...even i…

My dearest brothers and sisters:
A small historical note: Priests and monks wear black because during the persecution in the horrible Muslim Empire times (which were mostly hard on us, but not always), part of the persecution was to wear blac…
Come on people...if we were sooooooo hung up on the food, then our fast has gone to waste, and we just wasted a wonderful oppurtunity to get closer to our Lord...

Ya Marmar:
Let me ask you a question...are you God's child or not? Obviously, you are, and you are very precious to Him...be very very sure of that! Do you then think that a VERY important issue like chossing an FOC is beyond HIS control? Of course…
Well, we confess because it's a sacrement, because it's to GOD first and foremost (asking him as in the "lost son" parable to accept you again), and because, as a side note, it serves to help you also psychologically, in additon of course to guide y…
why don't we go in praying please God teach me what you want to teach me....?
Instead of making ourselves the preachers or administrators in our church...why don't we go in to learn first? THEN, with God's grace, God may use us to change things....…
small problem...but I know it's cuz of me... :'(
The problem is many people consider such talk as fairy tales...or say, for example...."this talk is for people higher than us in spirituality" so they listen to it as if it were a fairy tale :'(

I think it's Dr. Adel Haleem's book on the issue...it's a very good book and I read it personally...
Also...Bishop Moussa talks about this issue...with the same result
Let us pray that these words, and all words, bring us closer to HIM and not b…
well....I wouldn't agree to that anyways....:) The church isn't, to our way of life, a community gathering or rally point for the believers...it's God's home, so as to speak....
when one goes away from the church, he prays and says:
"May Peace be…
Ya u're absolutely right...and ya...it's a very beautiful church..even more now than then...and yes ;D soccer there is the prevalent sport, but that doesn't mean it's a weak church or anything...
And the people in the mosque sometimes give us trou…
"mashroo3 el takharog" graduation project, that's the thesis :'(
Toiling means trying very hard to bring his children to GOD...
Toiling means working very hard anyways, in the english language...:D
Well...the liturgy has the same tone as Easter Night Mass...extremely happy, even as the coffin is in the church...the church is extremely happy with her father that is in heaven now...
The coffin is open, so that all may see the father priest tha…
of course....who didn't....:)
Anyways....he's in a better place now...with HIM...:)
By the way...the liturgy of "tagneez" for a priest is one of the deepest in the world....really...I cannot believe how it's sooo self-reflective....
In HIS Name…
don't mention it...we're all your brothers and sisters her on Tasbeha.org...
But we're not a substitute for an FOC...:D
God bless you...

No....
What I mean is if I still aim to perform lustful sex...even if I am about to confess about it....then I'd better not and change paths...and try my best to go to HIM in the end...
About marriage...first of all...a father confessor is NOT a p…
Let me ask you as a sister:
Does this person still really really like lustful sex? I mean if yes...then what is he/she confessing it for? For doing it again?
I mean...if I am honestly trhful in not doing this sin again, so that My Father in heaven…
