Newuser, May God bless you during this beautiful time in your life! May He also give you strength in front of your family and make you a light to all those around you! Be sure that He has put you on this path and He will complete it for you. Our Lo…

Zoxasi, How is it that you make the assumption that AnonumouslyLoved herself was willing to convert to the Catholic Church. AnonymouslyLoved made it clear that her intention was that her husband converts, as planned. As well, from her description …

May God bless you any give you strength. As mabsoota said, none of us are without sin. But the Lord Jesus Christ died that we might be saved through the shedding of His blood. God loves you more than you can imagine, and wants you more than you want…

St. John Chrysostomos tells us that as Christ grants us His grace, and a relationship with Him, we must go and serve on the altar of the world. Even the monks get together for communal meals where they may eat meat or other non-fasting foods. Not be…

Tracy Any birth control method is allowed that simply prevents an embryo from developing. Once the embryo is formed, even if it is for 1 second, you cannot harm this. The church doesn't subscribe to modern evolutionary theory. The best defense of…

Can we all just take a moment to remember this post! Hahahahaha Ray! Is this the 2 year anniversasry?

From the book of Acts... Acts 10:9-16 9 The next day, as they went on their journey and drew near the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour. 10 Then he became very hungry and wanted to eat; but while they made ready, he…

IAmHoly, In your immaturity, you have decided to make a mockery of a potentially decent issue. You have wasted the precious time of others in this Holy Week and Good Friday. Please do not continue with this joke, and allow others to focus on Christ…

Hymns and praise are one of the highest levels of prayer. We know this because this is how the angels and heavenly hosts worship the mighty Lord day and night. And therefore, the service of hymns can be a greatly fruitful one. However, the adversary…

Does anyone have a link to any sermons on the Hymn? I remember seeing contemplations on it by HG Bishop Youssef and HG Bishop Rafael... Anything would be much appreciated!

From Romans 6:23 we learn that the punishment of sin is death (all sin, not only some sins)! However, it is rejection and blasphemy against the Holy Spirit which is the sin without forgiveness, for the purpose Mina clarified! Purity2, This is my…

Zoxasi, The couple whom Theresa's posting about, are not rodents, or a pair of rats on which scientific research is conducted. Theresa is not posting here to be tormented as if she is satan, being mocked and called "wicked" as a result of personal …

Theresa, Simply direct them to the fathers if you have not done so already. Clearly, there's not much benefit available from immature views and opinions. God be with you and the family.

Zoxasi, you are doing nothing but clarifying my point. I have never said that either spouse is to be solely a source of happiness in the relationship. However, I have made it clear that marriage is a path to the Kingdom of God. St. Paul, wished that…

Zoxasi, Remenkimi has done an outstanding effort in clarification, following your comment directed to me. Thank you Remenkimi. Pray for me a sinner.

Gabriel, I pray for you and all those suffering as you are. We pray that the Lord gives you His mighty strength to pull you and us out of any bond of Satan, just as he descended into the depths of Earth and pulled our fathers from Hades through His…

Zoxasi, "Its not really down to a man's wife to make him happy. I know many on here will attack me for this, but your happiness shouldn't come from your spouse. They have a responsibility before God to only have sex with their spouse and raise Chil…

Hey CopticStrength, very nice post. Could you by any chance, reference what page you found that amazing quote on! The one about the sun and the earth. Thanks a lot.

When Pope Kyrollos put the eskim on Tamav Iriny, she told him that there's no way she could possibly finish all her work, and still complete such a great prayer canon! Pope Kyrollos replied and said "Your work is prayer". When you study, don't do …

Bishoy.Adel God wants us more than we want him. He promised that He desires the salvation of all sinners. He loved us first, and that is why we love Him. Remember that the Lord who created Heaven and Earth is Your Father, and He loved you to the ex…

"There is no labour greater than that of prayer to God. For every time a man wants to pray, his enemies, the demons, want to prevent him, for they know that it is only by turning him from prayer that they can hinder his journey to the kingdom of God…

Dear beloved friend, I'm sure everybody always has there moments when they really want to change their physical appearance. However, we must always consider what is most important... Which is; our bodies are vessels of the Holy Spirit!!! There is …

The copts do not practise the liturgy of the pre sanctified gifts at all. However, instead, on most wednesdays and fridays of the holy fast, we celebrate an entire liturgy; from beginning to end. Perhaps, the same as is prayed on Sundays, yet with t…

[quote author=ReturnOrthodoxy link=topic=14366.msg164157#msg164157 date=1365640714] Very interesting, MonasticsX. Actually, I think the choice of three Bishops was wise. One from Bolivia (near where the New Pope originates) and another from Italy (w…

[quote author=dthoxsasiPhilanethrope link=topic=14366.msg164152#msg164152 date=1365624743] How comes our pope didn't go to the enthronement of pope Francis then?? Was he not invited? [/quote] H.G. Bishop Youssef of Bolivia told us that he wanted t…

[quote author=ReturnOrthodoxy link=topic=14334.msg163945#msg163945 date=1364144117] Frankly, I don't see why everyone is so desperate for unity with the Chalcedonians. Not to be rude, but who cares what they think of us? If they want to view us as h…

Thank you very much mabsoota! Your reply was greatly appreciated. And the only reason Ireland is an option is simply because not many students at all make it in Canada. Also, the last factor is that the school he was accepted into is rather expensiv…

Dear Mike, From your posts I can clearly tell you are a very kind, humble and spiritual person; this I can not relate to. However, I would like to point out a short, yet beautiful verse which the Lord Himself has said: "Come unto me, all you that…
