To show a different view, here is another patriarch of Alexandria (Pope Gabriel V) showing how he understands that the entire liturgy is one continuous long epiclesis throughout which the oblations are being transformed until completion by the desce…

This is the part I was referring to (but again, this is not the common thread of thought within the Coptic history-- the rest of the article explores more of the history. It might be simply Pope Matthew's own understanding, but it shows some of the …

I agree 100%! The liturgical life is experienced not just contemplated from afar. Yet, I think using your brain is helpful, and when done in a correct manner can actually enrich the experience. They can go hand in hand sometimes. I'm happy to share …

Sorry I've been away from this forum for a few years, so I'm just seeing this thread now. Honestly, I struggle with this so much too; especially since pride is a sneaky sin that may not always be manifest. When I asked my FOC, he told me there is n…

I don't mean to resurrect this discussion, but there's an article published this year that deals with very issue (moment vs. process of consecration in Egyptian thought). I wonder if might be of interest for some of the people here: https://doi.org/…

Interestingly there is a lot of history even behind the Coptic beliefs we have today. For example, Pope Matthew IV of the Coptic church seem to hold somewhat similar views to the Roman Catholic dogmas discussed in Fourth Lateran Council and the Coun…

I do agree with mabsoota that we are in someways becoming a lazy and technology-dependent race; however I'd have to agree with servant33 on the workout part. Even though it's nice to live a simpler life and get our priorties straight I don't see the…

Thanks for your help, but I wanted books that I can buy. I am not sure how people do it, I can't stand starring at a computer screen for an hour trying to read a book. If you find books that I can buy that would be GREAT ;)

The thing is that if you would have looked at the world in WWI, WWII, Great Depression, Fall of Jerusalem (70 A.D) you would have concluded the same thing. These signs of disasters and apocalyptic "signals" repeat themselves in history. So I don…

That's really early :o But don't worry they say 50% of success is by preparation and studying and the other 50% is by confedence in God and yourself!!

[quote author=Iqbal link=topic=6433.msg85282#msg85282 date=1207624953] I would suggest that for those inclined to critisise and cast doubt, that it is better for them to remain silent than to speak idly as such and thereby potentially incur judgment…

Actually my dad asked the abbot of the monestary once about Fr. Fanous and the abbot said that "father Fanous is a very holy man however the people jump to many conclusions. For instance, he works in cutting rocks so he has many cuts on his hands a…

In my opinion you should not give her a preach or a sermon, but just few words. If she is a good christian, then something like "I am sorry, but I don't want to break God's heart" or something like that. If she is not a good Christian, then someth…

144,000 is 12 x12 x10 x10 x10 meaning that 12- the 12 tribes of the old testament, so its saying that the righteous people who lived before Christ will be admitted. the second 12- the 12 disciples, so its saying that the people who accepted the teac…

If want a written one, try this http://www.coptic.net/prayers/StBasilLiturgy.html, but I don't know how helpful is this to you.

[quote author=ophadece link=topic=6411.msg84716#msg84716 date=1206783473] Dear Zakhary, Thank you very much. That has been helpful, although I would like to have heard the whole of it by a priest and congregation replying in Coptic, but as minagir s…

Actually if you want the actual Liturgy from beginning to end by a priest, then only HICS recorded that. But on http://www.coptichymns.net/module-hymns-catview-pid-44.html there is a recording by Cantor Farag Ab el messih and other Cantors from H…
