All of the praises of the Midnight Psalmody are beyond beautiful and uplifting to the soul - as has been rightly said, praying the tasbeha is as if the earth has ascended to heaven, or heaven has descended to earth. Look at all of the lyrics of the …

Psalm 27 as ilovesaintmark mentioned is wonderful :) "Do not rejoice over me my enemy, when I fall I will arise, when I sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light to me" (Micah 7:8) “Cast your burden on the LORD, And He shall sustain you; He shall…

It is non-nonsensical to talk of two Natures after the union. The complete union of the Divine and Human Natures of Christ is referred to in our Church as the "One Nature of the Incarnate Logos". I suggest you read Chapter 3 of H.H.'s "The Nature of…

My grandfather was ordained a priest by H.H. over 30 years ago. His name is Nazeer Grais Gabriel while H.H.'s name before ordination was Nazeer Gayed Raphael - same first name, and surname named after an archangel ;D So he named him Shenouda, after…

[quote author=peterfarrington link=topic=9172.msg114009#msg114009 date=1272704893] And it would be necessary to do some research to determine what books are in the historic Coptic Biblical tradition, rather than just in the modern Orthodox Study Bib…
