Dear minagir, That is what puzzles me as well. I don't really want to mention any names, but it happens here in the UK, and in Egypt I heard it does as well. God bless you and mention me in your prayers

Dear orthodox11 and minagir, Thank you very much for your clarification. I take it that you both are not in agreement with the 50 prostrations added especially for Virgin Mary after the 400 on Good Friday. Dear minagir, I am not really sure what hy…

Dear all, What minagir, and jydeacon, I think is the basis for what is happening in answer to Amoussa01's question. But, I would still agree with Amoussa01 on their view. I think, as long as the Pope is not physically present, we shouldn't sing thos…

Dear Dcn. Amde, Truly He has Risen, God bless you in your search, and don't worry. You just gave me a new piece of information that I cherish very much. God bless you and mention me in your prayers

Dear Dcn. Amde, Thank you very much for your explanation. I really tend to agree with you in every word, although I am ignorant about the answers of the questions you posed. God bless you and mention me in your prayers

Dear why, So so nice story and how beneficial. Yes of course, the evil one makes up desires, temptations and every bad and worthless thing look as (or maybe more) beautiful as an apple. Thanks, for you drew our attention to be careful of the worldly…

Dear orthodox11 and all, Very interesting story. But why did St. Valentine become a symbol of love? God bless you all and mention me in your prayers

Dear spartan_andy, I think I have got a midi file on my PC for ebouro. If someone else hasn't given you what you were looking for, let me know and I will forward it to your e-mail. God bless you and mention me in your prayers

Dear aripsalin and all, I strongly agree with what has already been said. Let me just add these points: 1- like gregorythesinner said, fasting, reading the Bible, and other things shouldn't stop because this is how Satan wants us to fall: just Commu…

Dear all, I think we can also include the "2arabny" "ayyem", (= Oblations preparator) as the lowest rank of the deacons. Correct me if I am wrong. God bless you and mention me in your prayers
-
Dear all, First of all, let me tell you I have lived in Egypt till I became a doctor and left it and came over to the UK, so I got the best of the two worlds if you like. That is just an introductory bit to assure you that I understand your points c…

Dear all, One thing which always worked when I tried it, is to recite Jesus prayer in those times were kids are left free, like the breaks, periods between classes, and I think God will help anyone. Yes, praying for other kids is a fantastic idea as…

Dear all, I would like to thank vassilios so much. He is very concise, and well spoken. Be careful of self-praise satan. God bless you all and mention me in your prayers

Dear minagir, From what I understand, and what we discussed before (if you mean we discussed it here on this website), deaconesses were not allowed to stand along with deacons and serve as cantors in the church. They just served other women and girl…
-
Dear abosefien, I am sorry, I disagree. I don't really think we should bother the Pope with such matters, and if anything goes against the church rites, we don't then need to ask the Pope about it. I don't really think the idea of deaconesses is acc…
-
Dear all, I would like to comment on Cephas's views. I always think you are very reasonable in your views. However, I agree with you on one thing, and disagree on another. Yes, it is good for young adults (or even young teens) to have freedom and ex…

Dear hoserof, However long it will take you, I WILL BE WAITING. God bless you all and mention me in your prayers
-
Dear why and all, Yes, I think it is a very long journey. No one will make it shorter "or even appear shorter" except God. So let's pray to Him to shorten the length of the journey, and ease off our troubles and pains in this short-lasting world. Go…
-
Dear hoserof, I am waiting until you make up a table explaining how the proper rites should be. That will help me understand a lot of things. God bless you all and mention me in your prayers
-
Dear minagir, hos erof, and all, Let me ask you a question related to the length of the music by which you say the verses of cymbals. I used to understand that the ritually correct tune which is festal is long, and the annual (or at least that used …
-
Dear kerestina, I absolutely agree with you. I don't think I myself will allow my children to try those pleasures for once. The ages "legitmatised" here, are only worldly to curb crimes, maybe give a feeling of freedom, but all in a worldly sense. I…
-
Dear hos erof, Very concise and complete. Thanks very much for the explanation. I think now I do understand, but I will let you know if I have any more questions. God bless you and mention me in your prayers
-
Dear why, Don't really know if I can call myself having dramatically changed or not. But I can say that we change when we repent, and in essence repentance in Greek means the change of one's ways. I have been trapped by various sins, and now I am st…
-
Dear vassilios, I am very sad for the state the Christians are in in those countries, but at least we pray each and every Mass for the Christians all over the world. It is even sadder to see yourself there, as I understood your point, when you said …

Dear 3nails, The jinkim is on the "`" buttong, which is the top leftmost button next to the numbers. That is as far as I can remember. Please try it and let me know. God bless you and mention me in your prayers
-
Dear vassilios, I am very happy I heard your point about Greek. Anyway, I think that is a very difficult question that I won't be able to answer, but what on earth got you stuck in that city in the first place? Very strange as well, as I used to thi…
