best thing is to go to vespers and ask the priest there at the end. or phone / email the priest first. if you go to confession regularly (with us it seems to average once a month although once in 3 months is not so unusual) and take Holy Communion i…

well, having now discussed this with imikhail, i can conclude my discussion by saying that it is OO, but not one of those OO courses that seek to upset EO people. it is an official OO course, running with the full support of abba seraphim, and if t…

imikhail, i have sent a personal message, as i don't wish to discuss this publicly.

nice pictures of the pope! :)

try to discuss a little of it with your priest. tell him there are things you find hard to talk about because you are afraid he will think you are weird. we are all a little bit weird, each in our own way, but God loves us all.

may God give u all great peace and guidance. you enlighten us with your posts. may God bless u and remind u how great His love is.

sorry, got it mixed up. there is a translation of the words somewhere, i forget where, but the video of what i wanted to post is here:

translation of patriarch theodore's (greek one) address: (warning: is so beautiful, you may cry...) copied from here: http://www.orthodoxchristianity.net/forum/index.php/topic,47866.45.html (towards bottom of page) On this blessed day, during whic…

soooooooo sorry, i meant to post the link! of course it is the one above. if u can't watch all of it, watch my favourite bit: it's only 5 1/2 mins and it shows the fantastic relationship between baba tawadros 2nd (ours) and patriarch theodore 2nd …

hi, can the first person to find a recording of the ceremony please post it here? we saw a little bit between baakar and the liturgy at church, and some of the interviews after, but i would love to see more! and did anyone in america stay up all ni…

wow, i have just read the story of father arseny, the russian orthodox priest and how God helped him when in a communist prison, years ago. really awesome. thanks for this beautiful blog. :)

am working... :'( i know it will be very good, by God's grace. :)

great answer! :)

it is good to turn to God with our problems. however you should go to confession if you have not taken Holy Communion for a while, because God instituted the church to administer the sacrements so that our spiritual health can be taken care off. yo…

do it for God. then if God wants to take it away from you straight after, you will be willing to accept. nothing is wasted if it is done for God. even if you have a pharmacy degree and God wills for you to work in cleaning, you can put to use the ta…

u don't need to go into detail! say 'i have problems ignoring my bodily desires'.

it's not just that the arabic is difficult, the concepts are difficult too. i managed 1.5 paragraphs before realising my dictionary and i need help! the first paragraph is about the power of communal repentance, and it looks like abouna tadros is t…

do some songs, 'i spy' games and also let them have some free time, so they can do some of their own activities. when i was a kid, i went on a few school trips and we had lots to sing. most of it i wouldn't repeat though! ;) in my defense, i didn't…

Joshua is "yeshoue' ' from hebrew directly to english and 'Jesus' is from hebrew to greek and then to english. it's silly that we have 2 ways of saying the same name!
-
they are different ways of pronouncing the greek name. if you start from greek, through coptic and arabic, you get tawadrous, and if you start with greek and go through latin and english you get theodorus or theodore. it's like arabs say 'mariam' an…

Axios! Axios! Axios! :D

i remember u! :) it's good to c u again, welcome to the old people's world! ;)
-
i had problems like this sometimes too, it is very hard if u feel alone. the best thing is to wait and focus on other things, like yr spiritual life and pray and ask God to guide u. remember it is normal to feel cut off and friendless at times of tr…

may God guide u and have mercy on those who suffer.

it is good to speak to yr priest about it. if u can't bear to speak to a man about it, take advice from an older spiritual auntie first. make good use of yr time (prayer, Bible study, church activities, helping people, working etc.) ask God for His …
