"Rejoice o Egypt because you have torn open your pagan heart to shelter Christ and receive Him in you, for He will lift you to His House." Saint Yuhanna (John) Saba the hermit, the spiritual elder. We're lately in need to read and spread this comfo…

Count me in. I'll try to pray on a daily basis for the full recovery of Ioannes. Please pray for me. GBU

Very insightful. I agree. Are we watching newly devised strategies for hunting people from well established Churches by confusing their members with sophisticated yet philosophical arguments that overwhelm the mind? My sincere advice to whom plann…

I have watched carefully many Ethiopian spiritual songs, the women/men spiritual singers were always humble with deep spirituality in words and attitude, and in the case of more festive ones I found they were always highly organized with many simila…

May Our Lord Jesus Christ bless the Forum with plenty of edifying spirituality. Congratulations, may the Lord guide your path. Please pray for me. GBU

Commenting on your reply However, in my heart and conscience, I did believe the Catholic Church to be orthodox. So if I did not follow my conscience, I would be in sin. Does this mean that the status of your conscience imply it is THE truth we must …

Again, the Orthodox Church, including the COC, believe in the immaculate conception as having only one possible meaning: that is the unique miraculous conception of Christ by the Virgin Saint Mary the Theotokos through the Divine Action of the Holy …

This is a quick reply so I'm not sure it's correct. Please check it out. EDIT: It was another saint, St Fibronya the Martyr Nun, born in Syria and dedicated to the Lord by her parents, was a nun at the Archangel St Michael Monastery in east Gerga m…

Attempts to exploit others' good intentions is commonly seen. What preserves the Apostolic Orthodox Tradition is the spiritual vigilance of the orthodox Christians and their Fathers as guided by the Holy Spirit. My friend, the Orthodox Church by de…

This is hardly the best timing to stir such questions, in addition anybody can research the internet and find out. Nevertheless the following is copying from a COC reference (which actually is a condensed summary from an excellent book by HH Pope Sh…

Please pray for my family on the Altar: - for my son Fadi who is having many difficult exams starting this saturday - for my wife to heal her affected knee from complications - for me to be accepted in an appropriate medical job soon and - for all …

I think we were speaking of the fact that there are spiritual diseases, and also there is the fact we all know that the devil is fighting the sons of God. Therefore in this frame of thought there should be no real offense if it is discussed as one o…

when I visiting my local Coptic Orthodox Church the best is to ask your FOC or a Bishop for the best choice when you're there, and there should be the church library... Sorry I cannot recommend a Bible/book I never heard about. The Arabic SVD is v…

HH Pope Shenouda III and Anba Armia answers are very clear. No authority has the right to force the Church to act against Almighty God's commandments as given to us in the Holy Bible. this good report is in Arabic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dJ…

I also recommend the Katamars CD v3 produced in affiliation with Anba Bishoy monastery it's an interactive reference Bible (SVD based) with search and extras, Katamars etc. And v2 is freely downloadable, reported issues with Vista are addressed and …

I have a very good book on the Ascension but I can't find... Our Lord Jesus Christ's Ascension has at least these three purposes: - Ascending the eternal Lamb of God by His own Power to His Glorious Throne - Lifting up our manhood nature he saved w…

Father Peter, I fully agree with you. It is a common dilemma with everybody when deciding to engage in Holy Matrimony. The Lord has bought us with a very high price and if Almighty God has forgiven us our sins who exactly are we to act otherwise or…

My best opinion would be permanent private teachers. Like these: Rapidly Learn Egyptian Arabic in 10 Days with Pimsleur® https://www.pimsleurapproach.com/learn-arabic-egyptian.asp An audio instructor tells you how to understand and reply in gradual…

Thank you so much they are very good. God bless you and bless Icongrapher Martha Ghaly. May the prayers of these great martyrs be made for all of us. Amen. GBU

These are pictures of many icon styles of the two physician brothers and Great Martyr Saints Cosmas (or Cozman) and Damian. Coptic iconographers currently write also very realistic icons. a mural icon in Deir El Syrian church: http://www.coptichist…

Reproaches are Love borne. Above all things we should all never be proud but of only one sign, and it is the one thing that unites us all: that is the Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ. It is the spiritual union in Christ, it has little to do with who…
