(I hate competition) but when i was young, people would be put into teams with those sitting next to them and the servant leading the trip would have:

This is where I think some things are just so inappropriate for a girl to discuss with a priest. Such a dilemma.
even if you talk to another woman about it, you'd still have to confess it. It's just one of many awkward things.
If I hardly discuss s…

while some games improve reaction time, they may also be detrimental to your health in various ways; eyesight, sitting still for too long (cardiovascular disease) and even problems with joints related to what you use to play these games (fingers and…

The agpya is a way to help us initiate prayer when we don't know what to say.
Different hours have different text that can help us reflect. However, they are not to strictly make us pray them at set times during the day.
If you like e.g. the midn…
I find it quite strange that you need another human being to concentrate and focus their prayers just for you. God listens to you too. Ask for the saints' intercessions.
And if you speak to your priest, he will remember to pray for you. Unless you …
I know the type of people you are talking about, isn't very helpful to the thinking minds.
Then do find an opportunity to visit another church/monastery and meet new priests/monks and ask for their contact email. Ask them your questions. Many pries…
I think it is referring to our sin.
The original sin held us in debt. Sin made us unpure. God paid the price through Jesus' crucifixion. So we are no longer in debt. We are free. We have been cleansed so we are now asked to maintain the purity we w…
you're funny Mabsoota, I had to look up klingon.
I do not mean that my feelings are accurate. But hasn't anyone ever had a sensation that someone is not a good person before you even talk to them?
And if so, were you right?

If it is in any other order, it will not be built on a firm foundation and it is a matter of time f…
Yes, God has a plan for us.
However, do not confuse God's plan with 'fate'. Fate is a non Christian idea which means that your future is decided and will happen regardless of what you do.
But God has given all humans free will.
You are free to ch…
I feel that conscience comes from God. Because we were created in His image, we each have a little part of Him.
But since we have free will, we can do whatever we want, so when we do wrong, our conscience makes us feel guilt for what we have done. …
