PerfectSinner,
There is no need to apologise.I would have thought the same thing. Now,that we know Abuna Fanus is well and kicking, I do not need to ask Abuna for confirmation anymore:)
I aso have met Abuna Abraam from St Thomas monastry.By lookin…
Hi ALL,
I feel, Mixed-one is very ill.That is why S/he is asking this question.Like all the faithful, s/he knows that it is the Lord who heals. I am also certain, Mixed_one knows that praying the the Saints of ther Lord is helpful.I do not think S/…
Hi ALL,
That is wrong. True,there were some politicall fighting between the Ethiopian Church and the Egyptian church,but the Church itslef is one and the same,eventhough the Ethios have their own Patriarch, since 1958 a wish that was fulfiled by Po…
But are there any miracles that are attributed to the Shroud of turin? I have not heard of any. For example, St Helena was able to identify the authentic Holycross of the Lord , becasue a dead man was regained his life after his corpse was brought…
I am grateful to you both Coptic Pharoah and John for taking the time to translate the miracle of HH Saint Pope kryillos. John,that was awesome and the way you translated it might deserve a place in one of the mircale books.Think about it and contac…
Hi ALL,
for the CD... wat do u mean by how to chant the Agbeya, dont u just listen to it and learn?
Yes, most learn it. I think, it is easier in Arabic and my Arabic is worthless:).So I use the English version and the adjustment is not that easy.

Coptic servant,
Thx for the link to English sermons.I was about going to ask where I could find them and I was amazed that you came across it.
BTW, is there a CD for sale on how to pray the Agpeya in chanting form?
I would appreciate for any info.
Coptic Servant,
The term Diaspora referred to the jews who were scattered all over the world after their explusion from their homeland centuries ago.As a result of it, today the word refers to people who have founded communities outside their orig…
The term diocese simply means district or division. For example,the Coptic diocese of California means the Coptic parish/district of California under the authority of a Bishop assigned for that area.
Lost,
I am curious to know,if you did go to confession. Remember, heaven is full of people who started over again ( I think an Irish saying).
Do not forget that you have to take full responsibility of sins that you committed.Do not shift the blame…
Meena-Ameen,
I will remember you in my Midnight Prayers,when I get home.Never forget to ask for the intercession of St Mina,the wonder-worker and his Beloved Pope Kyrillos.As you may know and as your nick and the choice of your avatar suggests,thes…
The only one who is in heaven is the Blessed Virgin Mary,because her body was taken to heaven. All others righteous who departed are in the so called "waiting place".Thus, heaven is still empty.
Simply put, if the 'immaclate conception' in this case does not refer to the conception of God the Word, but rather to the Catholic heresy, then there is no way the apparition was genuine.
For you to claim,that the apparitions were not genuine,beca…
Dear Orthodox,
I do believe that Our Blessed Mother did appear to St Bernadette at Lourdes.Whether our church recognises that or not is ,of course, entirely another matter. But my question is,assuming that the apparition were true, why should we do…
Dear Orthodox11,
I have a question that is related to the topic in a way. What is the position of Our Coptic church in regards to the apparitions of The Blessed Virgin to Bernadette Soubirous at Lourdes,France?
VAssilios,
Miracles do happen for a purpose. The gift of tongue speaking happened for a purpose. Remember,before our Lord ascended to heaven,he ordered his apostles to go out into the world and baptise all humans in the name of the Father,and the S…
DJDeacon and others,
Thanks for the info: Yes,it is in the bishopric of Anba Tedros in Port Said. Anba Tedros was in N America recently and I heard that he said the icon weeps oil on regular basis these days. Unfortunately, I did not meet him mysel…
