We kneel in the parish I go to on Sundays during the consecration of the Eucharist. It is fairly common in Greek and Antiochian Orthodox parishes.

The first video is very sad. It struck a nerve when he said that Catholics worship the devil. The most Christian people I've ever known were Roman Catholics. Many Protestants don't believe that they are even Christian (they would lump us in the same category). What does the preacher think...

I use incense every once in a while at home. I have a little collection of incense from the Hermitage of Holy Cross as well as Holy Transfiguration Monastery.

To be fair to Muhammad, Aisha was 6 or 7 when the marriage was arranged and the betrothal took place. She was roughly 9 or 10 when she was joined with Muhammad. Also, this was not at all uncommon in Arabian tribal culture (and tribal culture in general). The marriage was a political alliance...

I think most monastics probably do their work on Saturday. I can only speak for the Hermitage of Holy Cross in West Virginia. Saturday is a relaxed day. There is usually a Liturgy in the morning followed by private prayer in the cell and then doing whatever work they are appointed to do for that...

May his memory be eternal and may God preserve the Coptic Church.

My aunt has Down Syndrome. Thank you for raising awareness of World Down Syndrome Day. :) They are amazing people.

Very much so.

Ah, yes it does. Thank you very much. :)

I didn't know where else to ask. In the Salve Regina, the text reads: "Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae." Why is it then that I have come across recordings that leave out "Mater"? With: Salve Regina - YouTube Without: Chant of the Templars - Salve Regina (final part) - YouTube Thanks! :)

Holy Mother of Czestochowa, Thou art full of grace, goodness and mercy. I consecrate to Thee all my thoughts, words and actions- my soul and body. I beseech Thy blessings and especially prayers for my salvation. Today, I consecrate myself to Thee, Good Mother, totally-- with body and soul...

Lord, have mercy!

They have also discovered that thick cataracts have also built up over their eyes.

This is a very wonderful documentary. I've watched it three times! It is very beautiful.

This site helped me learn. Its quite helpful because it is an interactive rosary and you click on the different parts and it says which prayers are to be said on which beads, etc. It is from a more traditional Catholic source since it only includes the Joyful, Sorrowful, and Glorious Mysteries...

I've quite enjoyed my pre-Lenten pączki. :P

Watched the whole video and the only thing I have to say about that is... Good for him.

I think its just part of the hood on the Great Schema.

I guess it depends on how one feels about the Catholic Church. If I find one that is unlocked in the middle of the day, I go in a say a quick prayer and I often stop into one of the Polish churches and light a candle at the small shrine for Our Lady of Czestochowa.

I've seen those commercials. From what I've heard, many people are returning to the Catholic Church as well as converting. There are plenty of Orthodox converts from Catholicism who are even going back to Rome (some in my family have done this). As for Orthodoxy in America, I'm probably not as...
