... and not a day to early here....

I am sorry for having caused you all pain, sadness and anger!

Please forgive me a sinner!

:bow:

Does the Church follow the Western calendar for Lent every year?
Finnish one, yes... some other EP churches scattered around Europe do too... (mainly the ones where Western Easter is a national holiday)

Lord have mercy on me the sinner.:bow:

Hey Jen,
Did you see the new AGAIN magazine article on the Finnish Orthodox Church? Last article in this edition. I immediately thought of you.

:bow:
I know of no pain, sadness, or anger that you have caused me. :hug:

But having said that, I still wish to say...

God forgives and I forgive. Please forgive me -- a sinner!
:bow:

Thank you for these.
Perhaps I should not feel this way, but I know sometimes I do regret having been silent.
And so I go ahead and post this.
