As of yesterday I'm a catechumen :)

[Stabat Mater dolorosa]

So happy to finally be entering a more serious commitment to the church and learning more and more about the liturgy, prayer life and theology of the Holy Russian Chruch.
I've wiggled quite a bit lately regarding this schism thing which arose in the middle of everything and all.

I landed on continue on in my parish (well the parish I've been kind of in love with on and off for five years already) which is Russian.
I pray everything works out and in able to choose Orthodoxy out of love and reverence.

Pray for me brothers and sisters.



God bless ya'll !

Congratulations on getting such a blessed title and job. Glory to God.

 

[Stabat Mater dolorosa]

Thank you all, you're to kind
I'm happy to have come to this phase and I'm looking so much forward to embracing Orthodoxy in the time to come. Its truly beautiful.
Liturgically its growing on me and theologically it's been growing on me for many years.

Lol, Anhelyna knows me and have talked with me and helped me spiritually at my low points. When I get christmated its because of the Holy Spirit and my sister Anhelyna no doubt.

God bless TAW and holy Orthodoxy. Amen.

I was going to pray for you, OP, but you didn't include me among your favorite TAW people list. I'm not eligible...

In all seriousness, CONGRATULATIONS AND GLORY TO GOD!

This is the third time I've changed this year

I'm slow and have a bad memory -- what was your old name on here haha?

 

[Anhelyna]

HA - which of his names do you mean

 

[Stabat Mater dolorosa]

Perhaps I should've chosen all of them , it would definitely have some royalty about it wouldn't it ?

 

[gurneyhalleck1]

You do know about our Freemasonry style rules, right? You will learn the Orthodox handshake, Orthodox secret word (usually has the word "Seraphim" or "Illumined" somewhere in it), the Orthodox secret meeting sites, the Eastern snack of the week, and the waiver form in which you promise that if you ever leave us we can hunt you down like Mossad and make you disappear.....It's all in the manual. Welcome!
