• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Prayer requests post here!

Update - my nephew is out of immediate danger of death. 45% burns, though, and a lot of issues. He’s still in a burn unit ICU and will be for some time to come. My thanks for your prayers!

That I might find a parish that I can be received into Holy Orthodoxy in and with which is traditional and I'm able to be a faithful Orthodox Christian (that I can feel at ease enough to do so).

Lord have mercy upon me, a poor sinner . . . +

I can't get in to the details at this time, but please pray for those affected by miscarriage, both the children and the parents

Is there a patron saint for such matters?
I don’t know if there is a patron saint, but I’d request the intercession of St Anna. She is often asked to intercede for those trying to conceive.

Prayers!

My nephew got out of surgery the other evening. It took much longer than expected but they were able to get a lot done. They had to harvest almost all of the skin from his back to do grafts on the severely burnt areas of his body.
At this time he is still intubated and completely sedated and on a ventilator. They did this because he needs to remain flat and that could be too painful for his body. Also his body needs time to rest and recoup.
They will likely to more skin grafts next week once he has time to heal some.
Thank you everyone for the continued prayers! They are very much needed still!

Dear Heavenly Father, May you protect Rusmerister's nephew and take care of the recovery process, I love YOU, Abba, In Jesus name I pray, Amen!
