What is the Orthodox view of universalism?

[prodromos]

Thursday morning of Holy week

One of our Communion prayers:

Into the slendour of your Saints how shall I, the unworthy one, enter?​

For if I dare to enter the bridal chamber, my clothing betrays me,​

for it is not a wedding garment, and I shall be bound and cast out by the Angels.​

Cleanse the defilement of my soul, Lord, and save me in your loving kindness.​

 

[ArmyMatt]

Please remember me during Holy Week. I would love to read the lyrics.

I will try. if not, just look up our Bridegroom Matins services or the unique services later on in the week.

there’s also the one hymn where we talk about Judas never passing through the gates of life.

Seems to me there is a lot to learn from these hymns... I’ll have to do more research.

That only makes sense. I enjoy that. I have a hard time making heads or tails out of the hymns at my Church at times.
