I have to disagree--stongly. There is always a place to tithe monetarily. One is obliged to tithe monetarily. The earlier example of the Widow and the two mites represents this quite fondly.

I told you, I used to be from Jersey City [aka, Shoubra in the USA].

There are 92K just in Jersey City.

There's always the mail and paypal. I know that Fr. Peter in his outreach and ministry is in need of aid. The highlighted amounts are minimal. Tasbeha.org has a section to donate.

There is the whole of the Pentatuch. All of the Epistles: Pauline and Catholic. In fact, the whole Bible.

Mozes, I beg to disagree about your formula. The Lord owns the $100 that He gave you the chance to earn. He is Merciful to grant you $90 to keep and asks that you return only $10. As for the division of the money that is not my place to give adv…

I do not think that skits are at all appropriate for Palm Sunday. The day is Joyous, however, by the time of the end of the Liturgy and the General Funeral Rite, the Joy is put to the side and the full breadth of concentration should be on Christ's…

You are not giving. You are returning. What you have is custodial. It belongs to God.

My existence and success is specifically related to this issue. I thank God for giving me the chance to carry it out; to return to Him a portion of what belongs to Him.

I thought the end of the world was 5/21/11? Thank God I don't know how to read or tell time.

I'm not sure what the question was.

Sasi, Simple: both are heresies--Protestantism and Islam.

Let's start a countdown to May 21st. How many days until then?

Zoxsasi, You are just a fountain of knowledge. TITL, Very profoundly put. Fr. Peter, There is a great place in the Heavenly Mansions, after a long life and priesthood, for you. I am sure of it. You are a good stewart to the Good Savior.

Yes. They have 70 virgins waiting for them.

I don't think fava beans make you feel light.

I guess one must keep in mind that a local traditional base will define the pronunciation pattern. There is the counterpoint relative to other French words that are initiated in English which would not be acceptable in a strict English pronounciatio…

Can you say: Muslim Brotherhood. I thought we were going to have democracy. It seems the MB's are getting more of a grip on everything in the country. Where is the media coverage? Too busy with Libya and the Gaddafi the lunatic. Gaddafi is enter…

With all due respect: "altar" is not "alter". Sorry. The Litanies are supposed to be out loud. It's just an abbreviation of time to say them inaudibly. A Litany, by definition, is: a prayer and petition, a call to pray for that petition, and t…

If it were exercise, it would not have worked too well. It is the remembrance and act of the taking down the walls of Jericho, in essence the barrier between us and the Lord. It recalls the taking of the Ark, the staff of Aaron, trumpets, etc. aro…

Technically: the bishop is supposed to be completing his vesting during the chanting of nisavev, i.e, mitre, zeno, cape, epatrachilion. Nisavev is the chanted Psalm of investiture.

If I made one for Superman, it would have an "S" on the front instead of a Cross, and then I would get branded as a heretic and be deposed. I guess that is a trap for me to be thrown out of the Coptic Orthodox Church. Never. I will not fall for i…

Most of the words I use are made-up. Although I wish I had an accent like Fr. Peter. I'm not a poet, I'm a deacon. I actually wrote it in another language and then translated it into English, hence the limited transference of the rhyme. I can't k…

In the case of the adult baptism it is for a two-fold purpose: modesty and to signify a new beginning/life. In this case, although it looks like a tonia, it is not a vestment but a robe or covering. In a sense, the deacon's tunic activates in the…

Godlovesme, God loves you. That is sufficient. He blesses you, and that is magnificence. In your name is God and "me". They are tied together by love. His Love will never let you down.

However, it does not include: stupid skits or plays, joking around, etc.

Any liturgical function pertaining to the Holy Sacraments; this is inclusive of vespers.

Dinner tonight: 2 day old Chinese vegetable fried rice mixed with 8 day old ziti and vegetables; microwave 1.5 minutes; a glass of apple juice and a mini-cucumber. This is what I call gourmet eating. I don't think there were any vitamins left. T…

I would agree with that description.

I don't make tonias for sale or profit. I make them as an offering to God. My diaconate is a presentation and return of sacrifice for the magnificent gift in Him allowing me to be ordained. I have made vestments for myself, my brother, and one pr…
