I love him too! I just think telling someone 'a2bal meet sana' is more of an insult than a compliment.. I mean, who really wants to live that long? Especially a faithful christian? I don't want Pope Shenouda to ever ever leave us, but thats greed, n…
I love this! You should print this out and send it to His Holiness :)
We ask you, O Son of God, to keep the life of our Patriarch, Abba Shenouda, the high priest. Confirm him upon his throne.

Why don't you ask your FOC? Your relationship with God is getting "hard" because of a personal issue.
General answers won't fix that, I think. It's better to dig deep and see whats causing this distance in the relationship.
Thats the FOC's job :)

I just watched it. I guess it would be a neat documentary for a nonorthodox person to watch, but saint movies don't do it justice :)
It's still very professionally produced, and that's rare with Coptic productions :p

We need to check on two things: the lyrics and the type of music. If the lyrics and the music match the spirit of the Orthodox Church, there is nothing wrong in using these songs.
God bless you

I am currently reading the book of Jeremiah (it hurts), but here is what I have noticed so far:
1. God's people are living sinful lives.
2. Jeremiah gets sent to tell them they are going to die.
3. They hate him.
