i used to think this is just a typical egyptian-stubborn-people-stupid-culture thing, but then i th…
u mean ava Tegi?
I think one of the main things we could take a lesson from is that it's not required to be a monk or a clergy to become a saint. Abba Tegi was just a normal person like us who led a simple yet holy life.
He is also a great example …
ow yeah, my favorite bible verses:
Ephesians 5:19 - Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord. (caus it speaks of hymns, preferably coptic hymns in my opinion, huraaaaay :P ;…

i don't believe it's as simple as saying "yes", it depends on what u want to change...if GUARDIAN ANGEL could say what kind of change he/she is referring to...

Oh wait; another two cents from a sermon i heard by fr Athanasius Iskandar
He said we have a big potential of love to give, and if we have different bf/gf we won't be able to give all that love to our ONE future spous, which is the reason we should…
