The Six Psalms (Orthros)
Переглядів 1,3 тис.Рік тому
This Six Psalms are read during Orthros or Matins in the Orthodox Church. Strictly speaking, everyone during the reading of these psalms in church is not to move, as these recall The dread last Judgment which will eventually come. Tradition has it that these psalms will be heard at the last judgment as well, from what I have heard. Psalm 3 0:21 Psalm 37 1:06 Psalm 62 3:00 Psalm 87 4:39 Psalm 10...

Переглядів 2,2 тис.Рік тому
This great martyr is a great example to our lives today, where people dress themselves extravagantly and attempt to change their faces to attract others and to be beautiful. Saint Christopher on the other hand saw his beauty as a cross, a temptation, and trouble to his life. He therefore prayed to become hideous, and his face was disfigured. He rejoicing at this, was then able to serve Christ w...

    Good afternoon. I read your comment. I was in this monastery, it is beautiful, the monks are friendly, they fed mе). I came to this monastery from Texas. And I googled and the monastery came up. So it turned out that God led me to this monastery. In this monastery there is an African American and a Chinese priest. I liked this monastery because everyone there is treated with love and care. And it doesn’t matter what nation you are, the color of your skin. If you want to feel God, pray to him. I advise you to go to this monastery. Words cannot express it. I advise you to defend the service, from the beginning to the end of the service. Many do not fully defend the service. And so spend a couple of days there. At the monastery There is a small hotel, it is not expensive, clean, cozy. Address of this monastery and name: ST.Tikhon’s monastery.City Waymart PA.175 ST. Tikhons RD. PA 18472.

    What I struggle with is that I have been in some very abusive relationships and situations, I do not seek to critique someone else as much as simply acknowledge the reality of the situation so that it can be corrected. In my experience not doing this just enables the abuser to continue their abuse. In fact I would say that what the elder has said can very easily be used by manipulative and abusive people to keep themselves in a position of control over their victims.

    Begin established prayers, and if others come to mind stop and do them. Short quality prayer is better than long, zeal-less prayers. Assimilate the contents of the prayers. Memorize morning and evening prayers. Make prostrations. Pray at the end little longer, asking for what you need. Prayerful attention to God throughout the day. Psalms are good for while doing daily work. Pray as you fall asleep. Start with Psalms: 50, 102, 145 Then Psalms: 22, 23, 115, 69 Prayer ropes: Jesus prayer per bead, make prostration each time, add prayers of your own words. Lift the mind and heart to God.

      Hi. I know how that feels. Unfortunately we all sin. We have to focus on our sins, no matter how small they May be and not on what others have done to us. These sufferings dont compare with what awaits us in the lake of fire if we are found unsaved. Forgive what they have done to you, pray that they may be chosen by God and forgiven themselves too. I do understand how it feels but I know we all sin and no sin is acceptable. I wish I could take all the hurt away from every single person but only God can do that. Read carefully the Bible and see what you have to do. The reward fir the saved ones is bigger than any suffering that may occur here on Earth. I am sorry you hâd to suffer and I wish you all the best. Do what you can as quickly as you can , time is running out.

    This is the best St Christopher documentary I've ever read or watched. I disagree with some minor points but these are unprovable. Thank you for all the hard work you put into this project. It deserves far more views and I listen to it in the background once a month. Do the prostitutes he converted have more of a story than converting to Christianity and being martyrs?

    I once bought some incense blessed on the relics of this holy saint and I put it away and some time later I went astray ,lost faith and forgot his name and it caused me grievance to have forgotten his name. His name is not something easy to remember because it's different from names that I'm used to and my memory of names is not good at all. Some time passed and As soon as I came to and my faith was restored ,I went to put up the icons for my prayer corner again Now I still didn't remember the name of the Saint but as soon as I touched the bag of incense that had been blessed on his relics, to put on my prayer corner, his name came to my mind instantly. I started reciting the trisagion by memory and Psalm 50 but I stopped in the middle of Psalm 50 because I had forgotten the rest It caused me grievance I went for the prayer book from the valaam monastery And lo and behold.. the first page I opened randomly was exactly the rest of the psalm where I had forgotten Holy Saint Spyridon,Pray for us.
