    I'm Roman Catholic. The beginning of this Divine Liturgy was so breathtaking that I literally had to pause the video and take a deep breath. Orthodoxy is truly otherworldly. Please pray for me.

      Every sacrament in Orthodoxy begins with those words: Blessed is the kingdom. And because it was still before Ascension when this was filmed, the priest will sing: ‘Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death and to those in the tombs bestowing life.’ It’s truly beautiful!

    I've only been able to attend an Orthodox Divine Liturgy once. I don't really understand it. How do these people know exactly what to chant and when? Is it the same thing chanted every time but with small parts changed depending on the calendar so that everyone just memorizes all 2 hours of it? It's beautiful! I was amazed the one time I was able to attend it in person but I still don't quite understand.

      I am always reluctant to share the Divine Liturgy online, dear one, because prayer has meaning and life IN the moment and in the place where it is said. The Divine Liturgy is built around the Sacrament of communion with Christ's Body and Blood, and that cannot be done remotely - it is a real, actual, physical meeting between the Lord and those present in the church. But I also understand that many people find it difficult to get to church, and some struggle even more with getting past the barriers placed before them because they are not yet Orthodox. So we post these services from time to time, and we trust that Christ will use them as He knows

I am aware of my own sins and I feel the responsibility of how my words may influence people, so I always pray that Christ multiplies what is good in my words (if anything) and that He may correct any mistake I may make

    Why does an icon cover a portion of the screen for a bit? Is this because laymen cannot see past the altar doors in a usual church? Is it too holy? Really interested.

    • @mullmonastery
      @mullmonastery  3 місяці тому +21

      The smaller icon is covering the Sacraments, dear one, as the Holy Doors would be covering them in the church. It's not because they are 'too holy' (although they are) - don't forget that we actually commune with the Sacraments, we eat Christ's True Body and we drink His Real Blood, there is nothing more intimate, no connection more direct than that. It's simply as a reminder that the Things with which we commune are Divine and that we should approach them with fear and profound respect.
      The larger icon is covering me as I commune myself, so that my openess and vulnerability in that moment stays (as it should) between me and Christ.
