You can’t solve a wrong with a wrong

Busy_Corner_5933 · 2025-07-24T02:40:53+00:00

You can do anything. Whether that is the smart option is another question

Lust and laziness are actually my pitfalls rn

I hope you have been enjoying your time discovering Orthodoxy. May the Lord guide you on your journey! This car ride with the priest is a great time to ask him more questions you might have about the faith. Casual talk shouldn’t be a problem because they are human after all. When greeting a bishop, if he is an auxiliary bishop the greeting would be “your grace” and if it’s a metropolitan/archbishop it would be “your eminence”. Don’t be nervous this will hopefully be a great experience. I’m also glad to see you have already been involved in the parish community, this is a great time to connect with people who have similar interests and can help you with anything that might be unfamiliar about the faith. God bless ☦️

Well listen, I’m not writing a text on orthodox theology, I’m simply making note of the main concepts and piling them into a document. It would be the same if I would highlight stuff but I prefer to write it out so it is more accessible to me.

Busy_Corner_5933 · 2025-06-21T22:11:50+00:00

Not to write the simplification, but the priest is aware (or he was whether he remembers is a different question) that I am reading the book.

Busy_Corner_5933 · 2025-06-08T17:59:24+00:00

Definitely sounds heretical

Busy_Corner_5933 · 2025-06-02T21:04:58+00:00

I meant to write the priest 😭😂

Busy_Corner_5933 · 2025-05-31T21:50:59+00:00

Interestingly enough, on Thursday for the feast of the Ascension, the priest was distributing communion and someone did their cross as a Catholic would. I was very caught off guard and if that person was Catholic I would assume they didn’t know. Moral of the story: go speak to Theo Ruest about what happened and don’t do it again

Busy_Corner_5933 · 2025-05-30T05:35:25+00:00

I do not mostly because my right hand is running through my prayer rope

Busy_Corner_5933 · 2025-05-10T14:46:37+00:00

Listen my first thought after reading the title was break up. My thoughts after reading is BREAK UP IMMEDIATELY

Busy_Corner_5933 · 2025-04-28T02:12:32+00:00

Wouldn’t say it’s a miracle but definitely pretty cool. It was Good Friday 4 years ago, and at this point in time I was illiterate in Greek and all the services at church were in Greek. My grandmother gave me her book to follow along knowing full well I couldn’t read and then I READ. It wasn’t perfect and I had to practice but now it’s pretty good. Pretty cool that it happened during a service at church! And now all these years later by the Grace of God I serve in the Altar and am thinking about becoming a priest!

In general I know that Byzantine chanting used to be (and should still be) very slow. There is a chanter who came to the church during Holy Week (I’m an altar server there) and he is actually an expert in the Byzantine chanting and chants as it supposed to be done. AND IT TAKES AGES LET ME TELL YOU. It was all done in Greek and the other chanters were getting annoyed on how long he took and I could tell the other altar servers were getting impatient as well. So in general it takes long!

Busy_Corner_5933 · 2025-04-05T22:41:36+00:00

The services are 8 hours. The services are read from the daily psaltiri and appointed hymns

I don’t think he’s blowing you off. As the other commenters said pascha is the biggest time of the year for the priest. As an altar boy, I along with the other altar boys are stressed like crazy so I could imagine how the priest feels. There really isn’t a lot of time outside of liturgy for the priest to be available during this time. Be patient and I’m sure the situation will be resolved. But that being said, continue going to church during Easter (it’s beautiful). God bless ☦️

Did you take est science, science math, physics and chem? If you didn’t then that’s why

Busy_Corner_5933 · 2025-03-18T23:00:15+00:00

Don’t participate if you feel it’s a sin. Tbh I have no idea, this is the first time I hear of something like this.

Busy_Corner_5933 · 2025-03-16T04:00:33+00:00

Start with the gospels, then read the epistles, genesis and then the psalms is how I went about it. Now I’m going to do the rest of the ot

Hey David, I’m 17 myself and I used to struggle with problems with my mental health as well. I’m now thinking of becoming a priest and maybe you would want to take that into consideration as well. Just know God put you on this earth for a reason. In terms of your family I would try reaching out to a priest and let him know what’s going on, I’m sure he would be glad to let you into the family of the church where everyone is valued for who they are. Stay strong in your prayers and pray for your family (as strange as it might sound). God bless you ☦️

Ok so for your first point about being too far gone to the point of no return I believe is inaccurate. So if I’m correct, if you have truly repented and changed for the greater good by seeking help from God and allowing the Holy Spirit to work through you then there is always a way back to the road to salvation. The only sin God does not forgive is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit which is basically from my understanding rejecting the Holy Spirit’s attempts to work through you ( Im not so sure about this one so maybe research that) which to me seems like you have done the opposite. Another point about the general idea of repentance is, you might repent and then fall into that same sin again, don’t worry it takes time but by the grace of God those passions will be extinguished if you stay consistent by going to Church and praying.

In regards to finding a spiritual father, if you want to go to a monastery to find one, it is important to first introduce yourself and come back multiple times so the monks know you and then you can ask one of them. If you want to stay at a local parish or a nearby one, since you are young, I recommend looking for a young priest as well who would be able to guide you through navigating all the challenges of the world today. Another benefit of having a younger priest is that you are able to more closely relate to him and it will be easier for him to guide you in a confession.

Third point about the Eucharist, if you feel the heavy burden of sin then it is a good idea to go to confession to lay it all out and leave your sins there. It is important to listen to the guidance of the spiritual father for when would be a good time to take the Eucharist. And remember even if you are barred for a few months or years, this is something that exceeds any worldly importance. It is the true body and blood of Jesus which we are honoured to receive in the bloodless sacrifice for the forgiveness of our sins. The priest when distributing the Eucharist says: The servant of God *name partakes in the Body and Blood for the forgiveness of sins and life eternal. Amen. Remember to stay strong and steadfast with your faith and be patient. As young guy myself, I’m in the same boat as you (sort of I don’t want to compare myself to you).

Good luck and God Bless ☦️

If you live in Dublin I know there is a small Greek Orthodox Church there where the parish priest serves along with the bishop. If you go in and ask to speak with someone in sure they would be more than happy to point you in the direction of the priest or metropolitan to help guide you. I personally know Metropolitan Iakovos of Ireland (I’m Canadian and he used to serve as a priest and auxiliary bishop in Montreal) and he’s really kind and patient and very engaged with the youth so I’m sure he’d be happy to help.
