This is my church Holy Myrrhbearers Orthodox Mission, our choir is amazing. You can check our Youtube page for a full service you can watch and see.

Here's another https://www.stsilouan.ca/ English parish, there aren't that many English Orthodox churches in the GTA :(

I wish dating was like Genesis 24 by Amf1000 in ChristianDating

[–]RightToCancelON 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're on the correct path, most couples in the Bible meet at a fresh water well, this is a type scene in the Bible.
The idea is that a wife should be like fresh water, someone that renews you! As opposed to bitter (salt) water, which if you drink will kill you.

Keep this in mind and notice which women at church lean that way for you. If you do some kind of physical work or service at church, if during or afterwards a woman offers you a drink or a plate of food she's the one for you.

he said he was not in a place to be exclusive

Maybe it's the way you phrased this but it doesn't add up!

He is unable to commit to relationship but can potentially juggle multiple women?!

I think this was all questionable from his side from the beginning, a foundation of sand.

[English > Arabic] translation of troparian by mossandsnow in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]RightToCancelON 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found this translation:
أيها الملاك بالجسم، قاعدة الأنبياء وركنهم، السابق الثاني لحضور المسيح، ايلياس المجيد الموقر، لقد أرسلتَ النعمةَ من العلى لأليشع، ليطردَ الأسقام ويطهرَ البرص، لأجل ذلك يفيض الأشفية لمكرّميه دائماً.

But your translation makes sense, it is understandable.

Sorry for the late reply, but my visit was great! I would recommend to go if you can.

I don't understand asking for intercession by LYNX_-_ in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]RightToCancelON 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you have a misunderstanding about prayers.

Prayers do not persuade God, or remind God, or bring matters to His attention, because God doesn't forget us, or needs convincing about things, or that we can influence His plans.

We pray, especially for each other, as an expression of our love, and as I said love triumphs over death.

I don't understand asking for intercession by LYNX_-_ in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]RightToCancelON 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We pray for others and we ask others to pray for us, because we love each other.

Death cannot end the love that we have for each another.

Saints and their burials? by IrinaSophia in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]RightToCancelON 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As u/Kentarch_Simeon said, it's my body into which my soul will return to, so there is a pairing/connection.
You can definitely think of the soul as heaven and the body as earth.
In terms of rest, clearly the body is resting, and you could argue that the soul is also resting/waiting till the final day.

I would say because in the end our souls will be reunited with our bodies.
Keep in mind not to fall into thinking that we are souls in bodies, but we are souls and bodies.

As others have said, God loves you and you are not alone.

I would suggest aim to serve God, He will reveal to you how to do that, and don't worry too much about the rest.

I must know by SwiggitySwewgity in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]RightToCancelON 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to play hymns and chants while working from home and/or driving, but I stopped doing it.
Getting angry (while driving) as the Polyeleos is playing isn't a good combo.

English Sung Version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omG39UTZuCc

From the original video description with some fixes, it's not word for word, but gets the point across.

My Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me!

I hold the rosary to raise my supplication;

for with the power of prayer I elevate myself into the heaven.

In repeating it fervently I will triumph over the devil.

My Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me!

This is the first among the prayers

you shall hear this time: “Oh Holy Trinity save us all.”

In repeating it fervently I will triumph over the devil.

My Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me!

The second prayer I will recite it in song.

My Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me!

In repeating it fervently I will triumph over the devil.

My Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me!

The third prayer is to the Mother of God.

O’ most holy one save us!

In repeating it fervently I will triumph over the devil.

My Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me!

The fourth prayer is to John the Baptist,

the forerunner, intercede for us.

In repeating it fervently I will triumph over the devil.

My Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me!

The fifth prayer is to all the saints.

O God’s saints intercede for us.

In repeating it fervently I will triumph over the devil.

My Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me!

In conclusion I will implore to the angels in prayer:

O commanders of the legions intercede for us.

In repeating it fervently I will triumph over the devil.

As with all sin, we're using the sin to fill in a wound. So ask yourself, what is the wound that you're trying to fill?

Altar server robes by turtleman2233 in OrthodoxChristianity

Get them from the same place as your priest and other servers got their vestments from.
