    End Times - Holy Spirit

    There is a woman I know who seems very preoccupied with the End Times. She even has dreams which she interprets to represent various signs warning of the "end". While I feel for her, because she is so worried about it, I kindly listen to her and nod... because nothing she has said has actually...

    Commemorating pre-ordination name

    I was posed a question today to which I thought I knew the answer... Let's say we are celebrating the Feast Day of St. George. A boy is born and baptized as George. Later in life he gets tonsured as a priest-monk (Hieromonk) with the name of Luke. He is now known as Father Luke... and...

    Prayer in time of Coronavirus

    This was published by my hierarchs, of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA. The prayer is to be read during the Liturgy of Fervent Supplication during all services until the issue fades... ...and read at home by the laity.  We have added it to our 10 PM daily Evening Prayers.

    Prayer read during Pentecost... in the Slavic Tradition...

    I am looking for the English wording of a prayer that I have in Ukrainian. As close as I've been able to deduce, I believe it is a prayer read by the priest on Pentecost... "after" the Kneeling Prayers... that the Greeks have dropped. I could translate it... but, it would be choppy... and I...

    Suicide Hotline

    I am looking for a number to publish in an Orthodox context. In the last year, I've been made aware of 7 suicides.  Most were schoolmates of my nieces and nephews, but, a couple were young Orthodox faithful.  One girl was not able to get over her boyfriend leaving her, the other wasn't able to...

    Fr. Bazyl

    I ask for prayers for the soul of Fr. Bazyl Zawierucha, who reposed in the Lord yesterday. Father Bazyl was a wonderful priest - full of wisdom and wit.  He was a walking "Rudder"...and he lived the Faith through his words and actions.  He was kind and compassionate and a consummate gentleman -...

    Prayers for Jory

    Jory is not Orthodox.  In fact, I do not know what Faith, if any, he adheres to....but please remember him in your daily prayers. He is a young man who has overdosed...and has been comatose for six weeks, with very little hope (practically none) of survival. However, I believe in the power of...

    Food offered to pagan gods

    Today my Indian coworker is celebrating "New Year". He is a very kind and generous man.  He often purchases snacks and drinks for the office, and leaves it all out for anyone to enjoy.  He is most gracious...and often will bring Indian food for us to taste and experience.

    Please pray for Robert who attempted suicide

    Please pray for Bob who finds himself in a very dark place...ridden with guilt...and cannot seem to realize there is always hope. He is RC, and was slowly finding his way back to God after a long spiraling downfall. Without God's assistance, he will not be able to shake the demon...

    ...an apparition.

    I spoke with a friend of mine just now. He shared with me a story of a recent visit to a monastery in the hills, in a holy place. Most of the pilgrims went ahead, up the mountainside to the church at the top, while he remained behind.  It was a long hike up the hill, and he was tired.  It was...
