God Bless you and thy faithful in mine Christ Jesus. May many more repent and be pabtised and trust in thy Christ Jesus. May many come together this thanksgiving and reflect. Amen 💖💖💖🙏
I love how Christians on the other side of the world follow the same liturgical cycle we do here, and heard the same Scripture reading yesterday (the parable of the rich landowner). A beautiful reminder of how the Divine Liturgy transcends space and time. Glory to God.
Great question! Pascha is actually the Greek word for Passover. Because the Lord's resurrection is the fulfillment of Passover and Israel's deliverance. Whatever we call it, that's the point people need to see: that Easter is actually the new Passover (as the hymns of Pascha say, again and again).
Let's look at it another way: how many adults fully realize what's happening to them in baptism? We don't need to be able to understand God for Him to act in our lives.
Exciting video Steve, well done! Is difficult to give THANKS to all situations, specially to these ones who are negative in your life. I mean to be a believer and bad things happen to you at the same time! BUT THANKS GOD! ΔΩΞΑ ΤΩ ΘΕΩ ΠΆΝΤΩΝ ΕΝΕΚΕΝ!
Every night in my prayers I thank God for my blessings both good and those that seem not so good! Also as a child I started to make everyone around the table say what they were thankful for and my father got a little grumpy one year. My mother said Kerry this is a nice thing so answer her hahaha!
This is something theologians have been talking about for quite some time. Some of the things we disagree on may not actually be real disagreements, but rather misunderstandings. So right now, no, Malankara Orthodox aren't part of the Church. But that may change in the years/decades ahead. God willing.
