So, earlier today, I frantically texted Father Peter. I was having a moment, like so many I have had lately, of complete despair. Yet, not the O, jeeze, life stinks, what am I gonna do?" kind, more like the O, jeeze, I suck at life, my sins are weighing me down, I'm not good enough for God"kind.
See, for the past two months I've been jamming a metric F-ton of Orthodox theology, prayer rule, and general insight into the steaming lump of gravy I once called my brain. Not to mention diving head first into practice and prayer. And I wonder why I feel guilty.
Duh! I'm a sinner! We all are! And, at this point, I have a ravenous hunger for God, and His Divine Mercy and Grace. I get to thinking chrismation can never come soon enough. But that's the thing, no? I gotta work for it. More prayer, more listening, more study.
Oh, and the point I was getting to...
So I sent a text saying as much in far fewer words. He replied that his family would pray for me tonight.
That was more than I ever could have asked for.
Love in Christ, yo.

Orthodox Prayer
So, I got an itch to sit in front of my computer and spend several hours typing and formatting the prayers found in the Orthodox Study Bible.
Print, share, and enjoy!

An open letter to all Christians
Here's a thought on Grace...
The Christian faith is not a system of formulas. There is no magic spell, no rite or code for the bestowing of the Holy Spirit. It is not in any mans right, nor power, to claim absolute authoroty over such a gift. it is by Gods Grace alone that the Spirit is give, and we mere mortals can only do our best to discern where that is, and how we can make good of it.
The eternal Priesthood of Jesus Christ is just that, Eternal. Ours is fleeting, and by his Grace and personal touch in our hearts alone that gives us any amount of "Pastoral Authority". The dogmatic institution of "church" is comprised of the laws of God and man.
The universal Church of God relies on His word alone. Education aside, NO ONE can keep me from breaking bread with any one at all. Friend, or foe, repentant or not. I will continue to share my faith and glorify His Name until the day He puts me to rest.
