St. Mark DC: Your Mercies O my God (Arabic/ English)

Through the tears and the fear Lord 
Thy will be done
In the pain and the heartache
Thy will be done
Though my prayer may beg for mercy
Thy will be done

Thy will, Thy will be done
Hear my prayer Lord 
Thy will, Thy will Be done
I beseech you Lord 
Thy will Thy will be done
Thy will be done 

When they comfort my mourning 
Thy will be done
When you show me Your glory
Thy will be done
When the signs of Your love are revealed
Thy will be done 

Thy will, Thy will Be done
Hear my prayer lord 
Thy will, Thy will Be done
I beseech you Lord 
Thy will, Thy will be done
Thy will be done 

The life that I yearned for 
The time I have lost
The memories I prayed to make 
It’s all in Your hands Lord 
The birds, they are fed
So I know in Your hands I am held

Thy will, Thy will Be done
All I have to cry is 
Thy will, Thy will Be done
On my knees I pray
Thy will, Thy will be done
Thy will be done

ABBA Give me a WORD

INTRO to ABBA Give me a WORD by HG Bishop Gregory

This is part of the series called "ABBA Give me a WORD".

His Grace shares with us some words from St. John of Dalyatha about the power of repentance and how the chains are broken and adversities changed into joy.

“Their chains are broken and their adversities are changed into joy and their tears into great rejoicing. He who had bound them is himself bound by their reins of darkness and delivered by them to the scourgers. Repentance destroys all his works, and all the pains he cause the servants who are not his, she HEALS and RESTORES. All whom he has killed she resuscitates, all his traps she shatters, and all his snares she cuts to bits.[…] She makes fornicators virgins” (Letter 43)


When the Lord Jesus Christ called His disciples, He called them by a few simple words..."Follow Me".

ABBA Give me a WORD: Do Not Despair by HG Bishop Gregory

This is part of the series called "ABBA Give me a WORD" by HG Bishop Gregory.

His Grace shares with us some words from St. John Climacus:
“Run from places of sin as from the plague. For when fruit is not present, we have no frequent desire to eat it." (Ladder of Divine Ascent Step 3.9)

Then His Graces shares with some words from St. Gregory of Nyssa:
“Now having learned what great power for evil the disease of pleasure possesses, we should conduct our lives as far removed from it as possible; otherwise the disease may find some opening against us, like fire whose very proximity causes an evil flame.[…] So also it is in our power to remain unaffected by passion as long as we stay far away from the thing that enflames. […] For the evils of the passions, like a plague, when once they have gained possession of the critical parts, stop only at death.” ("The Life of Moses” 2.303)

When the Lord Jesus Christ called His disciples, He called them by a few simple words..."Follow Me".

ABBA Give me a WORD: Avoiding the Virus by HG Bishop Gregory

This is part of the series called "ABBA Give me a WORD".

His Grace shares with us some words from St Eusebius of Caesarea says concerning this treatise:
“A pestilent disease took possession of many provinces of the whole world, and especially Alexandria and Egypt; as Dionysius writes, and the treatise of Cyprian ‘concerning the Mortality’ bears witness.”(1)

Then His Graces shares with some words from St. Cyprian of Carthage’s Treatise 7: On the Mortality, Part 16:
“…beloved brethren, what is it, what a great thing is it, how pertinent, how necessary, that that pestilence and plague which seems horrible and deadly, searches out the righteousness of each one, and examines the minds of the human race, to see (1) whether they who are in health tend the sick; (2) whether relations affectionately love their family; (3) whether masters pity their weakened servants; (4) whether physicians do not forsake the beseeching patients; (5) whether the fierce suppress their violence; (6) whether the greedy can quench the ever insatiable desire of their raging avarice even by the fear of death; (7) whether the arrogant bend their neck; (8) whether the wicked soften their boldness; (9) whether, when their dear ones perish, the rich, even then bestow anything, and give, when they are to die without heirs. (10) Even although this mortality conferred nothing else, it has done this benefit to Christians and to God’s servants, that we begin gladly to desire martyrdom as we learn not to fear death. These are trainings for us, not deaths: they give the mind the glory of fortitude; by contempt of death they prepare for the crown.” (2)

ABBA Give me a WORD: Use Pestilence to Search me O God by HG Bishop Basil

This is part of the series called "ABBA Give me a WORD".

His Grace shares with us some words from St. Gregory the Theologian in Oration 17:
“Just take the first step. Comfort is near, on your lips and in your heart. I remembered God, says the Psalmist, and rejoiced. What could be easier than remembering? You too remember and rejoice. The remedy is so simple! The cure so fast! The gift so magnificent! The remembrance of God not only lulls the sense of desolation and anguish but also gives rise to joy.”

His Graces asks us to train ourselves to remember God!

ABBA Give me a WORD: Remember God by HG Bishop Gregory

His Grace takes us on a journey of the Holy Pascha week and asks us to build our relationship with the Lord seeking to apply one meditation each day to our personal lives as an individual or as a family.

His Grace begins with the resurrection of Lazarus to the resurrection of our Lord, we can see the Lord yearning to live with us here on earth and eternally as He seeks our salvation.
 - Lazarus Saturday: "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?" (John 11:25)

- Palm Sunday: The Lord reveals Himself as the King of Kings who comes humbly riding on a donkey in the Jerusalem of my heart seeking to be enthroned therein. Will accept His Lordship or will I leave Him weeping over me as He wept over Jerusalem.

- Monday Pascha: Christ is the gardener of my soul that asks what shall I yet do for my vineyard that I have not done for it. He comes as a second Adam clearing the land of my heart from the thorns of my sin as He cleanse the temple. Will I remain barren like the cursed fig tree or will I yield the fruit of the Holy Spirit?

- Tuesday Pascha: Christ is my beloved bridegroom Who seeks to unite with me intimately; enticing me to prepare for our heavenly wedding with talk of His Second Coming. He urges me to leave my spiritual prostitution to be consecrating to Him alone. Will I detach myself from the temple pleasures and idols of this world that I may begin eternal life with the Beloved here and now?

- Wednesday Pascha: The Lord is the One Who patiently waits for my repentance as He accepted the repentance of the woman who wept at His feet. Will I offer the Lord the fragrant oil and tears of repentance as the sinful woman did or my words be those of Judas, smoother than oil yet drawing swords, betraying my Master?

- Covenant Thursday: My Lord and Teacher kneels to wash my feet and cleanse me that I may learn from His humility and do as He has done washing the feet of His children. The Bread of Life offers His Body and Blood to me; that He may abide in me and I in Him. Will accept for the Lord to wash my feet and humbly offer myself to others?

- Great Friday: The Mighty One, the only Begotten Son, shows me by weakness what is greater than power when He offers Himself as an acceptable sacrifice on the cross for my salvation. The spotless and silent Lamb of God takes upon Himself the sins of the whole world and the author of Life dies on the cross and is buried in a tomb that He may bury my sins with Him. Will I confess my sins with the thief and accept His love for me, crying out "Remember me O Lord, when You come into Your Kingdom"?

- Bright Saturday: The True light descends into the darkness of Hades that He may shine upon those who were there and preach to them the salvation that He has accomplished. Descend into the darkness of my sinful soul, O Lord, and reveal to me the Kingdom of Heaven therein, shine within me that I may see the rums of the ladder to the paradise of joy which You have opened for me. 

His Graces then shares with us words from St Gregory the Theologian: "O Pascha, great and holy and purifier of all the world, I will speak to you as to a living being" (Oration 45:30).
