Long Shere Praxis Response for St. Mary with Mlm. Zaher | مرد الابركسيس الكبير مع المعلم زاهر

Wedding Gospel- Mlm. Maged Milad

O Coptic bride of the Savior
and light of the land of Egypt,
with a burning passion in my heart,
I yearn for you, O Orthodox one! 

Refrain:
Beautiful is the mother of the martyrs! 
Honored is the mother of the noble(s)!
Crossing the sea of suffering, 
by her blood, she kept the faith true. 

O Mother, your love gave me life! 
Your pain is the seed of my faith!
Passing through the most bitter of times,
from them, you emerged victorious! 

Enemies have beaten and banished you,
they imprisoned you and slaughtered you,
food for the beasts they have made you, 
into every torture they pushed you!

O Mother, how faithful were you,
smitten with love for your Bridegroom!?
His secrets are hidden with you, 
and protected by His might are you! 

What is more lovely than my Mother
outcast for the Savior and His servants, 
O joy to him whose love is for you,
who enlivens the Church of his ancestors. 

O that my heart would yearn for you,
to live in the shelter of your shade, 
chasing down your enemies always
and renewing your most youthful days! 

O Mother, your marks are in the valley,  
Your love is burning in my heart,
The pledge of my devotion and love
is to serve the Church of my forefathers.

O Coptic Bride of the Savior

Gregorian Liturgy Litanies (Coptic) | Abouna Philopateer Kamel and Mlm. Ibrahim Ayad

What if sainthood is not for “other people,” but for you today? In this finale, Abouna Elijah answers the big question: how do I become a saint while living in the world with a job, kids, and packed schedules? The goal of the Christian life is not “do fewer bad things.” The goal is Christ in me. Walk through a simple rhythm you can live right now: Recognition → Repentance → Renewal → Radiance. Learn how to find the desert in the city, build a morning prayer rule, practice digital silence, and let holy icons teach cheek to cheek intimacy with Jesus.

SERVANT DEVELOPMENT: External Activities for Acceptable Prayer(Fr. Elijah Iskander)

Upper Room Media is a ministry of the Coptic Orthodox Church. Its mission is to bring the word of God from a timeless faith into your hearts and mind anywhere at anytime.

The Orthodox Church worships God in continuity with the earliest Church, and as such is the oldest Church. It is a Church of balance: between the mystical and the tangible; between spirituality and theology; between the worship of God and service to humanity. Everything is in balance, otherwise known as right worship, which means Orthodox. It is not a denomination, but rather pre-denominational. It is not a religion but rather a life with God in Christ. 

The Orthodox Church worships God in spirit and truth (John 4:24) and dynamically incarnates that truth in every age - empowering all people from all walks of life to love God, others, and themselves.
