His Grace shares with us some requirements for prayer in these multipart tracks. In part 3, we meditate on another requirement:
 
“among all other virtues undertaken by people, there is none better than [prostrations],” “it terrifies the demons.” - St. Pope Kyrillos VI

St. Isaac in homily 64 says: “More than the practice of psalmody , love prostrations during prayer"

All the quotes are found in A Silent Patriarch by Fr. Daniel Fanous

Financial Transparency In Marriage

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.
