Dear Friends in Christ,

Glory be to Jesus Christ!

After some difficulty I am finally able to open up this forum. Spasibo Bozje! Thanks be to God!I think we should begin in the proper Byzantine way by invoking our God:

O Heavenly King, Comforter, Spirit of Truth, Who are everywhere present and fill all things, Treasury of Blessings and Giver of Life: come and dwell within us, cleanse us from all stain and save our souls, O Gracious One.
