Sisters and brothers in Christ,

Saturday in the dawns I have a train to Bucharest, where I will be in a special clinic for heart, for about 2 or 3 weeks. This flesh heart is situated horizontal, with some wrong aspects. The left arm and fingers, the left shoulder, chest, the left cheek burn me. This is the minor aspect. The major aspect is that this silly heart does not receive anymore sufficient O2. And there are more.

Please, in your love, remember me in your prayers, also at Proskomidy.

It is so important to my life to be a little better. This autumn I will do 3 travels. The last is the most important. It does not matter how I will feel, but I will do this last travel. With God's mercy.

Now I feel emptied and I cannot more endure this constant pain, since morning until night.
But do you see how God blessed me? This way I remember every hour I will pass upon a time. And how Geronda Ephraim from Agio Oros said: 'This time is short, and we do not know when it ends.' The soul trembles at such words.

I know that we all are far, different in many aspects, but do you know soemthing?, we are called to meet each other in the Kingdom of God, in entire love and knowledge.
All is a matter of love, for God is love.

Glad Light of the holy glory of the immortal, heavenly, holy and blessed Father, Jesus Christ. Now that we have come to the setting of the sun and have seen the evening light, we praise God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It is meet at all times to praise Thee with happy voices, O Son of God and Giver of Life. Therefore the world glorifies Thee.

Unworthy, Marian +

My apologies. It looks like I posted a prayer request thread for your trip to the hospital about the same time you posted this. Anyway...that is interesting, isn't it?

So you will be getting double the prayers.

I want to sing of your love for ever, I want to sing of your love forever, over the mountain and the seas your river runs with love for me and I will daily lift my hands...

Lord hear the song of Maian's heart. He desires totally to take these trips to live his life in monastic prayer before your Throne of Grace. Heal his heart Lord, restore to him the years that the locust have eaten. Renew a steadfast spirit in his breast as he trusts totally and completely in your love.

Hear the prayer of your faithful servant Marian as he cries out for your mercy to be poured upon his mother and sister, that she may be healed totally from any amality that is causing grief for her spirit. Remove the burning from his body, straiten his heart so it beats according to your heart Jesus. Streghten them all, especially his older brother renewing his health, as he prays and waits in hopeful returning of his family to fullness of health that only you can give to our ailing bodies Lord. For yours alone is the power and the might Jesus. Asking all in filial prayer so we are one with Chirst our Saviour and in his name before our Heavenly Father. Amen.

Beloved Marian,

We have been so blessed with your presence here.

Although you are a holy son of Orthodoxy, you have shown that your love for Christ has no schism and man made boundaries.

Together with all these wonderful posters of all Christian faith traditions here on ByzCath, posters who please God with their love for one another,I too offer my unworthy yet heartfelt and humble prayers for recovery.

May St. Panteleimon and St. Nektarios, our two Orthodox intercessors for health intercede before the awesome seat of our loving God for you, and may we soon rejoice together in your good health.

Troparion to St. Nektarios:

The offspring of Selyvria and the guardian of Aegina,
the true friend of virtue who lived in the last days,
we faithful honor thee, as a Godly servant of Christ,
for thou pourest forth healings of all kinds for those who piously cry out:

Glory to God who glorified thee,
Glory to Him who made thee wondrous,
Glory to Him who worketh healings for all through thee....

Your name will be given in prayer to my priest for Proskomide and for supplication services to our Blessed Lady. May her consolation, protection and love be with you and your family at this time.

With abundant love in Christ,
Alice

With prayers for your appointment Saturday. May our good God grant you healing and health, peace and happiness for many blessed years!

May the holy unmercenary fathers and wonderworkers, guide the physicians, and contribute with their own gifts from heaven.

Marian this is one of my favorite songs and it came to mind when I was posting a prayer for you. I was able to find the words on the web.

I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever

Over the mountains and the sea,
Your river runs with love for me,
and I will open up my heart
and let the Healer set me free.
I'm happy to be in the truth,
and I will daily lift my hands:
for I will always sing of when
Your love came down. [Yeah!]

I could sing of Your love forever,
I could sing of Your love forever,
I could sing of Your love forever,
I could sing of Your love forever. [Repeat]

Oh, I feel like dancing -
it's foolishness I know;
but, when the world has seen the light,
they will dance with joy,
like we're dancing now.

This is the only link I could find to a sample of the song. http://www.audiblefaith.com/pages/sg200071

If you want I can meet you in chat sometime and play the song for you on voice chat. All you would need is speakers. It is much better with Jim Cowan and his group doing it. But this is the guy that wrote it. Oh, by chat, I mean the chat room that they have been using for the Evangelization chat.

Dearest Brother Marian!

My heart is in pain for you!

We all suffer your pain and we are with you in your struggle.

We pray for you and ask you to pray for us since you are so close to the Cross of Christ Whose Heart opened to us His Mercy and Forgiveness.

God go with you until we speak again.

Lord Jesus, through the prayers of Your Most Pure Mother and all the Saints of Romania and all the Saints, have mercy on Marian!

Alex

Thank you all for your words from soul. My own words are weak and cannot express my deep gratitude for you.

I wish to all of you a good Lenten, with spiritual fruits. Let us be as if our Churches already are united. And with God's mercy it will arrive a day in which we all will be able to partake the Blood and the Body of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the same Church.

O Lord and Master of my life,
Grant not unto me a spirit of idleness,
of discouragement,
of lust for power,
and of vain speaking.

But bestow upon me, Thy servant,
the spirit of chastity,
of meekness,
of patience,
and of love.

Yea, O Lord and King,
grant that I may perceive
my own transgressions,
and judge not my brother,
for blessed art Thou
unto ages of ages.
Amen.


May Most Holy Trinity watch over your souls, your beloved families, strenghtening you in love, faith and hope, giving you long-patience with enduring love for all, guiding you on the narrow path straight to the Heavenly Kingdom, refreshing every time your hearts with the dew of His mercy, anointing any wound with the myrrh of His blessings. Amin.

In the Risen Lord Jesus Christ, with brotherly love for you all, Marian +, just a soul, un suflet

Dear Marian

You will be departing soon - and we will all be praying for you.

We look forward to your return.

May our Blessed Lady , the ever virgin Mary , Mother of us all , hold you gently in her arms.

May She spread Her Mantle of Protection over you and keep you safe.
