Dearest Zenovia, Thank you for your words of praise!  I guess I really should, then, tell you what I did . . .  I was praising the Orthodox Christians on this forum and I ommitted Alice in such a way so as to upset her (wasn't my intention, but it usually never is when I upset people here and elsewhere . . .). FYI, Alice has forgiven me, great Christian lady that she is! Alex

Prayer always for such a wonderful soul as Alice aka Aggeliki.
Sisters and brothers,
Please, respect my Orthodox sister Alice. Zenovia, Anhelyna, Alexander and so many others, please, defend and help our noble sister Alice, please.
Alexander, you have a special gift of writing. Think of Christ and run to become gentle and helpful before our sister Alice. Prayer for you and Tanya, my brother, until end!
Distinguished Administrator John, Fathers, I truly expect that this place become one of peace.
Christ is all.
We are a some ships traveling on this turmoiled sea of life. Let us have as compass Lord Jesus Christ.
In Risen Christ, Marian+

I, too, join everyone in praying for Moderator Alice. I remember each of the Forum moderators by name in my prayers every night. I pray that she resolve whatever issues are before her at this time.

Dear Marian (and everyone),
I am concerned about your suggestion that the Forum is not currently a place of peace. If you have any specific knowledge that the Forum is not currently a place of peace I invite you to bring the details to my attention.
We must always remember that although the Forum is like a cyber coffee hour after Liturgy people are responsible for what they post. Moderators address issues as soon as they become apparent. I understand that those who make mistakes in posting can get upset when they are corrected. All moderators try to be gentle when they offer correction. Usually it is done behind the scenes (via PM). Sometimes, however, in the interest of charity fraternal correction must be done publicly and with resolve.
Prayers for all for fruitful remainder of the Fast.
John (Admin)

Hear us oh Lord!
Paraclesis -
Sixth Chant
Before the Lord, I pour out my supplication; to Him I complain about my sorrow, for my soul is filled with iniquity and my life close to the Abyss. Therefore, like Jonah, I cry out: "Raise me from corruption, O my God!"
R. O most holy Theotokos, save us!
--O Virgin, beseech your Lord and your Son who delivered himself to death and saved my nature from death and corruption to which it had been bound, that He may deliver me from the hands of the enemy.
R. O most holy Theotokos, save us!
--I believe, O Virgin, that through your intercession you save and protect my life, dispelling many temptations and casting out the cunning snares of the devil. Now I implore you without
ceasing: Deliver me from my corrupting passions.
R. O most holy Theotokos, save us!
--O Maiden, you have been given to us as a wall behind which we may seek refuge, as a perfect means of salvation for our souls, as a joy in our tribulations, for we always find delight in your light. O Lady, save us always from every danger and evil desire.
--Glory be to the Father +, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and forever. Amen.
--Behold how sick I am: I lie upon my bed, and there is no healing for me. I come to you in your goodness, for you have given birth to the Savior of the World. Deliver me from my disease and raise me from the pain of my affliction.
Kontakion (Tone 6)
O gentle protectress of Christians, unfailing advocate before the Creator, do not despise the prayerful voice of sinners, but in your goodness, hasten to assist us who trustfully cry out to you: "Inspire us to prayer and hasten to hear our supplications. Intercede always, O Mother of God, in behalf of those who honor you."
--Let us be attentive. Peace + be with all. Wisdom! Be attentive!
R. Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth, sing praise to his Name! Give to Him glorious praise!
--Let us pray to the Lord.
R. Lord, have mercy!
--For You are holy, our God, and You dwell in the holy place, and we glorify You, Father +, Son, and Holy Spirit, now and ever and forever.
R. Amen.

I thank God for this forum and for the beautiful spirit it encompasses. Your prayers are appreciated from the bottom of my heart. May God bless you and may our Lord have mercy on us all! In Christ our Lord and Saviour, Alice

Dear John, You REALLY are 'a nice guy'! I thank you for all your good wishes and prayers, but most of all, I thank you for your appreciation. We all need to hear that we are appreciated for the work we do from time to time. I would like to pray that our Lord God will bless you abundantly for your good and kind heart. It has been said by an Orthodox monastic Father, that the more one loves God, the more he loves his fellow man. From what I see of you on this forum, you love God very, very much. Again, may our good and merciful God bless you, Alice
