☦ Prayer For This New Infectious Disease from the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese

A Prayer To Be Offered in the Morning~

Lord our God, You who are rich in mercy, and with careful wisdom direct our lives, listen to our prayer, receive our repentance for our sins, bring an end to this new infectious disease, this new epidemic, just as you averted the punishment of your people in the time of David the King. You who are the Physician of our souls and bodies, grant restored health to those who have been seized by this illness, raising them from their bed of suffering, so that they might glorify You, O merciful Savior, and preserve in health those who have not been infected. By your grace, Lord, bless, strengthen, and preserve, all those who out of love and sacrifice care for the sick, either in their homes or in the hospitals. Remove all sickness and suffering from your people, and teach us to value life and health as gifts from You. Give us Your peace, O God, and fill our hearts with unflinching faith in Your protection, hope in Your help, and love for You and our neighbor. For Yours it is to have mercy on us and save us, O our God, and to You we ascribe glory: to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and forever, to the ages of ages. Amen.

That nice man blew it away in April 2020…

Televangelist Kenneth Copeland

Feel safer/better now?

Of course he wants us to send him lots of money.

This is the Catholic safe haven, son. We Catholics have to go to confession if we want forgiveness. (Already went to mass today, so I'm covered.) Get your butt in a church, son. Otherwise, you'll have to console yourself with the knowledge that God takes care of drunks and fools. You'll probably be covered either way.

I took you at your word that you have been forgiven but you attempt to take God's position of passing judgement.

Your ultimate debating skill is name calling.

May the Lord Jesus Christ forgive you.

Besides, once again, both faiths have the sacrament of Penance. You're not going to have it. So, by our standards, you're not forgiven. And I'm not debating you. I'm remarking on a very persistent troll.

Why would you natter on about a god you don't believe in? Nuts.

Has anybody ever pointed out the group rules to you?

"This is a safe haven group where discussions about Catholicism and Orthodoxy take place in a forum free from gratuitous attacks or derision of religion and religious beliefs. There are other places for those who really like to do that. Our focus is on the beliefs and traditions of Catholicism and Orthodoxy. For the rest, welcome, and pax vobiscum. Peace be among you.:

This isn't the first time you've been here, and you engage in a lot of derision. Can't you do this somewhere else? Go the Religion Forum. You'll be a hero.

Since they're obviously not going to do anything about you, it's best that I put you on ignore. So long.

Yes, ✝️Catholic and ☦Orthodox both hold the gift of salvation primary. After that comes the gift of repentance through the sacrament/mystery of confession.

For this new year I pray safety, health and peace be unto you, my dear Christ bearer.
