Download or read book The Coptic Text of the Prayer Book of the Hours of the Coptic Orthodox Church written by Edward I. Rizkalla and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2014-06-30 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Prayers of the Hours, known in the Coptic language as the Agpeya, are popular prayers used by the vast majority of the Christians of Egypt, the Copts. The Agpeya is in fact, Bible-centered prayers, composed for the most part of a selection of psalms from the Old Testament, and gospel readings from the New Testament, with some added hymns of praise and other prayers. The Agpeya prayers are usually recited by both individuals and families for prayers at home, as well as for communal prayers at Church as introductory prayers recited prior to Mass. The present book presents the "Bohairic-Coptic" text of the Agpeya. It is written according to the rites of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria, Egypt, and follows the prayers and order of the contemporary Agpeya. It is presented in "Coptic-only" using the same text format used by contemporary liturgical books of the Coptic Orthodox Church. The text has been compiled from different sources, each of which based on extant and documented primary sources. It was further reviewed against a primary source, a 19th century Coptic-Arabic Agpeya manuscript hand-written by Pope Cyril V(1874-1920), one the eminent Fathers of the Coptic Orthodox Church, and a recognized authority of a high stature.

Download or read book All That I Have Is Yours 100 Meditations with St Pope Kyrillos VI on the Spiritual Life written by Kyrillos Ibrahim and published by Spirituality. This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All That I Have Is Yours is a book of daily spiritual meditations that beautifully interweaves together 100 stories of encounters with St. Pope Kyrillos VI, along with 100 unique and penetrating meditations on the spiritual life. Each chapter begins with a verse from the Psalms following the daily order and structure of the Coptic Orthodox Book of Hours (Agpeya). Hence, the readings begin with prayer and guide the reader to a greater appreciation and use of the Psalter.The predominant theme of these stories and spiritual meditations is the love of God; the creative, redemptive, and salvific love of God which draws us into a privileged divine filiation with our Heavenly Father and Who says to us, "Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours." (Luke 15:31).Fr. Kyrillos Ibrahim currently serves as a priest at St. Paul American Coptic Orthodox Church in Orange County, California. He holds an M.A. in Theology from Holy Apostles College and Seminary. In February 2007, he was one of the first second-generation youths to be ordained to the priesthood by His Eminence Metropolitan Serapion to serve in the Diocese of Los Angeles. Fr. Kyrillos is also on the faculty of St. Athanasius and St. Cyril Coptic Orthodox Theological School (ACTS) teaching courses in dogmatics, patristics, and spiritual theology.

Download or read book The Nature of Christ written by H.H. Pope Shenouda III and published by Dar El Tebaa El Kawmia. This book was released on 1985-01-01 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nature of Christ is a very important subject that caused a serious dissension within the Church in the fifth century, in 451 AD. When the theological dialogue started as an effort towards the unity of churches, the subject had to be discussed. Therefore, our Orthodox Church found it necessary to issue a book which presents its concept in this regard in a language fit for theological dialogues. This subject (the Nature of Christ) was taught by me to the students of the Seminary "St. Mark Theological College" in 1984 in the form of lectures which I delivered to them in St. Bishoy Monastery, Sheheit Desert, as part of the courses of comparative Theology. The lectures were printed merely for the use of the students. The same lectures were afterwards translated into English in Ottawa, Canada, in 1980 and became available in English only for six years... We had to print them in Arabic for the students of the Seminary and its branches and for the benefit of those who are interested in theological studies whether ministers or ordinary individuals.. and whoever has the desire-from other churches to be acquainted with our concept of Christology. The first theological dialogue we attended on this subject was in Vienna, Austria in September 1971 AD convened by the ProOriente Group. In this dialogue we reached a theological formula that was accepted by our Catholic brothers and those in the old Oriental orthodox churches: the Syrians, Arminians, Ethiopians and Indians. It was an important dialogue indeed, for the dissension that occurred in the fifth century had distorted the face of every church before the other.. But now the way is open for a common understanding. Then, there was an official agreement with the Catholic churches after 17 years of differences (since 1988), based on the previous understanding. The agreement was recorded in a concise "Statement" which you will find at the end of this book. There was another dialogue, in more detail, with our brothers in the Byzantine Orthodox Churches in St. Bishoy Monastery, Sheheit Desert in 1989 AD. It was attended by the theologians of twenty Orthodox Churches and was followed by another meeting of the priestly representatives of the Orthodox churches in Chambesy, Geneva, in 1990. Now, seeing it is necessary to make our people acquainted with the details and evidences that prove our concept of the Nature of Christ, and since the Pro-Oriente Group is convening a religious conference for the representatives of all Churches at the end of October 1991 to present to them the Agreed Statement on Christology. And since we were asked to present a paper on the subject and deliver it as a lecture in the conference. Therefore, we proceeded to print the former lectures delivered in the Seminary in 1984 as a book to be presented to the conference and to be available in Arabic and in English for all who are interested. Pope Shenouda III

The Books mentioned below were added by Malan to his English translation; the Ethiopic is divided into sections of varying length, each dealing with a different subject. Books 1 and 2 begin immediately after the expulsion from the Garden of Eden, and end with the testament and translation of Enoch. Great emphasis is placed in Book 1 on Adam's sorrow and helplessness in the world outside the garden.
