Pray without ceasing

Day 24 (4th Wednesday of the Great Fast)

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” (1 Thes 5:16-18)

By year 333 C.E., Orthodox churches were built and the Gospel was heard in Eritrea. The Orthodox Church grew tremendously in the high lands of Eritrea and the Good news spread very fast to other parts of Eritrea as well as in the neighboring country, Ethiopia. Soon Christianity was adopted by King Ezana as the official religion of the Kingdom of Axum, which was ruling Eritrea and, Tigray, northern part of Ethiopia.

Is It Correct to Pray to the Virgin?

We do not pray to the Virgin but we address her when we pray and entreat her to intercede for us. Not only do we address the Virgin, but we also address the angels, nature, people, ourselves and even the Devil. This is based on written texts from the Divine Inspiration and is not considered prayer. Why should we not address our mother the Virgin in particular?

Hymns & Songs

When I sing a song in the church or in my prayers, I always ask myself if I meant it or not. Do you do the same? Some of the songs we sing are promises we make in front of God. In our songs, we tell him that we are going to Praise, Respect, and Serve.... Him, and we keep on telling him that we will always be His children, and will never be attracted to the world and follow Him forever. This reminds me the verses of St Mark 14:27-31, where Jesus predicts Peter's denial (Mathew 26:31-35).
