I am used to both the Ukrainian and Ruthenian books and their differences, but I was wondering what books you guys use.<br /><br />Because of geography, this Ukrainian Catholic will be made the Trustee of a Ruthenian Byzantine Catholic Church.<br /><br />Also, do you have a tradition of the Lamentations of the Theotokos on the Eve of the Dormition? This is growing amongst the Orthodox. <br /><br />You, your children, and Father are in my prayers!<br />James Ignatius McAuleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16170178446627560622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902102460517670809.post-63217265718523609992019-05-07T20:02:38.595-05:002019-05-07T20:02:38.595-05:00Priest's wife,
Good to hear from you again. ...Priest's wife,<br /><br />Good to hear from you again. I follow the belief, support your priest and his wife. I make sure to give my parish priest's wife good Trappist beer. I'm sure I have called priests away before from liturgy/mass. God bless everyone I have inconvenienced in asking for confession or being late. <br /><br />Since our new priest runs two parishes, he gave us two options, one early in the morning like you endured, and the other was late Saturday night. Since the late Saturday night was easier for the priest, I pushed for that. I admit I hate getting out of bed so early, but it is easier to stay up late and so Pascha began with Resurrection Matins at 8:00 P.M. and ended at 10:45 at night.<br /><br /><br />When we have a retired priest show up, he needs to start liturgy later, so we accommodate him. Wonderful, he still does the full prostrations after the epiclesis.<br /><br />And, I do what I can to help my celibate Roman Catholic priest friends. WE have a bi-ritual priest and I made sure to serve his All Souls Saturdays as he had never done them before and I knew he would need help. Made for a better Lent.<br /><br /><br />Anyways, God bless you and your husband!James Ignatius McAuleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16170178446627560622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902102460517670809.post-77206931762284071822019-04-27T06:54:53.288-05:002019-04-27T06:54:53.288-05:00ah, I was pleased to see this!
