Friends,
Please, if you wouldn't mind taking a few moments, pray for me. Tomorrow morning is my first confession in the Orthodox Church. On Saturday morning I will receive absolution and will be Chrismated. I can't put my excitement into words. Tonight I am going over a final examination of conscience and will be preparing, so any prayers you could offer would be extremely helpful. Thanks!

MY DEAR BROTHER IN CHRIST,
May our Lord, God, and Savior Jesus Christ, through the Power of the Holy Spirit, guide your final Examination of Conscience tonight that everything which needs to be confessed may come to your conscious rememberance. As you share these sins tomorrow with your Priest, may you be blessed with courage, with deep rependence, and with a firm desire for the total forsaking of all you confess that Our God may smile upon you and lift this burden from you forever.
May your entrance into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on Saturday be a joyous homecoming, the memory of which will guide your Christian walk from now on.
:clap:GOD GRANT YOU MANY YEARS! GOD GRANT YOU MANY YEARS! GOD GRANT YOU MANY YEARS!:clap:
MAY YOU BE BLESSED BEYOND YOUR WILDEST DREAMS!
