Ortho Lounge

Does anyone have a good link to a resource that gives the daily Scripture reading according to the Orthodox calendar and also names it according to the Church calendar? I.E. 31st week after Pentecost, and so on. I know I could calculate this myself but looking for a quick reference. Or a well-featured online Church calendar in general.

I found these:

Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America

www.antiochian.org www.antiochian.org
www.oca.org

Scripture Readings

www.oca.org www.oca.org

But I can't easily correlate them with some of my reference books without knowing the week we're in.

I think what you need to do is use that online liturgical guide to go to the specific sunday of that week, and you'll get more info about the entire week:

You can see from above Jan 26th was the 15th Sunday of Luke, for example.

Bear in mind it depends on whether if a church follows Gregorian Calendar or Julian Calendar.

Typically, most Orthodox Churches follow the Julian Calendar (aka "Old Calendar"). An example of daily scripture readings under the "Old Calendar" format:


As you can see, it follows the Julian Calendar as well as it shows the corresponding dates of the Gregorian Calendar for easy reference.

Word is that the supposed 2025 Pascha union between Orthodox and Catholics won't be happening at all this year.

Partially because of ill health, but, also, neither side could agree whether to hold the Pascha in Orthodox territory or Catholic territory.

As usual, the "false union 2025" was just more doom mongering from the right inside of the Orthosphere. Doom mongers are almost always wrong.

I’m probably going to get downvoted but I wouldn’t be against it. As long as orthodoxy can keeps its theology. I’d like to see a formal statement of communion saying “this is my body” and Catholics and Orthodox can commune at each others churches. The theology behind the sacrament I’ve come to understand is very similar. Our disputes are on other things.

I think it was prudent to keep an eye on things that indicated a move in that direction, but yes people tended to take things are run with them.

Also talking about stuff doesn't do much if anything. We all have intercessory prayers for the whole church in our prayer books, prayers that include all of our hierachs and ask for preservation from attacks and heresy etc. If everyone who complains about ecumenism on X every day were to read those intercessions instead it might have some impact.

Its a slight tangent, but I think Facebook rebranding to Meta makes sense because the internet tends people towards meta behaviour. What I mean is that Facebook is meta-life: people aren't living their lives they are just talking about it. The same applies to a lot of the Orthodox stuff that goes on online, it's meta-Orthodoxy. Its people talking about Orthodoxy without necessarily living it.

Calling a papist a heretic on X is easy and meaningless in equal measure. And I recognise the irony in my complaining about it online, so I am saying it to myself as much as anyone. Talking is easy. Doomsaying is easy

This feels very Protestant tbh. I feel like a lot of converts, at least in my country, don’t check in their Anglo Saxon / evangelical baggage at the door. I see them as our western siblings that decided to keep having councils. And those extra councils got them living in an “expanded universe” so to speak. Filioque, Padre Pio, treasury of merits, requiring celibacy vs seeing it as a unique calling, etc. I do like some of the Marian visions. Especially “Russia will reaccept the Church and will be a focal point in the return of the faith.” Living in 2025 be like that. Our Lady of Fatima never specified the Catholic Church. As we watch traditionally Catholic countries like here in the US secularize, Russias going the other way.

The Roman church is clearly working with NWO/globohomo/Jews and promoting perennialism. I don't see how unification is possible given that circumstance. Of course not all Catholics are in on it and many if not most practice Christianity better than I do, I have no doubt. But their leadership is corrupt, which might not be such an issue if they didn't put such importance on centralized church leadership, i.e. one of the main reasons for the schism.
 
Me: Cries in religious confusion.

Jesus:

Mark 10:18​

18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.
 
Are we supposed to always wear our baptismal crosses even when sleeping? My priest said to always wear it, and I kind of assumed that "always" meant during my sleep too, and perhaps especially during my sleep since my understanding is that you're more vulnerable to demonic influence in your sleep. But then, I always sleep on my side, and when I do, the cross always somehow ends up under my armpit, which feels to me like it's wildly disrespectful to the Holy Cross.
