Who's getting ready for the Dormition of the Theotokos (Assumption of Mary for Latins)? Anyone following the fast? Remember: No meat, no dairy, no products containing meat and dairy, no fish with scales or backbones, no oil, and no wine or alcohol. Oil and wine are allowed on weekends though.

At least do some reading before looking like a jackass.
I am ready as best as I can be. It really isn't that bad. Hummus and pita chips, salsa, vegetable soups, meatless taco salads.

I am trying to fast but it is difficult since I am the guest in a household for the duration of the fast. I usually just try to eat little during the day in preparation for the dinner that they always serve. Not really sure what else to do tbh.

I am just beginning to learn the faith more after the V2 teachings failed to teach me anything so thank you for telling me their is a fast Orthobro.

There are some local differences. In my local Church oil is permitted except 3 days before a communion.
Jose Wright
The original text says "more than that" prior to Jesus' response.

This makes me ashamed to have been the son of an IFB pastor. It's so terrifyingly common.
Oh dear, I guess poor user is just retarded. Orthodox don't always and shouldn't believe in the assumption of Mary - she lived a perfect life, as the Church has recognized until it was infected by liberalism, and died peacefully.

We will show it as soon as you show us "Everything have to be in the Bible" verse.
Also it should be: 'But he said: Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God, and keep it."
Menounge, imo vero, yes indeed. Our Saviour does not here wish to deny what the woman had said, but rather to confirm it: indeed how could he deny, as Calvin impiously maintained, that his mother was blessed? By these words, he only wishes to tell his auditors what great advantage they might obtain by attending to his words. For the blessed Virgin, as S. Augustine says, was more happy in having our Saviour in her heart and affections, than in having conceived him in her womb.
"As the most glorious Mother of Christ, our Savior and God and the giver of life and immortality, has been endowed with life by him, she has received an eternal incorruptibility of the body together with him who has raised her up from the tomb and has taken her up to himself in a way known only to him."
St. Germanus of Constantinople
"God, the King of the universe, has granted you favors that surpass nature. As he kept you a virgin in childbirth, thus he has kept your body incorrupt in the tomb and has glorified it by his divine act of transferring it from the tomb."
Byzantine liturgy
Denying your own traditions, taken from Apostolic Deposit of Faith, that you yourself bring to West, only because Catholics made them dogma is childish and prideful in arch-greek fashion
Mason Jones
Nobody does this. Dont believe what jokers tell you.
Ha-ha! Who cares about Catholics? They don't exist. But realy man, to think that you are so important is childish and prideful in arch-roman fashion.
