Dear Fathers and Friends in Christ,
God bless you all on this Feast of the Annunciation. Here is a useful “survival” guide for all those who love Christ and His Holy Church so that the Divine Services may be carried on regardless of one’s ability to attend church. You may have your own rule of prayer. A timely article due to current world events that could easily result in many Orthodox Christians being cut off from their parish churches, if not openly persecuted.
ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN FAITH AND LIFE 
I read the article. I find it confusing.

Dear MelissaBishop, I think Typikon, until you master it, is confusing. Still, if we try a bit a day, we might improve 🙂 So today, I did Matins (in Greek) from here: http://glt.goarch.org/daily/pWed.htm and Typikon, instead of Holy Liturgy, from here: https://antiochianprodsa.blob.core.windows.net/servicetexts/Mar%2025%20TYPIKA.pdf
I think it is just a matter of practice and preparation. Let us not lose heart 🙂 May the Holy Spirit help! Anything is better than nothing. My prayers

I do not see a link to the article “When No Priest is Available.” Am I missing something?

Please click on “guide” after “survival”, on the 2nd line. “Guide” should appear in a different colour. This is where the link is embedded. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you still cannot find the link. My prayers

Being cut off from our parish (building) will hopefully strengthen our hearts and trust in God. We continue as the community of believers who pray and endure. We are close to the Saints at this time because they also endured many hardships for the Church and the children of God. There is a lot to learn and be thankful for. Think of those who don’t even know about God and that we must pray for them!
