The second one, "A mercy of peace, a sacrifice of praise..."

Orthodox recognize this sung at each liturgy.

Not a sacrifice as offered in the Old Testament. A new 'sacrifice' of praise and service and selflessness is pleasing.

I continue to embrace/stay with the Orthodox Faith because of its depth, richness and contemplative dimension. I've known no other faith.

We all are not of this world. It was to be Paradise where there's no pain, no sorrow, no weeping of tears.

Choicest blessings be yours....
