Father i am a Roman Catholic in Detroit Archdiocese.... i have incorporated incense into my prayer time and have a home incense censer like yours..... i cannot imagine not at this point! It sanctifies all my prayer corners within my home.... even make a little area outside, in view of the neighbors lol, the curious onlookers... My daughter converted to Eastern Orthodox, and graced me with my first icon! We both are converts from non-denominational...
Excellent video, Father. Point of note, many Anglican priests (third biggest global denomination and largest Protestant communion), and all Anglo-Catholic priests, use incense in their services.
It was once explained to me that incense is also used in the Orthodox Church to cense not only the icons, but also during the liturgy, the congregation is censered by the priest, in part, because we are icons of God's image.
Thank You! I actually do have a podcast. Fr. Joseph Collins and I have a podcast called "On the Battlefield" its on Anchor FM, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Facebook here's a link. Check it out and if you enjoy it, share it! God Bless anchor.fm/onthebattlefield
Hey Fr I have noticed some priests where a collar and the modern shirt, Some wear the black cassock, and some wear the long cassock with a white collar. Is this just preference? Or does it represent something else?
@HoneyandLocusts Hello! sorry for taking so long to reply. In the "old countries" the standard dress for clergy is truly uniform: the Anteri (cassock) is the universal standard in those places. Here in America, however, there has been a variety of practice. Throughout the history of Orthodoxy in America both Hierarchs and parish Clergy have been known to dress both in the collar as well as in the more traditional cassock. At present, our bishops give their guidance as to which clergy attire they prefer and expect. We as priests are obedient to them.

I hope you come back to making videos
