Please remember Igumen Tryphon in your prayers this week.
I’m being admitted to Swedish Hospital’s Cherry Hill Campus Cardiac Unit in Seattle, on Monday, November 2nd, for three days of procedures to try to get my heart out of Atrial Fibrillation. I therefore am asked for prayers, that the Lord will guide my cardiologist, and that I will be restored to health, and enabled to return to my duties as abbot of the monastery.
I will not be posting my usual articles on Facebook, or my blog, “The Morning Offering”, during my hospital stay. Nor will I be recording my podcasts for Ancient Faith Radio on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, but will be returning to that ministry by Thursday, if it pleases God. Please forgive me for those days when I’m not providing the inspirational words that I know are valued and needed by so many of you.
If it be God’s will that my life end this week, please pray for the soul of this miserable sinner, asking that the Lord have mercy on me, and overlook the multitude of sins and failures that have been the hallmark of my life.
With love in Christ,
Abbot Tryphon

The Scripture Readings
Colossians 2:13-20
13 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, 14 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.
16 So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, 17 which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ. 18 Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 and not holding fast to the Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows with the increase that is from God.
20 Therefore, if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations—
Luke 9:18-22
Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ
18 And it happened, as He was alone praying, that His disciples joined Him, and He asked them, saying, “Who do the crowds say that I am?”
19 So they answered and said, “John the Baptist, but some say Elijah; and others say that one of the old prophets has risen again.”
20 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
Peter answered and said, “The Christ of God.”
Jesus Predicts His Death and Resurrection
21 And He strictly warned and commanded them to tell this to no one, 22 saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.”Requesting Prayers

Forgive us sinners, dear Father
Dear Abbot Tryphon,
Father, bless. Much love and many prayers from the U.K!
Yours with reverence to your right hand.
Reader Joseph.
May you return safely Abbot Tryphon.
Dear father Tryphon,
may our Lord and his Mother be with you during your ordeal and may they guide your doctors during all of the procedures! My warmest prayers will be with you, always, for I feel like I am a distant member of your parish.
I will be looking forward to your return!
With all my love in our Lord Jesus Christ,
Ioanna Papandreou
May our Lord Jesus Christ heal and restore you to your ministry that inspires so many of us. You are so loved and appreciated sir. Your blessings holy Father.
Bless Father.
May God Bless you Igumen Trifun.
Sasho & Family.
You are in our prayers and I am sure you are in God’s hands every step of the way. We pray for your cardiologist and all who will be caring for you and this will be a successful medical procedure(s) that will bring you back to health. We glorify God for all of his providential care.
I have had atrial fibrillation for 17 years so I pray you may be DELIVERED from this captivity, dear Abbott.
“May we shout for joy over your victory and lift up our banners in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your requests.” Ps 20:5
Through intercession of the Theotokos, may His Son bring you healing of body and soul
Many prayers for you and your health! Lord have mercy!
Prayers are being lifted up.
Every day Fr. Abbot, until we hear from you again.
Many prayers, Father. God is with you. . We celebrated Cosmas and Damian yesterday. We sang the apolytikoion. Holy Unmercenaries and wonder workers. Visit our infirmities. Freely you received, freely give to us. May their prayers be with you. Speedy recovery.
May God bless you and keep you safe. Thank you for your many words of wisdom and encouragement.
Your blessing
most of the time with A. Fibrillation the cause is not the heart, but the discs in the back that are compressing together and the nerves attached to the heart cause the issues. The best remedy is a bone broth to try and repair the discs. Glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM , hyaluranic acid , collagen can help heal this issue. There are vegan sources for some of these nutirients.
in Christ
Savva
Dear Abbott Tryphon,

Abbot Tryphon will be in my prayers this week for doctors wisdom and God’s blessings for healing from his treatments. I will look forward to receiving the Abbot’s daily blogs.
I just heard my son praying for you 🙂 and we will all continue to pray for the doctors and for complete healing! My mom suffers from this too and I found Savva’s comment to be of most interest! I’m going to share this with my mom. Take your time to heal.
Thank you for your inspirational words of wisdom and truth and guidance!

I’ve been struggling with symptomatic full time AFIB since early summer… last two months, I’m struggling to use chemical cardio-conversion, and was supposed to go into the hospital tomorrow to get the shock therapy to electrical cardio conversion, but last week, I was diagnosed with Covid19… Believe me, Father Tryphon, I feel your pain. God bless you and your surgeons! Thank you Lord Jesus for restoring our Beloved Abbot to his former health and vigor. ITNOTFS&HS- Amen.
I just have prayed for you and will keep on praying for you dear Abbot Tryphon. Thank you for all the spiritual nourishment you give us. May God bless and protect you.
May God grant you a speedy recovery, Abbot Tryphon. We will be praying for you this week.
Forgive me Father. I have failed you as a friend and as a spiritual son. I’m praying for you.
Please don’t go.
Dearest Abbot Tryphon, this unworthy sinner will be honored to lift you in prayer. May God lead and heal as He continues to love all of us, as only He Can!!! He is Healer, Redeemer and Friend.
May God Bring Blessing to You,
Susie
Abbot Tryphon: May the Lord Bless and Keep you and may His Angels be with you during these three days and may the Lord guide your cardiologist and those who tend to you. Stephen
Prayers for you daily, beloved Abbot, and for this time of medical procedure.
Glory to God for all things.
In Christ,
Chuck
It is a beautiful sunny day here in Seattle. It gives so much hope in this broken world to see the sun shining. I agree with all the prayers above. Fr. Tryphon, you are such a blessing to so many. I pray for the Peace that passes understanding, God’s pure light and calm to surround you as you go through this time of treatment. I look forward to your messages when you return to your lovely place of ministry. The harvest is plentiful and the workers few. Let us each go forward in the way we are able to make the world a better place. Prayers for the ones who need rest and healing in their journey, Fr. Tryphon we lift you up with gratitude and hope. God has not given us a spirit of fear but His spirit of power, love and a sound mind. Amen
Prayers for your accurate diagnosis and treatment are ascending! God grant wisdom and compassion to your physicians and reward you faith with his grace. Blessings
Praying.
In my prayers,
Maureen
I am praying for you.
Dear Abbot Tryphon!
Lord have mercy! I am praying that He will that your health be restored!
I might have mentioned that my son Jim had a similar procedure at Swedish last week, involving a tiny balloon going up his femoral artery. All went well, thank God. Hope this is the same with you, Father.
Dear Abbot Tryphon; Praying that the Lord love you through this and you come home even stronger than before. May God guide the hands and minds of all those in charge of your care. May God be glorified in this event that is occuring in your life and may what you are going through help those going through the same. May you have the Peace of God in your heart at all times. Blessings, Eleanor
Käre Fader Tryphon, jag hoppas och ber att Vår Herre håller sin hand över dig, samt att Gud välsignar all personal på det Svenska Sjukhuset där du får behandling.
Det finns en mening med allt som sker, oftast ser man inte Guds hand förrän efter dammet har lagt sig. Var inte rädd, vad som än händer så är det Guds vilja och Han vet vad Han gör.
Jag tackar Gud för Abbot Tryphon, för han har varit som en fader för mig under detta krävande år. Jag lovar att be för honom varje dag tills han kommer hem.
(I wrote this message in Swedish since Fr Tryphon is in a Swedish hospital, I hope it will pass any censuring because of that, for it is a message of love and hope for recovery, God Bless him)
May God bless and heal you.
Your friend in Christ, Glenda wallace
