An infected kidney stone. How perfect. What an acute sense of humor our Lord has, who never taught except in parables.

I have not read this post carefully enough to be able to really understand it. And I’m short of sleep because of getting up early to attend a morning Presanctified Liturgy. So perhaps I cannot read it carefully enough until I make up my sleep deficit.
In that Liturgy, we indeed prayed the Prayer of St. Ephraim several times—with prostrations. And there were several other times for prostrating, too. And we received the Presanctified Holy Communion, which was a blessing indeed!

Monday's Great Compline with the first quarter of the Great Canon of St. Andrew of Crete was sheer “liturgical calisthenics”

The REAL marathon of prostrations (which I sometimes refer to as “Orthodox yoga”) is the Rite of Forgiveness, on the Sunday before the Great Fast starts.

Something like this service might be helpful in Lutheran parishes, too, since there are resentments and indifference to each other in every parish of every church body. But it is possible that like much else, the rite will only work in the context of the Holy Orthodox Church.

But it is possible that like much else, the rite will only work in the context of the Holy Orthodox Church. That was done three times in my former parish, but on Maundy Thursday and without prostrations.
The first time there as nearly 100% paricitipation, even from the Zwinglian LINOs who otherwise fled from anything remotely tactile and sacramental.
The second time some of the Zwinglian LINOs sat like bumps on a log in their pews.
The last time a was similar...IIRC some of the LINOs just stayed home.
