In 20 short years of being Orthodox, the accomplishments of this man cannot be overstated. He translated complex RUssian theological works from prestigious figures in the Orthodox world. Two years after being received into the Church, he was blessed by St. John of Shanghai to establish a press with an archaic hand-cranked printing press, and line-by-line composed thousands of lines of *English material* for inquirers into Orthodoxy which up until that point had been mostly neglected by the Russian and Greek-speaking diaspora on American soil. He established a monastery, with *no electricity* in the wilderness of California (Platina), hauled the printing press up a gigantic mountain with an old truck that barely worked, spent countless hours reading and writing in the spirit of the Holy Fathers and completely absorbed their teaching and imparted it flawlessly, in the spirit of the Church to the English-speaking world. He built and maintained a monastery with no electricity and formed a brotherhood of monks while he spent every waking second absorbed in some writing, translating, or printing project or another all whilst teaching catechism to American students who were interested in Orthodoxy... 17 years at his monastery living a life of repentance and servitude in the wilderness was all the Lord required of him before he went home.

One of the first 5 books I read in Catechism was Saint Seraphim of Sarov. Awesome book , especially the back half where it is a letter he wrote. RIP Seraphim Rose 🌹 Living Eternally
Seraphim Rose is one of the most important figures in the development of my Orthodoxy. My journey towards it was similar to his and Orthodox Survival Course, Nihilism and Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future are amazing and I recommend them to any inquirer. Right now I’m during my catechumenate and I can’t wait until being fully admittes to the church.

It’s crazy that you made a video about this monk who was named after saint seraphim of sarov. I just read the acquisition of the Holy Spirit by st. Seraphim. He possessed so much wisdom and light. Amazing how they found the writings of that encounter almost destroyed in an attic
This is an excerpt of a longer article in which the Elders tell us why they don’t fear the Antichrist nor the apocalypse: One day Elder Porphyrios had told me: “Father Athanasios (taking me by the hand tightly), I’m blind now, my eyes do not work physically because I have cancer of the pituitary gland, but I have spiritual eyes and see. Before you leave, I want you to tell me, what did Elder Aemilianos say about 666 and the Antichrist?” This was in the days of Chernobyl. People were upset by this and went by the dozens every day, particularly to Elder Porphyrios near Athens, asking: “What will happen? Will the Antichrist come and stamp us with 666″? The Elder asked me: “Tell me, my child, what did Elder Aemilianos say about 666 and the Antichrist?” I told him: “He told us in a gathering a few days ago to not worry. We should be interested in having a vibrant relationship with Christ and not give much attention to the Antichrist, because then he will become the center of our lives and not Christ.” . . . He told me: “For us Christians, when we experience Christ there is no Antichrist. . . . When we have Christ inside us, can the Antichrist come? Can anything opposite this enter our souls? For this reason, my child, today we do not have Christ within us and because of this we worry about the Antichrist. When Christ is within us, everything becomes Paradise. Christ is everything, my child, and the Opposer we should not fear; this you should always tell people. . . . And you should tell the people to not fear the Antichrist. We are children of Christ, we are children of the Church.”
I was binge watching videos on father Seraphim Rose today. Glory be to God, i have been called to Orthodoxy for a while now, and i'm pretty sure this video coming out now is no coincidence.
Feeling that you don't belong to the modern world and culture, that's a very real thing. I have always suffered from that, whatever you want to call it, and so did my father. I just have this constant feeling that I don't belong here, these are not my values, not my culture, not my environment. It really starts to impact your life. Like I have just waited my whole life to wake up from this bad dream and I can never quite successfully convince myself that this is it, this is all I will ever have to work with. It's not going to be over until it is over.
That was beautiful, thank you. I recently visited Saint Anthony's Monastery in Florence, AZ. The paritioners, icons, and vespers were all Greek. As a catechumin, I likely wouldn't have felt the calling towards Orthodoxy if that was my first experience- as culture and language play a big role. I probably would have gone back to the Lutheran church, who knows. The monastery I go to in New England and the Orthodox content I watch here make it accessible and relatable, steering me towards a more wholesome and Christ-centered life. I love your format and good works❤
This is beautiful, I'm a Ortodox Christian myself to . Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me the siner for the prayers of Your Holy Mother and all Saints . Amin
Father seraphim rose, the saint whos not yet been cannonized as a saint, the one man different from all. Truly he was a profound thinker and had a deeper understanding of what it means to not only be an orthodox christian, but how to love christ in its fullest compacity. He rejected modernity and ecumenism, Blessed seraphim rose, pray for america, pray for the world, pray for us sinners.
4:40 to 5:50, is something I could relate to an extent. Coming from an Evangelical church with still feeling out of place and my soul almost feeling despair, I came and walked into the parish on a rainy day at Orthros, not knowing the structure of the Liturgy, but only coming to the faith to find truth and that my soul may finally find the nurturing it desperately needed. It felt like coming back home, despite it being my first time in there. Fast forward, I'll be Chrismated in the first Sunday of February, marking my first year within the Church. ☦
Similar with me in the beginning. I'm still wrestling with my secular life, fell back into a certain passion and it's hard to get out of. Pray for me please, and congratulations on your Chrismation.
Christ is either all we need or he is nothing at all. He is our home. Seeking peace in religion is the devils trick. You are free in Christ. Today is the day and now is the time.
@Rileyed agreed, as the disciple of the Apostle John has said, "“Wherever the bishop appears, there let the people be; as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church." To be able to get closer to Christ is to be within the Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church that he bestowed the Apostles to set up for the ages to come.
As a Pentecostal Christian, videos like these help me explore the humble and spiritual aspects of my faith. The emphasis of the necessity to suffer in Christ is essential for those who are true adherents to the faith, and I am glad that the message shown here is actually being taught in my church (a church my family founded), who seeks to do only the will of the Father and live by what our Lord Jesus taught us to do. God bless my Orthodox brothers and sisters, and to all Christians no matter the denomination, for we all are united in Christ.
The body of Christ cannot be separated. Unfortunately many Christian’s belong to the body that they are a part of. And most only exist as a body Rome. The Orthodox Church is the church of the first 1000 years. As an Orthodox Christian Man, it’s not a loving act for me to say all is well and that all churches and religions are the same. I beseech you to consider joining the orthodox church. I can personally attest that there is full grace to be found in the Orthodox Church. God bless you on your journey.
"I myself can accept the experience of Protestants being ‘born-again’ in Christ; I have met people who have changed their lives entirely through meeting Christ, and I cannot deny their experience just because they are not Orthodox. I call these people “subjective” or “beginning” Christians. But until they are united to the Orthodox Church they cannot have the fullness of Christianity, they cannot be objectively Christian as belonging to the Body of Christ and receiving the grace of the sacraments. I think this is why there are so many sects among them-they begin the Christian life with a genuine conversion to Christ, but they cannot continue the Christian life in the right way until they are united to the Orthodox Church, and they therefore substitute their own opinions and subjective experiences for the Church’s teaching and sacraments." - Bl. Fr. Seraphim Rose I would recommend his book "Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future" I think it will do you well.
To all who commented, I respect your opinions and appreciate your commentary on our Christian faith. We are all part of a church, that which is founded by Christ. It is not a building, or organization, or denomination, that makes a church but a common unity in Jesus, who we all agree came to the world as the Son of God, the Word, God incarnate, and loved us so much that he died on the cross and took away our sin so that through him, we can finally exist in union with God. Suffering and death will exist, and many people will use our religion as an excuse to harm others or use it as justification for others actions, snd I know their are debates between theology and what is the right way to worship, but the only thing that matters is that we seek Jesus, to preach and live like him, and to acknowledge that we are imperfect in every way yet he makes us perfect through him. I hope this does not spark any confusion or anger towards anyone and God bless you all.
Listening to all the commentary, I have come to realize something about the church. Yes, I respect the Catholic and Orthodox churches and find good theology and history in them, but here is the thing: No matter what happens, we still believe in Christ. There is a church doctrine that yes, should have protocols and other important sacraments like Baptisms and Communion (which Jesus asks us to do), but nothing triumphs the authority of God’s word, that is the Bible. We put too much emphasis on what church has better worship, tor what way should we see prayer is different, or that my church is the true church or other stuff, I’ve seen it everywhere and many argue about it. It is the reason for many division and hatred towards each other. I appreciate and will study Church history and theology more thouroughly, but, I stand behind what I believe in and truely believe that their is authority in both the Bible and church, but we always must put God’s word before all, that is the truth. At the end of the day, even if you disagree on my comments, or say that I am in the wrong denomination and that I should be Orthodox or Catholic, we all are part of a church that seeks to bring people into the Kingdom and we will all be judged when our Lord returns, then we will know what is the truth, not by what a church says but what God says
Wow. I have never heard a video with Bach’s “Ich haben genug” (instrumentalized) in the background. What a gripping of the heart. Oh man. Wow. Thanks so much for that
Oh Lord that was what my sweet brother John said in the very brief note he left before he shot and killed himself only a couple of months ago. “I’m sorry, I’ve had enough.” My mother gave him to me for my birthday the year I turned three, in 1951. It has devastated me. John wasn’t made for the world as mean as it has become.
Once you realize The Truth is Christ, you discover that you are truly powerless, and you can do nothing to open another's eyes. It is truly only with faith of heart that we can know Him, The Truth, The Eternal Light. For even when The Truth walked amongst men, most still denied Him. If you will listen to me, then you don't need to, because you are ready to find The Truth.
Your videos are really well done. I'm going to try and get this book in South Africa so I can discuss it with my pastors. We're from the Reformed tradition but we love expanding our knowledge and discussing different approaches to Christianity.
The Dutch were always skeptical of Papal Supremacy. The Gregorian Reforms were never fully implemented there. But you should have looked into Orthodoxy via Russia. The North Sea was the way.
This is an amazing video. I didn't know Father (Saint) Serphaim Rose studied secular philosophies like Nietzsche and Alan Watts. It suprised me and this only grows me closer to Orthodoxy. He had all the philosophical knowledge in the world (dramatic but you get the point) and sacrificed himself for God. His story I hope can help open the heart of the many prideful "intellects" that I know. God bless you all. May He have mercy on us.
Father Seraphim story is so... relatable. The world is literally a open tomb, alot of rot and disgusting things. We have to die to this world EVERY single time. GOD bless and save you all ☦️
Me too. I met Fr Rose @ St Herman of Alaska Orthodox Monastery. His hut naked of material possessions, comforts, or conveniences. His typewriter has missing or aged keys. He sat in silence for hours. He ate very little, fasting often for days on end. If you’ve ever the opportunity or calling, plan a vacation & pray over his coffin. I swear he’s listening. Last visited St Hermon 2015. All Fr Rose’s books may be ordered via St Herman Press.
I'm not particularly religious but this came up randomly in my feed. What an absolutely beautiful 16 minutes that was. So tastefully done and a really cool story.
_And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams._ Kyrie eleison ☦️
Well done, guys. He should be a saint. Very important for our generation as he comes through philosophy and new age dismantling it all to find the truth. His criticism of Watts and the New age is very important.
@5:20. It was at an Orthodox funeral that I had the same experince Fr. Seraphim had. In fact, the man whose funeral I discovered Christ in was a man who was one of Fr Seraphim Rose's spiritual sons - my spiritual father, Fr. Seraphim Cardoza. Memory eternal. Father Seraphim Rose, pray for us.

@SHinierthennyourforehead especially if you understand that christ has given you a gift, us neurodivergents have a possibility to link with him and the holy spirit in a drastic way...
Nothing but respect for a person that dedicates his entire life to the third factor. Definetly a man with blessings to speak of in his celestial judgement. May we all strive to use his examples in our lives. Amen!
Father Seraphim Roses work is incredible. I highly recommend reading his books. His books brought me to God. I understood what he was saying in his book Nihilsm. It was exactly how I felt and explained why I felt that way. I cried a lot that week. Life is tough people. Pray and get to know your creator.

It’s crazy that you made a video about this monk who was named after saint seraphim of sarov. I just read the acquisition of the Holy Spirit by st. Seraphim. He possessed so much wisdom and light. Amazing how they found the writings of that encounter almost destroyed in an attic
6:43, saving for later
this channel has brought my so much peace, whoever is running it, truly thank you from the bottom of my heart.
This is an excerpt of a longer article in which the Elders tell us why they don’t fear the Antichrist nor the apocalypse:
One day Elder Porphyrios had told me:
“Father Athanasios (taking me by the hand tightly), I’m blind now, my eyes do not work physically because I have cancer of the pituitary gland, but I have spiritual eyes and see. Before you leave, I want you to tell me, what did Elder Aemilianos say about 666 and the Antichrist?”
This was in the days of Chernobyl. People were upset by this and went by the dozens every day, particularly to Elder Porphyrios near Athens, asking: “What will happen? Will the Antichrist come and stamp us with 666″?
The Elder asked me: “Tell me, my child, what did Elder Aemilianos say about 666 and the Antichrist?”
I told him: “He told us in a gathering a few days ago to not worry. We should be interested in having a vibrant relationship with Christ and not give much attention to the Antichrist, because then he will become the center of our lives and not Christ.”
. . .
He told me: “For us Christians, when we experience Christ there is no Antichrist. . . .
When we have Christ inside us, can the Antichrist come? Can anything opposite this enter our souls? For this reason, my child, today we do not have Christ within us and because of this we worry about the Antichrist.
When Christ is within us, everything becomes Paradise. Christ is everything, my child, and the Opposer we should not fear; this you should always tell people.
. . .
And you should tell the people to not fear the Antichrist. We are children of Christ, we are children of the Church.”
I was binge watching videos on father Seraphim Rose today. Glory be to God, i have been called to Orthodoxy for a while now, and i'm pretty sure this video coming out now is no coincidence.
❤☦️ This channel and content is such a blessing. Thank you.
This is my favorite UA-cam channel, every video is amazing and such high quality. God bless 💓
Feeling that you don't belong to the modern world and culture, that's a very real thing. I have always suffered from that, whatever you want to call it, and so did my father. I just have this constant feeling that I don't belong here, these are not my values, not my culture, not my environment. It really starts to impact your life. Like I have just waited my whole life to wake up from this bad dream and I can never quite successfully convince myself that this is it, this is all I will ever have to work with. It's not going to be over until it is over.
That was beautiful, thank you. I recently visited Saint Anthony's Monastery in Florence, AZ. The paritioners, icons, and vespers were all Greek. As a catechumin, I likely wouldn't have felt the calling towards Orthodoxy if that was my first experience- as culture and language play a big role. I probably would have gone back to the Lutheran church, who knows. The monastery I go to in New England and the Orthodox content I watch here make it accessible and relatable, steering me towards a more wholesome and Christ-centered life. I love your format and good works❤
Which monastery in New England?
@@SeraphimWebster Saint John the Baptist Monastery in Warwick, MA❤
@@misschris325 I used to live in MA, I had no idea there was a Bulgarian monastery there this entire time! God Bless ☦️
What was wrong with them being Greek ?
@misschris325
This video is incredible. Thank you for your hard work.
This is beautiful, I'm a Ortodox Christian myself to . Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me the siner for the prayers of Your Holy Mother and all Saints . Amin
I have watched this a few times now... thank you for the love of ☦you put into all your videos... God bless your work
Father seraphim rose, the saint whos not yet been cannonized as a saint, the one man different from all. Truly he was a profound thinker and had a deeper understanding of what it means to not only be an orthodox christian, but how to love christ in its fullest compacity. He rejected modernity and ecumenism, Blessed seraphim rose, pray for america, pray for the world, pray for us sinners.
He is a Saint.
There is no question in my mind. There is an Icon of him at my new Parish alongside St. John of San Francisco
The church will 100% canonize him. He's had a massive impact on the current generation I wouldn't be surprised if he's canonized very soon
Only Jesus can save you not any worldy saints.
@Jaiden_Anime_Shuns you don't know what your talking about, saints can't be worldly also that makes no sense true Christians aren't worldly.
@IsaiahBoyd-j4s Exactly and what's more worldy than worshipping a human? Saints cannot give salvation only Jesus
Underrated channel. Videos are so perfectly made, peaceful and insightful. ❣ Keep making them, every single one of them are masterpieces
Man your videos are always on point man. Fantastic
I got his book. God's revelation to the human heart. Thanks to you ❤
His book on nihilism is very good too, and Orthodoxy the religion of the future.
4:40 to 5:50, is something I could relate to an extent. Coming from an Evangelical church with still feeling out of place and my soul almost feeling despair, I came and walked into the parish on a rainy day at Orthros, not knowing the structure of the Liturgy, but only coming to the faith to find truth and that my soul may finally find the nurturing it desperately needed. It felt like coming back home, despite it being my first time in there. Fast forward, I'll be Chrismated in the first Sunday of February, marking my first year within the Church. ☦
MAY GOD BLESS YOU
Similar with me in the beginning. I'm still wrestling with my secular life, fell back into a certain passion and it's hard to get out of. Pray for me please, and congratulations on your Chrismation.
@ez_ekiel as am I, and when I fall, i get back up, and focus on the goal. Seeking communion with Christ.
Christ is either all we need or he is nothing at all. He is our home. Seeking peace in religion is the devils trick. You are free in Christ. Today is the day and now is the time.
@Rileyed agreed, as the disciple of the Apostle John has said, "“Wherever the bishop appears, there let the people be; as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church." To be able to get closer to Christ is to be within the Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church that he bestowed the Apostles to set up for the ages to come.
Dude you are profoundly blessed by the Almighty’s Holy Wisdom!
Thank you! Blessed Seraphim Rose, pray for us!
Dude these videos are pieces of art. Thank you for what you do
As a Pentecostal Christian, videos like these help me explore the humble and spiritual aspects of my faith. The emphasis of the necessity to suffer in Christ is essential for those who are true adherents to the faith, and I am glad that the message shown here is actually being taught in my church (a church my family founded), who seeks to do only the will of the Father and live by what our Lord Jesus taught us to do. God bless my Orthodox brothers and sisters, and to all Christians no matter the denomination, for we all are united in Christ.
My friend, we cannot be united since we do not believe in the same Christ.
The body of Christ cannot be separated. Unfortunately many Christian’s belong to the body that they are a part of. And most only exist as a body Rome. The Orthodox Church is the church of the first 1000 years. As an Orthodox Christian Man, it’s not a loving act for me to say all is well and that all churches and religions are the same. I beseech you to consider joining the orthodox church. I can personally attest that there is full grace to be found in the Orthodox Church. God bless you on your journey.
"I myself can accept the experience of Protestants being ‘born-again’ in Christ; I have met people who have changed their lives entirely through meeting Christ, and I cannot deny their experience just because they are not Orthodox. I call these people “subjective” or “beginning” Christians. But until they are united to the Orthodox Church they cannot have the fullness of Christianity, they cannot be objectively Christian as belonging to the Body of Christ and receiving the grace of the sacraments. I think this is why there are so many sects among them-they begin the Christian life with a genuine conversion to Christ, but they cannot continue the Christian life in the right way until they are united to the Orthodox Church, and they therefore substitute their own opinions and subjective experiences for the Church’s teaching and sacraments."
- Bl. Fr. Seraphim Rose
I would recommend his book "Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future" I think it will do you well.
To all who commented, I respect your opinions and appreciate your commentary on our Christian faith. We are all part of a church, that which is founded by Christ. It is not a building, or organization, or denomination, that makes a church but a common unity in Jesus, who we all agree came to the world as the Son of God, the Word, God incarnate, and loved us so much that he died on the cross and took away our sin so that through him, we can finally exist in union with God. Suffering and death will exist, and many people will use our religion as an excuse to harm others or use it as justification for others actions, snd I know their are debates between theology and what is the right way to worship, but the only thing that matters is that we seek Jesus, to preach and live like him, and to acknowledge that we are imperfect in every way yet he makes us perfect through him. I hope this does not spark any confusion or anger towards anyone and God bless you all.
Listening to all the commentary, I have come to realize something about the church. Yes, I respect the Catholic and Orthodox churches and find good theology and history in them, but here is the thing: No matter what happens, we still believe in Christ. There is a church doctrine that yes, should have protocols and other important sacraments like Baptisms and Communion (which Jesus asks us to do), but nothing triumphs the authority of God’s word, that is the Bible. We put too much emphasis on what church has better worship, tor what way should we see prayer is different, or that my church is the true church or other stuff, I’ve seen it everywhere and many argue about it. It is the reason for many division and hatred towards each other. I appreciate and will study Church history and theology more thouroughly, but, I stand behind what I believe in and truely believe that their is authority in both the Bible and church, but we always must put God’s word before all, that is the truth. At the end of the day, even if you disagree on my comments, or say that I am in the wrong denomination and that I should be Orthodox or Catholic, we all are part of a church that seeks to bring people into the Kingdom and we will all be judged when our Lord returns, then we will know what is the truth, not by what a church says but what God says
This is an awesome video, Love the editing, keep up the great work!
Wow. I have never heard a video with Bach’s “Ich haben genug” (instrumentalized) in the background. What a gripping of the heart. Oh man. Wow. Thanks so much for that
Oh Lord that was what my sweet brother John said in the very brief note he left before he shot and killed himself only a couple of months ago. “I’m sorry, I’ve had enough.” My mother gave him to me for my birthday the year I turned three, in 1951.
It has devastated me. John wasn’t made for the world as mean as it has become.
I am always moved by your videos. Excellent productions. Thank you
Father seraphim rose is awesome and so is his works specifically “NIHILISM, the modern revolution”
Lets pray we western catholics and eastern catholics one day return to unity. Thank you for the beautiful video. Father Seraphim Rose pray for us all!
I get exited like a kid when harmony drops.
this is about the man in my pfp
☦
I live about 3 hours away from the monastery, my parents were subscribed to the orthodox word and I still have some copies here
Copies? When were the copies subscribed? Like the year?
I just want to say this channel is awesome.
Your way of editing is so artistic,i like it a lot.
Praise be to God! He is real, He is with us always. Amen. ✝
This was Brilliant. Have just subscribed...thank you for making great content.
Incredible mini documentary - thank you/ for producing this
I relate to him alot my family does not understand me I don't believe in America Christianity orthodox is the true church but they just don't get it
Same boat my friend but we're in this together Christ is Risen. ☦️
It's our duty to be the light of Christ to our family, friends, and loved ones ☦️
Keep praying for your family mate. And the best thing we can do is live our lives as best we can as orthodox Christians in the narrow path.
@CenturionTheodore I will I got in contact with a priest yesterday. So I should be going to my first Service soon enough
Well orthodox and catholic r the same idk y yall don’t just come back
I had the pleasure visiting Russian Orthodox cemetery when I lived in Alaska. One of the most beautiful places I’ve seen! 🖤
Incredible video I owe alot to Blessed Seraphim Rose for inspiring me to convert to Orthodoxy
Spread the news of the goodness of this channel and the glory of God. More people need to hear this content.
Amen sharing on social media helps !
Once you realize The Truth is Christ, you discover that you are truly powerless, and you can do nothing to open another's eyes. It is truly only with faith of heart that we can know Him, The Truth, The Eternal Light. For even when The Truth walked amongst men, most still denied Him.
If you will listen to me, then you don't need to, because you are ready to find The Truth.
Hug for you mr. Troll
Wonderful video.....very well done ...produced so beautifully
I send these videos to all my friends before even watching them because I know they will be epic
Your videos are really well done. I'm going to try and get this book in South Africa so I can discuss it with my pastors. We're from the Reformed tradition but we love expanding our knowledge and discussing different approaches to Christianity.
The Dutch were always skeptical of Papal Supremacy. The Gregorian Reforms were never fully implemented there. But you should have looked into Orthodoxy via Russia. The North Sea was the way.
That was beautiful.
This is an amazing video. I didn't know Father (Saint) Serphaim Rose studied secular philosophies like Nietzsche and Alan Watts. It suprised me and this only grows me closer to Orthodoxy. He had all the philosophical knowledge in the world (dramatic but you get the point) and sacrificed himself for God. His story I hope can help open the heart of the many prideful "intellects" that I know. God bless you all. May He have mercy on us.
Would love a vid about Saint Paisios of Mount Athos
Father Seraphim story is so... relatable. The world is literally a open tomb, alot of rot and disgusting things. We have to die to this world EVERY single time. GOD bless and save you all ☦️
13:30 We care and appreciate you both, Ft. Herman! God bless you.
Beautifull Father Serafim . Blessings from Serbia.
'GOD may be subtle, but malicious HE is not " Johan von Goethe
Wow! This was really great!
Blessed Seraphim Rose brought me to Holy Orthodoxy.
Me too.
This is astonishing that I've found this channel! Glory to God and may you be saved for your work
Me too. I met Fr Rose @ St Herman of Alaska Orthodox Monastery. His hut naked of material possessions, comforts, or conveniences. His typewriter has missing or aged keys. He sat in silence for hours. He ate very little, fasting often for days on end. If you’ve ever the opportunity or calling, plan a vacation & pray over his coffin. I swear he’s listening. Last visited St Hermon 2015. All Fr Rose’s books may be ordered via St Herman Press.
I'm not particularly religious but this came up randomly in my feed. What an absolutely beautiful 16 minutes that was. So tastefully done and a really cool story.
His chapter about aliens in Orthodoxy: Religion of the future is so damn good
People who read that understand “The Signs” film by Mel Gibson better understand than anyone else.
im georgian orthodox Christian and god bless everyone i hope everyone will found peace and god if you looking for truth honestly you will found god...
love your videos, thanks for the subtitles in Portuguese
_And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams._
Kyrie eleison ☦️
end days of ad70 were at hand
Who wrote that??
The Saints never fail to amaze me, of how like us, they struggled, but are proof we can overcome this world and as God wishes of us all, become holy.
Well done, guys. He should be a saint. Very important for our generation as he comes through philosophy and new age dismantling it all to find the truth. His criticism of Watts and the New age is very important.
Always a good day when Harmy posts
@5:20. It was at an Orthodox funeral that I had the same experince Fr. Seraphim had. In fact, the man whose funeral I discovered Christ in was a man who was one of Fr Seraphim Rose's spiritual sons - my spiritual father, Fr. Seraphim Cardoza. Memory eternal. Father Seraphim Rose, pray for us.
God is a living God and all merciful
Could you make a video on the Jesus Prayer?With your cinematic style it would be awesome
Thank you, I am going to binge watch now
For Jim-i1e
I bind all those spirits of autism, disability, mental fatigue, depression, anxiety, anguish, despair, boredom, hinderance, blockages mental and emotional, frustration, hopelessness and fear, I bind the strongman of all of these, the legions, those above and below, I bind them across all space, time and dimensions and from all sources in the mighty name of Ivesus Christ of Nazareth and I cast them OUT now, EKBALO.
Great? Is this a prayer from fr.seraphim.rose?
theres nothing wrong with autism..
@SHinierthennyourforehead especially if you understand that christ has given you a gift, us neurodivergents have a possibility to link with him and the holy spirit in a drastic way...
Nothing but respect for a person that dedicates his entire life to the third factor. Definetly a man with blessings to speak of in his celestial judgement. May we all strive to use his examples in our lives. Amen!
SAINT seraphim rose pray for us!
Saint indeed
Father Seraphim Roses work is incredible. I highly recommend reading his books. His books brought me to God. I understood what he was saying in his book Nihilsm. It was exactly how I felt and explained why I felt that way. I cried a lot that week. Life is tough people. Pray and get to know your creator.
St Seraphim pray for us!
St Ephraim of Nea Makri pray for us!
Lord Jesus, Son and Word of God, pray for us sinners!
☦️☦️☦️
Thank you for sharing your such well made content so inspiring to me 🙏
Apocalypse already happened. We in the short season/little season
Prophecies have not been fulfilled
It's an internal/personal thing the apocalypse
@@grey.knightya they have. The earth was last vreset in the 1700's after the mudflood. The millennial reign already happened. Then Satan was loosed in 1776. Hence the statue of liberty is obviously Lucifer with a chain around his ankle symbolizing being loosed. We are in revelations I think it's 20 or 21 I forget.
beautiful work
Matt 21 : 13 It is written "My father's house is a place of prayer, but you are making it a den of robbers" 14:58 😵💫
