    Your live broadcasts + sermons have been providing me great spiritual comfort and fortification. I am an Irish Catholic who has recently gained great interest in Orthodoxy. I struggle with sin but increasingly I am learning to lay my troubles upon the Lord and seek His solace. I have also begun reciting the Jesus Prayer frequently, and whenever I encounter trouble. Bless your church, fathers.

    My soul is nourished everytime I hear him speak to us!!! 🕊❤ .. I look forward to these sermons from Metropolitan Demetrius, we are so blessed to have his wisdom shared. Not every Church/Monastery has this. It is so beneficial to me. I often relisten many times as the knowledge in one talk is so great, it makes me go deep inside and reflect how can I try and be better. Thanks be to God for his teachings to help us! May God bless and protect him always and all the Fathers there with him!!!

      @@Mika-El-you give it the possibility, as do I. It's so obvious. Isaac the Syrian says the Satanic has no true nature in itself, but yet it is free will turned against God. Adam blamed Eve and Eve blamed the serpent for this evil. They all passed the buck to the other instead of taking personal responsibly. The most haunting words of the Pharisee(in the parable of the Pharisee and tax collector)are "I'm not like other men"... he too thought he "transcended" this evil and it could not possibly be in him.
