Her analysis of the monastic's role in uniting man with God and reconciling creation with God, through repentance, obedience, battling the passions and prayer for the world, was profound.
This was very edifying & fully explained most questions I've heard or have had myself. Thank you for covering such a variety of topics!
😂😂😂😂 the beverage swap!! I love it! Awe and one coffee for the camera man! How sweet!
I like her. She is genuine and earnest.
Wow-I loved her! She was so real, and so nice. 😊 Such a great example.
She answered so much for me.Thankyou 💙🙏🏻💙🙏🏿💙
I look at Anna The Prophet as the first example of a Monastic Nun. She is the last Old Testament Prophet and first prophet mentioned in the New Testament. She livedand prayed in the Temple. A wonderful example of a woman in service to the Lord.
Wow where can i find info on this?
Wonderful discussion. The Grand Duchess Elizabeth, has been a hero of mine for years. Wow. I appreciate your explanation of your role in the world too. My husband and I were stateside missionaries to street people years ago. We couldn't get other believers to understand that we were NOT social workers. It was always about Christ. Good deeds are part of daily living, but the salt & light of a prayer warrior, of those whose devotion to the Word of God is stronger than anything else - that is how the Lord works. Hubby is in heaven now. My hope is to somehow build a home for sisters dedicated to the same things. I'm not Orthodox, still learning about all that. But no longer in the Prot. camp and grateful the trappings of RC didn't capture me either. Orthodoxy is difficult to pursue (outside of UA-cam!), only one such church in town, a long walk from home. Now I'm elderly and have no car. Spend my time writing commentaries on books of the Bible. And encouraging people I run into around town, to stay faithful. Thanks for all your work.
Dear sweet daughter of Christ. If you reach out to your local Orthodox church, perhaps they would have someone who would pick you up and bring you to services.
The Crucifixion of self will and pride.

"...but then, if our life is hard, then how is it easier for me..."?
Because: "My yoke is easy, and My burden is light."
Thank you!
So informative but I wish the subject of the semi-eremetic nun was discussed. Not everyone is called to a monastery.
Me too.
I wonder where she is from as I have the same accent as her and I am from Toronto.
Who was the man doing the interview? He looks like someone I've met before.

monastic vows are vows of chastity. virginity, innocence, chastity, purity are qualities everyone has from yhe beginning of their existence. monasticism is about preserving them
What jurisdiction is this monetary associated with?

Isn't that head covering too hot in the summer?
