Elder Ephraim intercede for us!
I wish i had met elder ephraim
I had always wanted to humbly ask for a koboskini from Elder Ephraim. He gave me his koboskini without me even asking. I will never forget this and still cherish his koboskini and always will.
Holy Father Ephraim, pray to God for us! ☦️
Fr Peter, please post a short video, like this one, on your first meeting with St Ephraim & your impression of him then, for the many, who have not yet heard it. Thank you.
Just imagine the most humble person you've ever met... where you may have a horrible sin that you are ashamed of, and this little giant brings it out as if it's ok and you're happy about it. A blessing to the world.
Meeting him in person is inexplicable. Many people including myself, felt Christ-like love pouring out from his face as he smiled at you. My heart felt like it was imploding; Elder Ephrem reignited sparks of repentance in many, and brought them back to a true orthodox lifestyle of humility and struggle with joy.
@@Andrei_Marg Do you know anyone today that is like elder ephraim?
@silas427 Visit an orthodox monastery. That's a normal thing to do and there are monks there that are very holy
My son and I had the very soul cleansing and God inspired meeting with the now Saint Ephraim. He was very kindhearted and insightful. We had a meeting we will never forget. Glory to God! Maybe he always intercede for us !
thank you fathers🙏 ,St Ephraim pray for us.Amen🙏✨
Love this. God bless you all. His life is in inspiring and fills me with humility, joy, and longsuffering, through his reliability.
Thank you Lord .🙏💖❤️💐Mother Mary forgive .Amen🙏
Your honesty and openness is refreshing.
thank you Fr Peter!
Because Father you can make them all ,as you wish,make as good with heart and a cleaning soul and body for entering in your kingdom.Amen🙏
Wow today I was googling around for this holy elder, now you made a video
I'm blessed to live 20 minutes away from one of the monasteries that Elder Ephraim built. I went there first during my search and introduction into Orthodoxy. I was blessed to develop a friendship with one of the older monks there that was close to the Elder. He guided me to a priest who catechised me and baptized me into the faith. My wife is beginning her catechism as well. All glory be to God and his servants.
☦️
My son was ΒαρΤized.in EΦραιΜ's Monastery, in SanAntonio, TX ,in 2003... The monks wr amazing...💞
They even slandered him when he served at Holy Trinity Monastery Jordanville
For what?
@@BecomeAnOrthodoxChristianfor being Christian. I'm on the other side of the world, and at our perish there is a young dogma and etc loving deacon, but when asked who established monasticism in America he shamefully answered "Elder Ephraim after all", as if ashamed of it being true
So something is going on among old school priests (he's got Seminary education, holds some of opinions contrary to Truth but prevalent in Orthodoxy)
He should never have left the Russian Church Abroad, for that bastion of the heresy of ecumenism known as the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese.
@@BodilessVoice That's interesting. I never knew he was in The Russian Church abroad.
What is the name of the book that is coming out in February and where can we find it?
Algorithm boost.
Can anyone explain why he was being slandered and given so much trouble? What did Elder Ephraim do?
Stay true to the Lord, Who is the Truth. And bring many to Him, who were lost in the spirit of this world (secularism, ecumenism...).
If you don't know, then wait a few months & read the 2 volumes that will be soon be out on his life.
I look forward to the books.
"The worldly spirit was affecting the Greek Orthodox in America."
Was? I can see why you dread to think where it would be now, because it IS majorly.
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.
Romans 12:14
But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.
Matthew 5:44
My times are in Your hands; deliver me from the hands of my enemies, from those who pursue me.
Psalm 31:15
Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man.
Luke 6:22
☦️🙏🏻
If he said to stay in Greece, and he is an elder, whatever possessed you to return to the United States of America? That's the most interesting question which arises from this narrative. I cannot imagine anyone wishing to return to the United States, who has had the privilege, pleasure, and honor of living just outside of Thessaloniki, and so near to the Holy Mountain as well.
He didnt tell him to stay forever
He didnt tell him to stay forever
No
It’s said that The Theotokos appeared to him and told him to return to the old calendarists non ecumenism. Geronda were disturbed by this... what is the truth should we stay with this patriarchs?
Not true.
Those - whoever they are -- who do not follow the Holy Fathers, whether on the right or left, are leaving, or have left, the Church.
We are not leaving the Church.
The videos I have seen of Elderm Ephriam profile him as a very odd man. It is very likely the many monestaries he created are certainly a product of some kind of nefarious financial endeavor ... money laundering, probably . Fr. Heers always uses the word "saint" to gloss over and dismiss certain practicalities and turn them into mystical or spiritual occurances.
Slander
@IN-pr3lw I refer you to the financial malfeasance that rocked Mt. Athos . It isn't a streach.
@@10.6.12. No
I hope everything's okay with you and your family.
