You can tell how beautiful growing up in an Orthodox household is. My parents were not educated, but taught us how we can apply the scriptures in our lives to be non judgemental and compassionate to everyone, friend or foe. Christ was loved more than anything on earth. We were dedicated to do what Christ would do. The icons were not worshipped but respected. The icons were like books, showing and depicting events in the Bible because my parents couldn't read. When they came to America they prayed, fasted a lot and taught us to never ever have a malice tounge, we should have love for everyone regardless of what they did. My parents always told me it is God's job to judge not yours.
I'm not very eloquent with words...but I truly loved this interview. This man was persecuted for his beliefs and it made him so much stronger. He's given me a lot of inspiration to do more. We, in America, don't realize how lucky we are! However, if one doesn't open their eyes, we will suffer the same. God bless you brother
The persecution of our day is different, yet still with the same objective: separating souls from God. Fr. Roman said it best: Today, Satan is well-perfumed and more elegant. It is violence today, but mass manipulation with the most horrendous instrument being "political correctness" (See "The Saint of the Prisons", pg. 285).
Wow! What an amazing person this father is! May God continue to bless him and may we continue to learn from his wisdom. Thank you for bringing this vital interview to us. 🙏🙏🙏. And may God hear all of his prayers for America 🇺🇸 ❤️. We desperately need them. 🙏❤️🙏
Father Roman has departed to the Lord. That happened some years ago now. I had the privilege to meet him. When we were walking on the grounds of the monastery, he looked at the cemetery with longing. He said that soon he will depart to go there. He was not feeling badly about it but rather he looked forward to it.
@@dskristiano7489 Glad you got to meet him! Yes, it is better to depart (on the Lord's timing, of course), than to remain here. He truly had peace with the Lord☺️
The part about the pagans is great . I had a slight conflict with my nieghbour whos father was an African tribal leader . I said only Christ gives salvation which upset her . I then said the judgement of God is a mystery . I shall return to her with the words of fr Braga . Im so happy .
The prayer of the righteous avails much! if God is for you? Who can be against you? He's more than the world against you! We are blessed to be a blessing, we are more than conquerors through Him that loves us! God favors the righteous with good things, those that trust Him, that pursuit Him without fear of opposition, knowing that He's our strong tower, a refuge in times of trouble, we fear Him that can destroy both body and soul! Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might, Yes as Christians we are a royal priesthood, a peculiar people, sent to show forth His praises in the midst of adversity! And where sin abounds, grace much more abounds! God bless this man of God! Keep the faith! : )
I loved that bit at the end about America retaining its individuality and culture. I don’t think I’ll ever stop being a Protestant, but the Russian Orthodox tradition is certainly appealing.
Read "Saint of the Prisons"! about the Romanian orthodox nationalists who were imprisoned by the Bolsheviks and became saints. and other modern Romanian Orthodox Elders
@@dzustas1827 I have, when Paul is writing to the congregation of the apostolic church of Corinth, a church which Paul had founded during his missionary travels, he refers to the Corinthians as his "beloved children". He tells them that they "do not have many fathers", but that he himself has "begotten" them. Clearly, Paul is taking on the mantle of spiritual fatherhood for the congregation of Corinth. So, no problem with calling our clergy "father".
@Salme9540 I accepted Jesus Christ but I reject your Orthodox believes wholeheartedly.. you're self-righteousness is an offense to God, Jesus didn't die for you he died for all of us.. humble yourself
Spirit if the law, not the enter of the law...lest we miss the goodness and mean meaning. Let us not divide believers in Christ, let us Love on another on Christ Jesus.
I grew up in atheist home w no punishment for anything basically.i was very spoiled child and my parents were born in YUgoslavia thus they were atheists but e guidance of The Holy Spirit i found Jesus at 26 and 7 years after chose orthodox even tho im Croatian and Croatia is Roman catholic priest was pretty surprised when i told him where i come from when i asked for baptism and attended by first 2 divine liturgies sat and sunday it was amazing .i am getting baptized in 2 months.

i love what he says about children being noisy/present in church. that is how you have communities that are family-focused.

A little suffering makes people angry ...... a lot of suffering brings them to GOD. I have experienced that in my life at age 62 .

They did an experiment like this, years ago at Stanford University, called the Stanford Prison Experiment.
He's 80!? He looks 50
Pray should be the breath of christian

This is what Orthodoxy in America needs
Uau! Ele veio ao Brasil? Incrível!

EXCELLENT BOOK! Valeriu Gafencu, pray to God for us.
Beautiful
Thx Daddy Braga
Was this interview filmed in the beginning of 2000’s? Father Roman said here that he’s 80 years old.
He reposed in the Lord in 2015.
Just what Jesus God ordered.
25:55
I am arch angel Gabriel
Matthew 23:9 And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.
Exactly what I was thinking. Just checking out the channel and there's red flags everywhere along with some worthy content.
Prot nonsense. How do you call your father, John? Bart?
@@GabrielaLtc its talking about spiritual father do not call no one . Not your pshychal dad. Study the scriptrupes!
@Salme9540 Jesus didnt came here to make a religion. He came her to show you way to home

The crucifix 👎🏽
A cross is ok but no
what do you mean?
@Salme9540 do you celebrate Christmas?
@@marioknowsitsgod1506 yall need to read more Church history and theology and less low church Protestant Judaizing conspiracy theories.

Sunday is mark of the Papacy, Sabbath is God's seal.
Judaizer
What does it mean to be 'Judaizing'.
