- Опубліковано 4 сер 2021
- St. Silouan teaches, “The soul cannot know peace unless she prays for her enemies.
Without the grace of God we cannot love our enemies.
If you will pray for your enemies, peace will come to you; but when you can love your enemies - know that a great measure of the grace of God dwells in you, though I do not say perfect grace as yet, but sufficient for salvation.”
“O Merciful Lord, give Thy grace
to all the peoples of the earth,
that they may come to know Thee,
for without the Holy Spirit
man cannot know Thee, and conceive of Thy love.”
St. Silouan the Athonite (+1938) has reached the hearts of many around the world, first through his prayer in his cell, and now through his writings and his heavenly intercession. A towering figure full of love, a great ascetic who by God’s grace mastered the passions, his witness is essential for the Orthodox Christian today. He is the spiritual father of St. Sophrony the Athonite.

Most Holy Theotokos save us....
Thank you Lord! I just got done with my morning prayers, and in my private devotions I prayed for love for our enemies as He did. 15 minutes later I get this notification on my phone. Wow!
Wow you're such a good boy! Im glad you shared your private devotions with the world so that we may all praise your effort. Good job!
Thank you Orthodox Wisdom. Absolutely essential for the salvation of our souls! 🙂🙏
My beloved patron ❤, may St. Silouan teach all to love just he did as Christ commands.
Thank you for this wonderful message on love. God is love.
What a wonderful saint. Thank you so much for posting this.
I have given this to God, for him to deal with I just can't deal with this anymore it seems I try the number only grows.
God bless the struggle
☦️☦️☦️
Thank you very much
Thank you so much! If possible we are waiting for more from the same book!
Why not? It is good physical and mental exercise. It can be used to protect someone weaker than you. You do not need to use it to defend yourself unless you want to. If you want to be Christ like and turn the other cheek, you can do that, but the Bible teaches to take care of, defend, and protect those weaker than you.
Which book is this? ☦💚
See the video description
Should a pious Orthodox Christian learn martial arts?
Didn't Christ drive out the money changers from the temple with a whip?
This does not mean that there was no love and wisdom in His attitude
The question is did he sinned? If we say God is pure can there be any sin, if we say God is unpure where is God?
@@fieldstalker2474 So if we were to do it, it would be a sin. But Christ did it therefore it's not a sin. Is that what you're trying to say?
@@L.of.A He didn't do it with egoistic perspective. If you do anything, which is not for "you" can you sin? What the sins are, lets see: pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, sloth. All those sins are focused on "gaining", "attaining" something. So when you look at those sins can you tell me what Jesus "attained".
