The video 'Everyone wears a mask. Don't enter this battle of lies.' was recorded by Fr Seraphim (Aldea) at Iona Monastery (The Orthodox Monastery of the Dormition of the Mother of God and All Saints of Iona), on the Isle of Iona.
Please pray for me. I am going through a period of anxiety and depression that has kept me from working for the past few days. I believe it is caused by health issues, but I am not sure. Pray that the doctors will be able to help me. Your videos have helped to calm me and given me protection against the demons that torment me in this time of vulnerability. This sermon in particular helped me to realize I was judging and comparing myself to others, leading me to feel anxiety about my future, jealousy, hatred and bitterness. I know now that I need to trust in God and His plans for me, and to love people. Thank you Fr. Seraphim.
There is so much love in your words! Thank you for being our true friend ❤
And happy 1st of March! ❤️🤍
My spiritual father mentioned that the talents were never even our own -The talents belonged to the Lord. Thank you for this reflection!
Comparing yourself to another person make you slave of men instead of being servants of God. We owe everything to him. Not to others or ever our own self.
I genuinely have no idea where my life and my faith would be without these sermons, the Spirit radiates from you and it always feels like a comforting friend is talking to me about a topic that's been weighing on me, thank you father, God bless you ❤️
your messages always find a way to my heart. I am that one who has fallen into laziness and despondency and almost despaired yet I give praise to God for the work he does in me whenever I hear your voice and your counsel!
Father, your words bring me closer to Christ. Thank you for what you do, and may God bless you.
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, amen :) :) :)
Your wisdom is truly in inspired, as a Roman Catholic I wish we could all be one again.
I don't know where I would be without father Spyridon and you father God bless ❤❤❤
I love you my friend thank you
Great point: don't compare yourself to others. Just do what the Lord enables you to do...as you were made ☦️
The insight and wisdom on this channel never ceases to amaze me. Thank you 🙏
God bless you Father
Thank you Father Seraphim!
I have never written any comment; God showed his mercy through your words. I was troubled from this world of work. Thank you, in Corde Jesu, semper
Thank you, my dear Father Aldea, for sharing your wise words with us. I am glad to see you are looking very well. I send love and prayers each day to you and all those you shepherd. 💓
Nice to hear you father.
Thks for you video.❤
Greetings and regards from Ukraine. Lord have mercy on us all.❤
I took my mask off and quit my corporate job. It was killing me.
So now I am just doing what I am supposed to be doing.
what an absolutely beautiful post... Thank you so much... Sincerely - thank you. ✝
This one goes so deep. Thank you so much. Shame and pride are twin demons. 🙏🏻 ❤
Thank you for this heartwarming and trenchant message! 🙏🙏🙏 sending up 3 Our Father's for you.
I love these videos, because they move past the abundance of Christian content on UA-cam that focuses on intellectual understanding, emotional engagement, and move towards more practical application of scripture. Thank you so much for producing these, may they be shared with more and more people.
Thank you Father Seraphim for this brief for powerful message about not comparing ourselves to anyone but to look within our own potential
Following Christ within our individual capacity.
Lovely video! Thank you, SO very much.
Eternity...no lies.. No masks...🎉
These are the kind of messages I enjoy....short and sweet and to the point.
Jesus Christ is Lord
Holy Spirit convict and direct us
This was very helpful. Comparing oneself with others is a trap that robs one of peace and joy, and it turns into a living hell. I run to Jesus. He is my loving brother and my God. God is truth and love. The world can tell me nothing.
Amen
Multumim,Parinte!
Cu ajutorul predicii Dumneavoastra ne daruiti speranta,rabdare si umilinta.
Dumnezeu sa va aiba in paza Lui! Rugativa lui Dumnezeu pentru roaba Olga si familia!
Va multumesc!❤
Tremendous talk as always. You do a great service to the world.
Waw! How nice when God talks to us through his chosen one. You’re a blessing to us & God bless u too.
Brother I love your work .Pray for me.

Battle of masks. That's true. I wanna use that for lyrics. I will be me. Thank you Father
Thank you.
@mullmonastery Thank you so very much Father this resonated such a lot. I seem to have have spent my life wearing masks but Christ sees beyond all & thank you for reminding me. Prayers & blessings to you all
If I were you I wouldn’t have worried about any of it coz God has put you to work for him.
☦️🙏❤️🕊
1 Thessalonians 4:11-14 New King James Version (NKJV)
that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you, that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and that you may lack nothing.
Thank you for your encouragement Father … God bless

Let us be attentive

♥️🙏
Thank you Fr. Seraphim for this important message! ☦
Father, please considder explaining how one can KNOW God exists and how one can experience His presence in ones personal life. I became an Orthodox Christian after reading about Orthodox epistemology thaught by St. Gregory Palamas, about illumination and God’s revelation within the purified heart of man - and I really think that this topic is most important for all of us. We all need to purify our hearts and experience God, so we may have strong faith.
from the depth if my heart I feel hunger to express my-unfolding gratitude for your wise and REAL sharings, they matter, they kindle inspiration, they, teach, guide, remind and transform me/us - this is truly the expression of holy priesthood -🙏🏽 in these days when global clergy ‘leaders’ seem to be employing evil routes of , ‘selecting’ scripture in ways to emotionally manipulate those serving the churches into the ways of the world - the clean, clear and holy strong ground held by your brother and syster monasteries are. light in the dark darkness 🙏🏽Thanku
This was a really good video
This video speaks of a loop I have been stuck in. With grace may I now make progress.
Thank you, Father, and glory to God for giving you the time and strength for this online ministry. I have a question: how do you know how many talants you were given? How do you know that there is so much you can do and not beat yourself up if you can't do more?
I like this guy! Thanks for sharing. Praise Jesus!
Amen❤
Very intriguing,Fr.! I was born for one purpose,to bear witness to the true.All who can accept the Truth hear My voice. May we all meet in Heaven,with shining bodies and shining souls!🙏🥹❤️
Thank you very much for these profound words given to you by the Holy Spirit.
I always tell myself just focus on being the best Catholic you can be. Pray for others and don’t focus on their errors because that will lead to comparison of “im better than so and so” but focus on your errors by asking God to help you get rid of those errors from your heart.
We live in a culture of comparison and competition for a reason. It helps generate money to corporations to keep us in a competitive social network.
In the spiritual life we are no competitive but encouragers of each other with sincerity and love.
P.S if you do call out or see their errors at least teach them in love to help correct their error and not put down. That way you can see your brother or sister grow and mature spiritually. Amen
Dear Father, Your blessing. Thank you for making this video.
🙏🏾
💯 🤗
Thanku father - may God continue to bless us with his grace and holiness🙏🏽Thanku for your hearts wise sharing 💜
I can feel your sensitivity that has brought you here to make this video. Thanks God Bless you
That wouldn’t be Grace if I can work for it other than that I enjoy listening to you
I would like to visit Mull monastery someday for 1 or 2 days!
Thank you father
Amen, praise the lord..
Very very important message. Thank you much. I was thinking about this complicated question why i exist? And you opened my eyes! God knowing our potential and our purpose here wants us to discover it ourselves and bring it forth in our lives as gifts to Him and other humans. How beautiful!

Thank you for your videos, Fr you give us good insight…
Thank you again for your hard work in Christ
Thank you, Father Seraphim. Your words are very wise. I have one problem with the stables talents: the lord/ master appears a not kind nor compassionate person. How do we reconcile that with the Almighty? Gd bless you, Father.
Thank you xxx
Namaste Satnam Asè
Thank you so much.
Thank you!
Amém
Thank you for this video, brother. This is a very important topic to the development of my generation and the next, and I think you hit the nail on the head with this one. Thank you for the care and love you put into these videos, and God bless you ❤
What shall I return to the Lord
for all his goodness to me?
I will lift up the cup of salvation
and call on the name of the Lord.
I will fulfill my vows to the Lord
in the presence of all his people.
Precious in the sight of the Lord
is the death of his faithful servants.
🙏🏽
They do be wearing a mask I agree
I've been struggling with this for years I was told I was this or I was that, God knows me😂❤he made me a certain way and nothing wrong with that me❤so what the world tried to make me a certain way because of me living in the flesh, that doesn't have a bearing on who I really am ❤thank you God
I think some of us should run ie Iona lol
stay strong everyone god bless us all
When you say, "Do as much as you can...", please tell us what that doing consists of. 🙏
All the world is masks and characters.
God however....
Doamne ajută Părinte. Vă urmăresc din România cu mare drag. Mă întreb de ce nu apare și limba română în subtitrări , engleza mea nu este excelentă, vă mulțumesc.....
Attend. The Lord told you this age shall come. It is the age of Spiritual Darkness where it was said none could work and even the Saints could be fooled. Understand this in your Heart and Attend to what we tell you. The Father is a Unity of Himself and His Children. The Kingdom of Heaven can be described like a fine landscape painting, it can Only be Known and Seen by those who become a Natural part of its Scenery. No Mortal has any power of Good, for the Father Alone is Good, and the Father is the Source of All the Virtues that Describe Him, thus we should at All Times seek to Reflect those virtues in our lives here. Here is a Secret for you that Our Beloved told the Disciples. There is No You or I in Our Fathers Kingdom, there is Only We, there is Only Us, This answers your question of why Jesus spoke from the Cross asking why has thou forsaken Me? and as you know He done no Wrong, thus the Only Answer Resides in Truth, for Unity makes us One, as God is One, Thus there is No I Am in God, for He Remains Eternally One I Am, and we His Children are One with Him...
Amen
🙏
❤❤❤
