    Thank you Your Eminence! This is a gem of a sermon, reminding us to not get so distracted by the waves, thunder and lightning we encounter along the way in this life, even from moment to moment. And to keep our focus on our Lord Jesus Christ, our God, for things are impermanent, life is fleeting and we are fading. While we are here, we have the opportunity to reach out and ask our Lord to help us transform our hearts and minds, to help us with our salvation. Oh Lord, keep me humble, oh Lord, give me strength, oh Lord, give me courage!
    God bless and keep all of you!🥰🙏☦🕊

    Your Eminence, I've been listening to Mitropoliti Athanasios of Limassol and my brother, whose Greek is not as good, told me that he listens to your sermons and now I listen to both and I truly appreciate and am most grateful to you and all our fathers for spreading our beautiful religion and our love of Christ our Saviour. Personally, God has performed a massive miracle ... my life belongs to our Lord and I feel complete and content. He never turned away from me a sinner, but gave me His Holy hand and raised me from oblivion and self. Thank you. God bless you father.

    I believe that the rooster represents awarness , a wake up call , we must all day be aware of our own mind and the sins or images that come to our mind and each though or judgment or any sin that comes , immediatly we must call god just like jonah called god from the bottom of the sea , and we must pray the jesus prayer , all day awarness of our mind , and god and our neighbor ☦️ i might be wrong but thats what i believe correct me if im wrong , i love this channel GOD BLESS YOU

    Hello does the goc-a currently have full communion with moscow? I am baptized russian orthodox.

    • @godsaveus4380
      @godsaveus4380 Рік тому +2

      The only canonical GOC is not "A" but the one under Archbishop Kallinikos in Greece, and Metropolitan Demetrios in America. They are the mainstream group that has direct links to ROCOR (St John Shanghai and San Francisco and St Philaret of NY). The others are splinters. So called GOC-A is in schism and does not reflect the GOC in any way.
      The real GOC hold the original ROCOR line, which means that in order to be in Communion with Moscow, the Moscow Patriarchate needs to repent of Sergianism.
