Thank you so much father! This talk is very helpful. Aspecially the part where you talk about the young people of this generation and their battle with worthlessnes. I would love to hear more about this topic. 🙏

I am so happy to have found your teachings. You constantly bring up points that I have struggled with and never got any help with.. Glory to God! Thank you

This was by far I think the most helpful. Thank you, Vladyka, for taking the time to teach. Much needed and appreciated.

Thank you Father for an excellent talk . Your presentation is easy to listen to and to digest . My question : please clarify the word judgement vs discernment . The judgement we are warned against leads to condemnation . Discernment is something else . I continually hear the phrase “we should not judge .” When is discernment indicated ?Please compare/contrast these two terms . Good Strength .

Excellent! "Living a life of extreme watchfulness"!!!

Priest makes the faith palpable which is harder to do than it seems. Very spiritual man as it were. Thank you for transmitting the ancient faith. Christ is in our midst! He is and always will be!

Thank you Vladika!

Hi Father. I love your videos. I'm a catechumen at the moment. I'm a convert from Traditional Roman Catholicism (attended Latin Mass). I'm struggling horribly with scrupulosity and the concept of life confession. I'm constantly obsessing about getting all the details and examples within sin categories correct in confession. The reason why I'm obsessing and paranoid 24/7 is because I read and heard from various sources that much like in Roman Catholicism, in Orthodoxy if you withhold even just one sin, your entire absolution is invalid, you therefore are automatically damned for certain, and must reconfess even all of the properly confessed sins fronthat invalid confession, at the next opportunity. I've heard this from Priests as well, both Greek and Russian. My spiritual father disagrees with this , and says it isn't true. He still says you will be guilty of a greater sin for withholding, but now I'm not even sure what that even means due to all of the contradictions. It isn't helping, because now I'm absolutely confused, and paranoid. What if my spiritual father is wrong, and the others are right, and I end up going to hell for withholding a detail I wasn't sure I needed to say, when confession a general category of sin. Furthermore, there's some sins I may or may not have done, therefore I don't know if Ive even done them. Right now, I'm choosing to only confess sins I'm absolutely certain of, in order to relieve my paranoia, but I'm still terrified in fear that maybe I'll still be guilty of withholding if by some algorithmic chance I was guilty of that sin, despite me not being able to figure it out. My spiritual father said im not obliged to confess uncertain things, but what if hes wrong? Others have said differently. I could kean my damnation. Please help me Father Jonah. I trust your opinion greatly, due to what I've seen in your videos. Much love Max

Is this the end of the series or will you be speaking further on this topic? It has been very enlightening, especially for a protestant who hasn't grown up with confession in this form.
