Thank you for the link!

A homosexual that was never baptized Orthodox ????? Really??

@@peterberesi1421 He’s a Saint. ☦️

Me too, Cristos Anesti!

He played a huge role in my conversion and I’m taking his name even though he isn’t officially a Saint. Just looking at this man you can see Gods light all over his face. Purified with grace ❤️☦️

Use the first name of an Orthodox priest, especially a monk, when calling him Father, and NEVER use his last name. In Orthodoxy, there is a reason for everything. Father Seraphim, pray to God for us.

@@BodilessVoice I did not know this and would not have written it as so, had I known. Do you know the reason for this? I will see if I can look it up in the meantime. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

@@George-ur8ow No problem friend! It's the holy tradition of the Church. This is especially true for monks, who symbolically cut themselves off from their families of origin, in order to fully devote themselves to Christ.

@@BodilessVoice Thank you - this makes complete sense. I appreciate it and have edited my comment accordingly. God be with you Brother!

Yes, and the light in his eyes. My son 2 years say “more/again” we are watching again and again,, I don’t understand but the song is wonderful in my hart. I am a Christian, we have no orthodox Christian here, but I follow on youtube. I have learned to pray many times a day and sometimes at night, and the sins disappear, pray for us.

@@briankristensen349 this makes me so happy but it makes me very sad that in your country there is no Christian Orthodox churches …. Continue praying and believing in God … This is the real faith ….Here in Greece we have a lot of Christian orthodox churches

@@Evelynn1235 but sadly the faith have disappeared from our hearts as nation. May father Seraphim pray for us and the whole world in these cloudy times...

@@a-human you are Greek right ?

@@Evelynn1235 ναι από τη Θεσσαλονίκη, απλά απάντησα στα αγγλικά για να καταλαβαίνουν όλοι, καλή Παναγία να έχουμε!

Κουράγιο αδελφέ. Μεθ’ημων ο Θεός. Ο Άγιος πατήρ Σεραφείμ να πρεσβεύει για εσένα και για όλους μας! Χαρά Θεού, χαρά ψυχής, σου εύχομαι. Μην το βάζεις κατο. Καλον αγώνα…ο Κύριος μας ευλογεί.

God bless you dear brother. I pray for you to find your way to the only one true Catholic church which is the Eastern Orthodox Christian church.

Added some :)

Rural Ascetic These are the beatitudes sang by valaam brethren choir.

It's on the title of the video. The beatitudes. 😉

No, but I came to love him through his wonderful writings.

@@green0451 Same here! Although I've never read any of his first hand writings. Only excerpts from the Gregory Decapolite youtube channel. I'm a Roman Catholic looking at converting to Orthodoxy.

Gods will .God gives life and only he knows when we will have the last breath on earth.

The problem manifested itself when Father Seraphim was in his 20s. He prayed to the Virgin Mary to be given more time to do smth worhwhile with his life, and he was granted another 20 years. And he sure made good use of them.

What do you mean?

@@jarrilaurila the first and most important sacrament is the baptism. Rose was never baptized, so his priesthood was not true (or not God related). Second, even if he was baptised, he was not alowed to be a priest, because he was a homosexual, so his priesthood could not be blessed by God . It is clear that he was just a wolf wearing sheepskin. Same as origen, in his teachings he looks very orthodox, but not for an orthodox. There is a very subtle poison in all his teachings and the most obvious consequences is the fanatism that can be seen to almost all his disciples. An Orthodox can never be a fanatic, and an Orthodox knows that he is heading to God. A true Orthodox priest will never under any circumstances alow or create a reason to be worshipped by his spiritual children or anybody and if he will see that, he will quickly send them to another priest. His duty is to lead them to God. What happened with rose and podmosanski over there is NOT orthodoxy but deceiving and false orthodoxy. They used the image of Saint John Maximovici to present themselves like blesed by a Saint, like many other heretics. It is just like the devil, that can come, looking like an angel but if you are paying attention, you will realise shortly is a deceiver. It is hard in the English speaking world to realise that, bacause you don't even have a properly translated Bible. If you will do some research, will see that all versions (and there is a huge number) were biased translations. Not even one is translated to show the truth, starting with king james version. I've heard that the Orthodox Church of Greece is working for the last few yers on one. You should check everything you are reading for author (to be a true Saint and old ones are the ones that are the light of the Church) the translation to be made under the blessing of the Canonical Church (and keep in mind that there in only one related to a country/nationality. And the authors to have among the at least a Priest or a theologian that is not an ecumenist (so to make shure that the translation is not influenced by any new currents) . You don't need much to read to get to Heaven. If you find a good genuine book, it usually take years to understand everything that is in that wisdom that the Saint left to us in that book. Also, a good thing is to try to find people that have similar genuine and sincere aspirations like you. When you will start talking about God and faith, you will see the benefits. I pray that God, for the prayers of the Holly Virgin Mary and all His Saints, will open your (and everyones who is sincerely and selflessly looking truth) eyes and hart to see the truth and protect you from deception.

@@peterberesi1421 thank you for response.

@@peterberesi1421 I think you spill the banks of tempered criticism into polemical judgment. Fr. Seraphim, apparently, is too Orthodox and yet not Orthodox enough for you. You then go off on a tangent about Biblical translations, saying "you don't need much to read to get to Heaven". I question your knowledge concerning Orthodoxy itself and the liturgy, as you should know that we don't need to even know how to read a single word "to get to Heaven". Lord, have mercy.

@Dimitrije Petrovic no heretic is Christs servant. It is the devil's servant, wearing a Christian clothes. And of course, i don't like heretics, and this is just normal, because i love Christ.
