What an unique and special story. God bless your priest, and I am glad he had such a nice and impactful encounter with St. Paisios. 💗

I was just gifted this book today ❤

Maybe you could be a saint of this present generation. Be the goodness you wish to see in the world.

@@NouraZahleAmen, try to live like a saint everyday in humility and acquire a peaceful spirit and thousands will be saved!

@cjschweisthal3830 Exactly. God calls us all to be saints. That is why he allows some of our suffering. To help us fulfill our full potential.

@@LovingtheTruth856 I am sharing a prayer. And why is it a sin to praise a man?

Wow

@@LovingtheTruth856 God bless you! Doesn’t hurt to have extra prayers!☺️

St paisios was a Christian, my friend. A great one too @@LovingtheTruth856

@@LovingtheTruth856 Absolutely!☺️

My pleasure!

Yes, it is a Greek series and is going to have a 2nd season, airing October 2024. I have the first season with english subtitles, it is wonderful.

@@LovingtheTruth856 have you ever considered Attending an Orthodox Divine Liturgy? go and see for yourself, friend... to judge the Body of Christ from outside without ever looking into it would be a mistake... i went to Attend, and i was convinced after seeing how the teaching of the Apostles, and thereby the teaching of Christ God, are preserved and not tainted by man's wisdom. man's wisdom says,"the Church is many bodies, and the Body of Christ is split between many, disagreeing sects!" but the Divinely wise Apostle Paul wrote to his fellow Christians with the ‭words,"Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle." and in this we see that there is a Holy Tradition, taught by the Apostles of Christ to their disciples, and handed down and preserved by the Grace of God, untainted, unchanged; delivered by the All-Holy Spirit to the Apostles from Christ the Lord. as Christ said,‭"Howbeit when He, the Spirit of Truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come. He shall glorify Me: for He shall receive of Mine, and shall shew it unto you." the All-Holy Spirit descended upon and filled the Ever-Virgin Mary, the Apostles and the 70, and they went out into all the world, spreading the Gospel of peace, teaching and Baptising all in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. ❤☦❤

@@LovingtheTruth856 The three oldest and apostolic chruches (Orthodox, Catholics, Orientals/Copts) all do patron saints, but the sects that sprung out from 1500s do not. Furthermore in the Didache (the church's earliest known catechism book, dated to as late as the 150 ad and likely much earlier) it explicity states multiple time to baptise in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. How do you account for this? "And concerning baptism, baptize this way: Having first said all these things, baptize into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit" -Didache, Chapter 7

@@LovingtheTruth856 Its true that acts 2:38 does say to babptise everyone in the name of Christ, but Christ himself says in Matthew 28:19 to baptise all nation in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" Mt 28:19 Also, you DO know we don't actually get baptised IN the name of our patron saints, right? We just take on the name of our patron saints, but we are baptised in the name of the Trinity. Also i editied my last comment and added some more arguments, but im not sure if you saw them.

@@LovingtheTruth856 Uh... what? Christ himself said to baptise in the name of the trinity, yet the apostles are saying in acts to baptise in the name of Jesus. Whos words are you going to more more weight in?

@@LovingtheTruth856 also lets put the patron saint thing aside for now so we can focus on trinitarian baptism

@@LovingtheTruth856 First off, let it be known that I agree with you that there are no contradictions. But my friend, Christ clealy says to baptise in the name of the Father Son and Holy Spirit in Mt 28:19. "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" Assume im an idiot, which I am. How does this say anything other than that we should be baptised in the name of the trinity?

@@LovingtheTruth856You’re neither my bishop nor my priest.

Check out a Documentary called: Athos. I forget what the rest of it is called but it’s fantastic

Because that is the grand finale of this channel. Saving the closest to his heart for last.

All the Saints are Secretly Serbian at Heart so it's ok.

Different speaker

@@IN-pr3lw that makes significantly more sense

@@LovingtheTruth856 Нисам рекао Хришћани, већ да духовног оца старца Пајсија нису канонизовали
