I am an Orthodox Christian, a convert from Roman Catholicism. Thank you for this reminder. I unsubscribed from an Orthodox chat group for what I perceived as a lack of charity for others who are not members of the Orthodox Church.

One must fill our cup with the Lord, so that we may overflow in love and peace into other’s empty cups

God bless brother thank you for this encouraging video🙏🏿☦️

Glory To God Lets start to put pride away and become humble.

Beautifully spoken. ❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you for this

I agree with you brother, we have to be very careful with this as Christians, we do not even realize sometimes but we are often acting the same as pharisees acted - talk talk talk, and act as total hypocrites.

2:57 the church is the body of Christ not a building or an organization or a denomination. It’s the true Holy Spirit filled believers who do the will of God. Other than that I agree with what you said (I’m not orthodox)

Thank you. You're wise. What is worst than killing someone by trying to save him ? And how ridiculous it is. We're not all expert surgeons. Most of us are more like nurses. We can easily out of habbit and experience put a diagnosis on someone's soul but few of us can propose a sound treatment. It makes me remember the "The wise man speaks because he has something to say; fools speak because they have to say something" famous proverb on the net. Let's be careful and remember that only God can fix blindness of spirit while any sinner could easily distinguish who had blindness when the Lord walked among us and make different hypothesis about how may they or their parents have deserved them this misfortune. Only God could make from a blindman a seer of the secret divinity of the God-Man and a forerunner of true worship. God can make miracles. Let's beg for his mercy on account of our brothers like the jews did for the Roman soldier who was a benefactor of their synagogue. Let's have hope in God's tenderness toward our fellow brother and that he Will hear our prayer. If by gaining our brother we loose our humility, what is the benefit for us ? Is there even any ? Are we fooling ourselves instead . Let's seek for the Kingdom of heaven and justice and believe everything has to arrive according to God's will and when he Wills. We're servants, not master. The Master is God. We have to be ready to obey. The least among you will be the best in the kingdom said He. Let's not compromise our salvation for the seek of pride. If our neighbours ask for help let's help them for what we can and humbly adress our self-limitations. How can we heal as we're sick as well ? Why not instead to recommend the hospital we're going to and trust The Physician ? I personnaly feel this is our duty. Witnessing our shortcomings and the Majesty of our Leader is a confession of faith. God will see it and if this sacrifice is pleasant to Him, he might benevolently, Him who doesn't need anything, receive it and eventually share his benevolence to our brother. Only love cures. The Bible says "God is love" and Jesus means Gods treats.

Very good point brother! +

Amen brother, from a Chatolic.

You will know them by their fruits❤

Thank you brother, for this video. Am Roman Catholic and we do have disagreeing beliefs. Ecumenism is strongly frowned upon in Orthodoxy (Eastern) as I have seen, and Anglicanism belief of all churches that follow the one and true Triune God surely is not okay (because Protestants, Mormons, Baptist church beliefs). We cannot surely compromise to form one church (ecumenical) because we do have disagreeing beliefs. However we cannot do anything due to said disagreeings. I also am conflicted with the Filioque, because it was added without proper argument. What I am certain of is the potency of the Иисусова Молитва/Jesus Prayer. Surely you are filled with the Holy Spirit. God bless you Brother, may we see each other in heaven.

Im.nor.ontersted in "saving others" only GOD Almighty can do that and I am not casting my pearls before swine anymore.

I kept trying and fighting for some people, even changing homosexual people’s ways to look for their righteous path and tell them if they don’t it might be too late to change them for who they are, get rid of homosexuality and look for Christ. Be happy. It’s hard but they wouldn’t want to…

wondering how painful it must be to kneel on a large round boulder for long periods of time

I would turn the music down a little bit in the future. It can be hard to focus on your voice since the chant has text itself

What is the chant name?

As a catholic, i like to call other orthodox christians as just christians. Same for my fellow catholics. Why do we need to divide each other whit these names, while we are the same.

How about you just doing you and accept that others just want to do themselves, how do you feel if someone from another faith thinks they have the right to push their beliefs onto you ?
