I was housekeeper to a very wealthy Lacan therapist south of Bordeaux and never in my life have I been in such an evil environment. He had met and married a much younger man who was basically trying to slowly kill him by smoking in the house and giving him aspartame instead of sugar and neglecting him. I wanted to tell my boss he was in mortal danger but was too frightened. I ended up leaving when the gardener left rubbish bins outside my house on the grounds and it just was getting too frightening, all the creepiness. There were clawmarks on the door where the two labradors had been locked in a room off the kitchen. I let them out and took them for walks along the Garonne river. It was downriver from Cadillac secure psychiatric hospital and the atmosphere was suffocatingly lugubrious. The psychiatrist was standing near me one day in the grounds while we were both looking at his nephew's son toddling (his husband had gone away for the weekend while his family visited) and he murmured, "Even at my age we make mistakes." Looking back I should have turned around and said, "How can I help?" I pray for his safety daily. His young husband is dangerous in my opinion. Please pray for the safety of Docteur Jean-Pierre Deffieux.

Very necessary talk!

The "orthodox" in freemasons , (among every other religion/"royal" that they welcome (ALL of them), including transexuals and crossdressers (formerly, "shriners"), Publically, and officially, in 2018. I believe their's is the theatre that produces the "EP Vs. MP" etc etc to chase (quarry) people to a False "Orthodox" messiah, who will "benevolently" offer the final mark of the beast, slithering among countless other multitude of distractions and actions of masked man/woman as gods arrayed against our Triune God.

Take personal and good, sacrificial care of your elderly, or they will take them and then YOU.

Thank you for this great video on Isaac Tlthe Sirian!

Thank you

I came back to watch this,How are you father.? I have read the book The Art of Prayer 🙏,a masterpiece,Theophan the recluse quotes and others . A great book 📕 I keep visiting.Forgive me father

💥Wonder-full instruction. 🕊☦️

Video is soft. Volume?

Hello Father! My name is Sloba from Serbia. I am interested to learn more about you and your monastery. I am a novice monk at Ribnica in Serbia. Is there a way I can contact you? Hvala!

10:39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul. Hebrews

Words of great spiritual wisdom discussed in a calm and controlled manner hit home. Saint Isaak the Syrian needs to be read by all Christians.

Glory to God!! Thank you Father for these talks so rich with the words of our Holy Fathers. I wish my priest would take the time to gather us together and speak like this. The soul needs to hear it over and over again so as to stay firm in the struggle.

Thank you Father. Such beautiful and insightful teachings.

Father bless. It's such a comfort to the soul to hear you speaking of the inner life of the soul with the wisdom of the Holy Fathers. May I ask who is your Spiritual Father from whom you received such light and grace?

Glory to God!

Thank you for your guidance.

Does anyone know what Parish this Priest is with?

Super!

How do you spell the name of the book?

What is the book called?

Vant hear it

thank you sir

Being orthodox is the wide door but living orthodoxy is the narrow door

EXCELLENT AND TIMELY. @ 14:44... AN EXAMPLE OF INTELLECTUAL PERFORMANCE LACKING GRACE IS CALVIN's EXPLANATORY SYSTEM, THE FAMOUS ACRONYM "tulip": Total depravity, DIVINE PROVIDENCE AS Unconditional election, Limited atonement, Irresistible grace, Perseverance of the saints. LOVE-BASED INTELLECTUAL PERFORMANCES RESULT IN CONCLUSIONS THAT DIFFER FROM FEAR-BASED INTELLECTUAL CONCLUSIONS. FIRSTLY, LOVE GOD; ONLY THEN, ENGAGE IN PHILOSOPHICAL THEOLOGY.

You are so blessed to have this priest, someone who love you very much.

Blessed father, First, I want to thank you for your words and the videos you always put up on RUclips, they have helped me a lot. Could you please tell me the source of certain quotes, which ones like from Father Alexander Elchaninoff (I don't know if I spelt his name right, sorry) and Fyodor Stepun? Forgive me, if my request causes you any inconvenience. May God bless you.

This is so important. This is something woefully underemphasized across the board, even in the Church. I pray greater attention be given to this topic both individually and within a parish. God bless you Father for bringing this critical wisdom to a larger audience.

Apostle Paul commended the Christian's who searched the scriptures inquisitivly. He called them Bereans..

The scripture tells us how to recognize Antichrist. Apostle John tells us how to recognize Antichrist. We use our MIND to calculate the number of the beast. This advice my sound deep and spiritual, but it's not scripturally sound. I listen to this and take the good advice while discarding what's unsound.

Thank you Father Seraphim.♥️

I so love this revelation of the kingdom of heaven within. How we have become the Dwelling Place of God. Archbishop Alexander Golitzin also said something that caught my attention recently. How the essential purpose of apocalyptic literature is to unveil the soul as the chariot throne of God. I think he was quoting Macarius at the time. Meanwhile, what do we mean when using the term “anti-Christ”? That which opposes Christ...? My present idea of eschatology is not so much a future time on the calendar, but rather the progressive unveiling of Christ in us. Thus in this triumphal entry, Christ displaces and triumphs over the one who had been sitting on the throne of our lives opposing the things of the Spirit (call it what we will…the flesh, the ego, the old nature), in order to establish His Kingdom. Messiah in us! As we thus become true partakers of the Divine Nature….His humility, wisdom, compassion, gentleness, kindness, patience, peace, and love (Col 3:9-15, Gal 2:20). I suppose the other aspect of that which opposes Christ in our lives is religion. The golden calves we dance around, constructed of our golden earrings (the Divine things we have heard, but then systematized). Our attempts to box in the Wind of the Spirit, and fashion it as our own. And thus maintain some sense of knowledge and control, rather than true yieldedness and emptiness. Anyhow, these teachings are lovely. I am deeply appreciating them. Thank you!

I needed this !! God’s timing is perfect🙏🙏

Dear Father, Thank you so much for these videos. I am so thankful for them. I cherish your videos, because a) they are actual pastoral talks (not made-for-RUclips content), b) You always quote and teach the Holy Fathers, and c) you always speak on subjects profitable for salvation. Out of all the myriad Orthodox RUclips channels, yours above all seems to reside in the true safe harbor of the saints. They are a great help! Thank you again, yours in Christ. - Seth

Allow me, if I may add it was not creating out of nothing only God can do that but the saints can transform something ( snow) to a completely something else ( Turkish delights)please excuse my trespass, not worthy to correct, but to clear it up for whoever may take it literally🌺thank father for this great talk , please pray for us all 🙏

Beautiful simply beautiful

Thank You Father for sharing Your Wisdom!

🙏

Amen

Just started the Philokalia after watching 4 or 5 of Father's videos. These are the exact explanations of what goes on in my mind and soul. I'v allowed my intellect to stray regularly into all the wrong places. Coming back after 50 years of debauchery requires much Grace. I am very grateful to you for these videos. I am in the Catholic Church the TLM. Still I feel lacking in instruction and so your videos keep me moving forward.

Please pray for me I’m under attack from within and without. In Jesus name, amen

So glad to find your teaching Fr. Seraphim. Blessed.

Question, if I have a thought come to mind that is along the lines of “I want …. Whatever” but right after that thought I feel totally different to it and reject it, is that just a temptation or a sin?

Love these. Please keep them coming

Hello, father. I must confess that I don't get the absolute insistence on the invalidity of personality theories. I'll agree, Jung is a controversial figure that has a totally different antrophology than the Christian one (We have a fallen nature, not a evil one that must be accepted, but rather fought against). However, the idea that we have certain personality traits, such as extraversion and introversion, how is that controversial? Isn't it fairly obvious when we view how our children naturally engage and interact with others? Why can't we believe that God created the world (and here in humans) in patterns, both biologically and psychologically. You say that extraversion is a sign of pride. Of course, it can definitely be so, but would you also say that an outgoing talkative child is displaying pride? I do, however, agree with you that "personality-thinking" can cause some people to view their sins as natural, because they believe to be have a high degree of a certain personality type that usually indulges in certain sinful activities. That can become a crutch, of course, for all of us. But to believe that our Creator created human beings with certain behavioral and psychological tendencies is not something I believe in controversial.

Thank you for your spiritual words of wisdom. Like pearls!!!

Bless me Father, I'm going to start Catachumin classes next week. This is helpful.

I have been suffering the same thing. It happened within 2 weeks of committing to God to go higher within him. He is a point on. I could not understand why it was happening. This gives me peace. Thank you!!!
