God bless you. Have a blessed day. God grant us a blessed Resurrection!
I have never cried more listening to a sermon...Thank you for posting these videos for everyone, including myself, to be able to listen to. 🙏
Christ is Risen! Truly He is Risen!
Glory To God ❤

Christ is Risen!
I see my failings but the flesh is so weak.
But Christ is Risen, and He only can raise us up!
Should we take communion every day this week? Yesterday I felt so unworthy but I took anyway. Today, I don't know what to do... I have thoughts about taking advantage, not being worthy, I spent the day working and not too much prayer is taking place, my heart is breaking.. What to do? Lord have mercy on us and save us ☦
You should contact your spiritual father and ask him.
Yes the demons do attack. at what point do we say that our free will has won against them?
Cutting our will is a good exercise. Praying about it is also very important.
@@OrthodoxTradition thank you
When I listen to these sermons I often feel like nothing we do is good enough for God.
You shouldn't think like that; that is not what the Metropolitan is saying. God loves humility because He is humble. We have to prepare for the perfect Kingdom of Paradise, and to do that, we work towards the goals set before us.
With humble, heartfelt, "forgive me, Lord," all Paradise can be ours. Paradise is our home, not this fallen world.
@@OrthodoxTradition Thank you. That’s helpful.
I feel sorry for Judas. And I also think that God doesn’t want his children to be in hell.
God wants all men to be saved. He doesn't want anyone to go to hell. But we have free will. If someone chooses to be away from Him, they are free to do so.
@@OrthodoxTradition I understand. I just feel that our free will is too flawed.
@@OrthodoxTradition Judas ended his life because of his regret in betraying Christ. Isn’t that someone who needed help? At that point he did realize his mistake. Doesn’t that deserve mercy?
