    I'd rather listen to a thousand imperfect heartfelt carols than ones that were just words delivered perfectly in tune. This was the best carol service I have listened to in a long time.

    • @mullmonastery
      @mullmonastery  9 часов назад +5

      Glory be to God, dear one. It is always an act of humility posting these annual carols - we have to make ourselves vulnerable and do what we do out of love, not because we are good at it :)

    Thank you, Fr. Seraphim and community. There is nothing more beautiful than a caroling from men and women who have deficated their lives to God and to a life of prayer. Your voices reaching far beyond your monastic walls are like little beams of light penetrating the darkness of this world. Thank you for sharing the light you all receive from God to rhe rest of the world.

    God bless you all, Father Seraphim. My son is only 1, but whenever I watch your videos, he very much enjoys going up to the screen to listen and look at you. My family is new to orthodoxy, and it's wonderful to see my child be so taken with your videos, even if only understanding in spirit. God bless you all at Mull and Iona Monastery! Love from Daniel & Chanel Stephens in Texas ❤️‍🔥

    This was my own gift today. I am caring for my partner who has cancer, and I am so busy and so sad. I'm a professional musician; every note was so very much appreciated by me- especially the missed ones. It made me cry because it's so pure. 🙏 holy holy holy

    • @emmaaustin123
      @emmaaustin123 День назад +4

      6 years ago I was facing Christmas with cancer. I was told it would be my last. I prayed and thanked God for my life and asked him to heal me if it was His will and told Him I accepted his will in my life. My family were trying to hide their sorrow when they were around me. Rejoice as much as possible, don't let cancer take a second from your lives. Prayers for you both.

    Thank you Father. You reminded me as one my own priest said in a sermon. "Joy and love are a choice" I will choose that today and the coming days.
    I am an old lady who will celebrate Christmas alone, I miss my parents I long to go home, but I will choose joy. Pray for me, please.
    This is beautiful.

      @mullmonastery  9 часов назад +2

      May God bless you, dear one. There are so many lonely people in this world - some like yourself, others who are alone in their own families, not loved, not supported or even worse. In a sense, we are all alone until we discover Christ within us. Once we feel His love in our hearts, loneliness becomes different, still a cross, but one easier to carry forward. All our love in Christ, dear one.
