S01E10 Elder Gabriel - Smile when you are upset
Subtitles: English, Romanian
Video recording: Daniel Buzdugan ( / daniel.buzdugan.5 )
Romanian translation: Urdea Mihail Pelerinaje ( / izabela.simion.7 )
Elder Gabriel:
"If an upset man smiles, this immediately brings him into heaven.
An Arab proverb says that who sweetly speaks can breastfeed even lions.
In order to have the blessing of God we have to confess often and go to Church often.
Pray without ceasing, "Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me! Most Holy Theotokos, save us!”
Fast on Wednesdays and Fridays without oil and on other days that the Holy Church establishes.
When we have the blessing of our spiritual father, to commune with the Body and Blood of our Lord, as often as we can.
Read the Holy Scriptures, even a little bit each day.
We should do at least a little charity towards a poor family..."
The purest spiritual teaching can often seem so simple when we hear it, but sometimes takes a lifetime to understand , let alone impliment.
Hello Pastor, I have a question
me too
Hello the Christianity is the true religion? Way of happiness and paradise?
@@user-wh3vi2ss1p yes, orthodox Christianity.
True!
Elder Gabriel is currently going through very difficult times / intense persecution for his stance against ecumenism and the attacks on our faith from within. Please pray for him.
Oh no :(🙏
Do you know what his situation is now? 1/25/2022

CANON 15 OF THE FIRST AND SECOND COUNCIL
But as for those who on account of some heresy condemned by Holy Synods or Fathers sever themselves from communion with their president, that is, because he publicly preaches heresy and with bared head teaches it in the Church, such persons as these not only are not subject to canonical penalty for walling themselves off from communion with the so-called bishop before synodical clarification, but they shall be deemed worthy of due honor among the Orthodox. For not bishops, but false bishops and false teachers have they condemned, and they have not fragmented the Church's unity with schism, but from schisms and divisions have they earnestly sought to deliver the Church.
Interpretation St. Nicodemus the Hagiorite’s:
If, however, the said presidents are heretics, and are preaching their heresy openly, and on this account those subject to them separate themselves, and even though it be before there has been any conciliar or synodal trial concerning the heresy, but are even deemed to deserve fitting honor as Orthodox Christians, since not only have they caused no schism in the Church on account of their separation, but have rather freed the Church from the schism and heresy of their pseudo-bishops.
Interpretation of St. Nicodemus Milash Bishop of Dalmatia :
If, however, a Bishop, Metropolitan, or Patriarch begins to preach publicly in Church any heretical doctrine that is antithetical to Orthodoxy, then the aforementioned clergy have a right and at the same time an obligation to separate themselves forthwith from that Bishop, Metropolitan, or Patriarch, and for this reason not only will they not be subject to any canonical penalty, but will, moreover, even be praised, insofar as they have not thereby reprehended or rebelled against legitimate Bishops, but against false bishops and false teachers, and have not thereby initiated any schism in the Church, but on the contrary have delivered the Church, as far as possible, from schism and division.
On my birthday about ten years back, I was walking into a store where I'm from (Long Island, NY), & a dad was walking out w/ his kid. I share a birthday w/ my dad, & I wasn't in the best mood b/c my mom had always ruined our birthdays by acting nasty to him--I'd learned to expect a crappy day every year. Anyway, I must've been looking like a serious Russian or something, & this black guy w/ his kid says "Hey man, smile, it's not so bad!" Guy really brightened my day by putting himself out there like that. Obviously he had a big smile on his face. That's what this video made me think of. It's really true. Happiness & smiles are contagious. After death it will be worth something in our favor to have sent smiles to people who seemed upset. Every little thing counts. CHRIST IS RISEN! GOD BLESS YOU!
Indeed He is Risen!
💥Lovely comment. Best wishes Jan. 25, 2022.

Best wishes again...Jan. 10, 2023.
I really love this because I'm always grumpy if things don't go my way and render myself incapable of being kind just because I'm going thru tough times
The Truth is always simple but not as simple to actually do in reality because of the nature of mankind.
God bless this wise man, I must learn from him.
Thank you. It is good to be reminded of these little.simple.things.
Clear. Concise. Holy.
Wisdom! Thank you for sharing
What the elder says in the beggining is that if you smile at an upset man u take his anger and transfer him immediately into Heaven (in Greek)..may we all have his blessings
☦️ Through the prayers of our Holy Father's LORD JESUS CHRIST OUR GOD have mercy on us and save us
Fasting on Mondays is traditionally very important too. Some priests say, that those people who fast on mondays as well are stronger spiritually against demons, and attacks of demons, for some reason.
Why on Monday I never heard of this tradition
@@FoundSheep-AN I have never heard this maxim either...and been 40+ years Orthodox. If so, that is good. Especially after mostly fast-free Sat/ Sun.
Some Orthodox fast also on Mondays in honor of the bodiless powers. Some also fast on Saturday in honor of Christ's descent into Hell and as preparation for communion. Truth be told, one could fast every day but Sunday with a blessing - Tuesday for St John the Baptist (who was an ascetic) and Thursday for the Apostles (we have an annual Apostles fast, do we not? Some also practice a weekly one). Each according to his/her strength and what is beneficial in drawing the heart to long more for God.
Thank you lord jesus for everything ❤️☦️❤️
Good advice.
So nice.
Very sound advice, thank you for posting. It's surprising just how much good a kind word or a heartfelt smile can do. 🌼🌿💮
I have hear this advise before, but forgive me God, its SO DIFFICULT to apply sometimes, especially in todays fallen world with so many ANGER TRIGGERS ( even the righteous anger).
The world has ALWAYS been corrupted and full of evils. We must transcend this with our virtues... that's the point...become Christ like☦️
Ce Om, ce frumusețe! 🙏❤🙏

0:12 I don't know if this is a way they are greeted when entering a holy place. I admit I chuckled slightly seeing him get booped on the head. Praise the Lord.
It's a way of giving his blessing to some of his novices entering his house... it shouldn't hurt. :)

Dragii mei traducerea cuvintelor parintelui e gresita...traducerea in engleza preia traducerea in romaneste si e gresita deci si ea...

Why does he seem disinterested in talking to the interviewer?
Because he dont want attention, he want to pray to God, and waith for his death in mind peace.
What if it is a forced smile?!? The Heart ♥️ is so Heavy but yet; you force yourself to smile 😓😔
Yeah we gain grace by force
" Daca cineva zambeste unui om tulburat/suparat ii preia tulburarea si il duce in paradis( ii da o stare de rai ) " este corect- traducatorul ad-hoc probabil sub impresia momentului nu aude, nu surprinde cum trebuie cuvintele parintelui....
Multumim! O sa corectam subtitrarea...

This is all fine and good but what about the deep psychological problems caused by my upbringing? Fasting, charity, prayer, the gospels, these will not undo the deep fissures laid in my subconscious mind through which all of my thinking and feeling are routed
Although God can heal any ailment, physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual, sometimes He wants us to seek professional help. I did in the past, and it was very helpful. God bless you & keep you very close to him always! ❤
