I was blessed to be able to tend to him with Psalms as we prepared his funeral and given the honor of being a pallbearer for his service. Hardly any words were ever exchanged between us, but in his death, without a word uttered, he pierced my heart. Unto the end he declared Christ as King. I will be forever thankful for that, and I pray he continues to help me by his prayers. Glory to God in all things.
Especially as I had to grow up with a father who was so damaged by life he could not be good to me and teach me I am lovable..a hard pain I carry now for 55 years.. this video moved me deeply
Father Seraphim, you have got that Glory, It's all around you, you are truly blessed. Thank you for your inspirational words...all the way from Australia.
Your words have really moved me and inspired me. Im going to an Orthodox Church this Sunday for the first time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. God bless you.
This hits hard after his repose... I hardly said a word to him while he was alive but its cool to see what kind of person he was. I always got the impression that he was such a kindly gentle soul and very wise from the way he was in the church. Very christlike. May his memory be eternal ☦️🙏
May God bless the Earth with many as this man. Best wishes from Romania!🙋♂️ Glad and invigorating to see this spirit in English speaking land. It's a treasure😃. Health and joy to all!
I am so grateful for having found him on RUclips, and thankful that such priests/. Fathers exist. Thank you God! Thank you also that only thumb up here
Wish I knew you personally ( all of you) I am Russian Orthodox, but not from birth, I speak English only. You probably know of the Jordanville Monastery/Seminary/ Church? Fr Luke, Fr Cyprian? Abbot and the other priest my husbands god-father. Mine too, I always say as once married you are "one" so he is mine too. He helps us both. our Spiritual father is abbot Ft Luke and they are such wonderful people, and are honestly caring of everyone. Beautiful and touching Video! TY and Bless you all and Many years!
Dear father Seraphim, two Russian have become intercessors for us. Roman and Gregory died. By the hands of the ISIS they were killed. But they are alive. They are with Christ because they refused to renounce Him.
And it is worth ordering from the priest in the church to read the akathist for your name of St. Cyprian and St. Justine and of St. Archangel Michael against magic and all enemies visible and unvisible. This is if you are baptized Orthodox. There always were sorcerers even after Jesus said it is from devil they remained in every country and on every second or third family something is put from a sorcerer. And when you intend to go to command the akathist in the church, such thoughts may appear: "Maybe tomorrow, or next week", "Maybe I'm such a freak and no one is watching me (girls or boys, if you can not anyways find a pair, or you can for some reason speak only with one girl or boy.)", "The life is this way with good times and bad times", " I am so(if you have impotence)". etc. These thoughts come from demons from sorcery spells because only the prayer of the priest can 100% protect from magic and enemies visible and invisible. Jesus Christ told the apostles(which are the first priests) "I give you the right to untie everything that is tied in heaven and on earth.". Faith and creed is opinion, is how somebody thinks with his head. Repent is changing and not auto-humiliation as many think. May be enherited soul ilnessses like despresia, schizofrenia, Tourette sindrom, insomnia, bifurcation of personality etc. as they are from soul illnesses. Firstly everyone must to eradicate schizofrenia, depression etc. from him and after that to planify making children, in order that they will not jump from balconie, have blood cancer, be born bodytobody joined twins or two headed and etc. These soul illnesses can be healed by eucharisty. In the afternoon before eucharist day you have to read " The prayers before eucharisty" where are asked from eucharisty such things like: soul and body healing, sins forgiveness, protection from devils etc. It is better to go to confession in the morning in the day of eucharisty(before eucharisty)because from evening to morning everyone can make the same sins again and again and also other bigger sins. If not to forgive someone who asked for forgiveness it is not worth going to eucharisty because the sins will not be forgiven. Humbleness is awareness that in every doing you can fall and not auto-oppresion as most do and think, someone without auto-oppression is 100% free in moves in every direction, it is like a lion at freedom. Entering(submersion 3 times with a certain prayer and crossing yourself) in water springs of orthodox saints (which are near or in monasteries)give very much power and sureness to people with depression, panic attacks, schizofrenia and other soul illnesses, there are some springs of mother of God Maria that even heal soul illnesses.
Having been raised a Roman Catholic and submersed in the Protestant wasteland 30+ years, I've been attracted to the Orthodox Church for various reasons. However....upon examining some Orthodox teachings, I am stopped short of continuing further investigation for the same basic reasons I left the Catholic Church 50 years ago. The "Church" claims exclusivity as the vehicle for salvation. I cannot allow myself to embrace such a limited God, nor to embrace the notion that sacraments are essential to salvation. The Orthodox Church commits the same errors as the RCC side, as beautiful and attractive as it is. Such a Church would benefit those who embrace the limitations of what I refer to as "Triumphalism," that "we alone are the vehicle for one's connection to God." And inasmuch as the Orthodox Church has made recent overtures to a mending of the Great Schism with the RCC, I could not tolerate any relationship with an entity which has done great harm to me in my youth. As with the RCC, such a worldwide entity as the Orthodox Church is very unlikely to widen its vision for the few. Therefore, I cannot further consider myself an initiate of the Church. If hell awaits me despite faith and love for Jesus Christ, then I've vastly overestimated God's love and kindness.
I salute you brother🙋♂️! Best wishes to you! Glad you shared and thank you for that. I wouldn't take "the church claims..." ad literam. There's different people actually claiming that or that. There's absolutely no "church" where the whole constituents agree on absolutely everything. There's absolutely no guarantee that one just because calls himself an Orthodox Christian has his salvation assured. I strongly believe that Holy Spirit can emerge in every soul, no matter if one is called member of a "church" or another "church". Basically it's about the discernment of every soul to differentiate between right or wrong. "The vehicle for salvation" finally comes from within not from outside. One has always a choice and to pick whatever comes towards him. I call myself Orthodox Christian ... still not sure if worthy to hop in "the vehicle for salvation". :( Love, health and peace to you brother! Prayers from far Romania! 🙌

May his memory be eternal.
