Beautiful. Thank you Andrew and Mother Christophora.
Thanks to God! Glad you found us...and were edified my Mother Christophora's words!
Thank you for sharing this wise interview. I learned much! I look forward to watching more collective wisdom videos.
Wonderful! I had just watched another video and was saying to myself, "I wish there were more interviews with orthodox nuns".
❤❤❤ Thank you do much for posting this! Thank you Mother!
Wonderful! Keep them coming (especially from monastics and perhaps bishops)
Glad that you're enjoying them! Duly noted...I'll see what I can arrange :-)
Great Episodes!!!!
Thank you.
Christ is Risen! Thanks to God!
I'm not eastern Orthodox, though non-denominational protestant, yet I find these monastic clips to be very wholesome

Proud to be an atheist and an apostate from the Eastern Orthodox Church. Never return. Never repent.
Thank God I am a convert to the Orthodox church. Never leave, continually repent.
Cool story
So sad, and atheist, and proud. Must be a cold and lonely on that road :(
