In our lamentable days the faithful are faced with a dilemma: to follow the "Orthodoxy" of the Church organization (which is overrun by Ecumenists, Social Gospel peddlers, and those who blindly follow them in everything) or to follow the Orthodoxy of the Organism (the Orthodoxy revealed by Christ)! Thank you and Fr. Savas for being obedient to and revealing this true Orthodoxy! Glory to God!
Thank you for reminding everyone of the difference between church-organization and Church Organism, that Holy new-martyr Mikhail Novoselov talked about in depth; It is such an important understanding, especially in our times, when many are getting confused how is it possible that in Church of God we see so many wrong comments and even teachings and actions of those who should be our guides to the Kingdom of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
J Don’t despair as this is part of the long road of suffering and prosecutions- God surely knows our hearts and true intentions + Let all Glory be to God +++
Thank you Gregory for your contributions to Orthodoxy in our modern times. May God continue to bless you in finding more sayings and texts from the contemporary saints and holy fathers in order to guide those of us left bewildered and lost from our local churches' apostasy. Please pray for St. Anthony's monastery to continue being a shining light, an uncovered candle, in the dark days at hand.

Very grateful as ever. It is especially touching as a convert who searched long through reading about many faith traditions to find at last the pearl of great price Orthodoxy and for our journey and care to be understood well by Archimandrite Savas. A coming home. Thank you Father Peter.
Blessed fathers, for us Orthodox trapped in mega cities without our Orthodox shepherds, your persistant efforts through Christ, to reach out and strengthen us, is without question the holiest gift from Christ at this very moment. My soul delights and is built up through the words of God’s Grace that reach us through you, during these times of loneliness. I do feel abandoned by the clergy - Lord forgive me for saying that, and I pray that their faith be emboldened through our resurrected Lord. These are times of persecution and we are all called to be shining beacons - τέκνα φωτός- of God’s Word, in a world that is sunk in sin. Jesus Christ our Lord to bless you abundantly and all the faithful who obey His Word. The name of the Lord be blessed, now and forever!
I’m sorry to hear that; I will remember you in my prayers. I’m learning to devote more time to prayer, to listening to sermons such as this one and reading the Bible and other books by the Fathers of the Church. I find that I am confessing my sins to another devoted Christian, just like the proto- Christian Church. I’m learning to value the sacramental life which is not available now, and to be patient like St Mary of Egypt. I used to be angry, frustrated, confused like you say, until last Sunday. Through prayer Christ has given me the wisdom to be patient. Like the paralytic at the pool of Bethesda (John 5). I’m blessed to have a brother in Christ and we pray, read, reflect together over the phone. I feel the Church is going underground, and that made me panic at first. But now I trust in God, without fear. And Jesus has empowered me....Have faith blessed soul, and don’t let fear separate you from the Almighty God. Pray unceasingly. The blessings of the Lord upon you. ‘Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus’ 2 Timothy 2:1

Thank you once again fr. Peter and fr. Savvas. I have been reading a new very detailed and thorough biography of st. Paisios the Athonite and noticed that he was warning the people a lot about "spiritual microbes" and dangers that ecumenism and endorsing western theology bring to our holy orthodox faith. I feel the most horrid disease we suffer from is not bodily, not the coronavirus or any other but the "european spirit" that st. Paisios was talking about.. thats why it feels very encouraging to hear these plain, truly orthodox teachings that are anchored to the holy fathers.
Thank you Fr. Loved this interview! Still praying that God sends a spiritual Fr. my way. I’m not worthy of it but my soul can certainly benefit in these trying times of confusion and lack of direction. Gods grace be upon your mission. Please pray for us. 🙏

The faithful should know what to believe both the ethos and the dogma. A discerning spiritual Father is needed and he should live the apostolic life (an imitation of the life of the apostles) - live in poverty and in meekness and noetic prayer. We need to search for this good spiritual father - this proper doctor for our soul. Travel miles many miles to find him. We can telephone this blessed spiritual Father (Saint Porfyrios did just this) - Saint Kosmas said there will come a time that we will have to travel miles and miles to find this priest. May God truly help us all be blessed with this doctor for our soul ☦️🙏😔 Thank you dear Fathers for the counsel to help us consider many things and to self reflect upon.
What is one supposed to believe when your priest ask you do you have a spiritual Father? when all you were trying to do was communicate with him! I was actually showing him a video from you when he asked me that! My Priest is Orthodox by the way.... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR GUIDANCE THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!
Having been a Catechumen for almost three years now, I can understand in hindsight why they try and baptize an inquirer so quickly. If you do not participate in the first work required to gain a basic level of reform, you are likely then completely at their (the apostates) mercy.
This was SO VALUABLE. I was finally able to sit and get through the whole interview. This says it's part 2 though. I can't figure it out, but which video is part 1?
Thank you Father Peter. I've been praying for a spiritual father. I do feel I'm being healed through weekly confession and communion in my parish. I do feel the effects of the prayers of my priest and I do see the fruits of a spiritual life in others in my parish. Even so, there are big questions that I need guidance on and I don't know who to go to for help and I have been praying for and waiting for a spiritual father. In the meantime, while I wait, what does the church say about praying to a saint and reading his writings for spiritual direction? Can one of the saints be our spiritual father?
@@OrthodoxEthos I live near a monastery. Maybe there's someone there who could be my spiritual father, but I wouldn't begin to know how to find that out or how to get to know any of the monks there. I'll keep praying about it but if you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them :)
What about priests who give ekonomia to those who commited grave sins and can still be ordained priests? Is this giving of ekonomia a bad thing? Is it practiced a lot?
He does not teach the Orthodox Way of trust, self-control, and asceticism. Onanism (throwing the seed out (profylax)) is severally condemned by the Lord in the relevant case in the First Testament. Abortifacients are, of course, condemned (this includes “the pill”). Perverting God’s design, avoiding trust in His providence, tweaking our nature to serve our passions and avoid fruit-bearing is not a spiritual way of being but fleshly. Is trust in God present in this “birth controlling” way of being in communion - if one can call it communion, since the union in the fruit which is the child is avoided.
7:13 Ohh I used to think this is blasphemy. I think I will ask for confession by telephone now too cause I can't go anywhere no one has time. 15:31🖒 24:24 Oh wow
Does this Father take confessions over the phone from Australia, since our state(Victoria) is in lockdown and we have no way of going anywhere to find a good spiritual father? Or does anyone know of a good spiritual father in Melbourne Australia?

Τις ευχες σας πρωτα ζητω συγνωμη πολύ θα ήθελα να ρωτήσω δεν ειναι για να κρινω πως γίνεται η μαλλον πως επιτρέπεται να εχουμεν Ιερείς με τα σεβασμια γενια και μακρια μαλια και αλλους με φρεσκοκουρεμενα μαλια και τα γενια τους σαν μοντελο πως συκρινεται αυτο τι προσπαθουμεν να αποδείξουμε στην Κοινωνία προχωρούμε προς την ένωση με παπικους προτεσταντες και αλλους πως το βλέπεται και παλι συγνωμη η ορθοδοξία ειναι τιμη μας Παναγιά μου δωσε φώτιση και συχωρεσε μας η ορθοδοξία καταπολεμητε απο ολες τις πλευρές κυριε ελέησον μας και δωσε φώτιση του κοσμου και εμας τους αμαρτωλούς
Το πνευμα της εκκοσμικευσης εχει μπει για τα καλα σε κληρο και λαο. Οι δαιμονες της κενοδοξιας, της γαστριμαργιας και με μια λεξη η φιλαυτια κυβερνα αυτους που θα επρεπε να μας δινουν τα Χριστιανικα προτυπα ζωης. Ο π Σαββας ειναι ενας απο τους ελαχιστοτατους ασκητικους και ορθοδοξους ιεραρχες. Ας τον ακουμε ολοι μας με ευλαβεια και προσοχη.Γιατι ειναι οπως τα διαμαντια, πολυτιμος και σπανιος. Την ευχη του να εχουμε.
