  • Fr. Moses tells about his life before being a monk, and he tells about the obstacles that he faced, and how he was ordained as a monk in a very young age! Watch Fr. Moses the Monk from the Eastern Orthodox Church; the Russian tradition only on CYC

    After years I am watching this video again. It never gets old, rather stays pure and fresh as always. A strange sense of peace and inspiration I receive every time. May Allah bless you. I wish I could find more videos/writeup from you. But I suppose I understand. My prayers for you Fr. Moses.

    What a blessed and hopefully sanctified being. I love this channel - and am Muslim, too - please keep up the good work. We need more of this in the world (I adore the videos of Fr Lazarus) - that is, examples of people seeking the Divine, following an actual tradition, and showing compassion to all of creation. May Fr Moses be elevated to the loftiest of ranks by the Almighty.

    A very honest, simple and humble young man. I pray that in all of our churches we can find such young men and women with such a spirit as he has.
    Fr Moses mentioned Fr Lazarus El Anthony, as one who inspired him through watching his videos. I can also testify to the fact that Fr Lazarus has been like a 'spiritual guide' to me. May God bless these men, who have sacrificed their entire lives to the service of God.
    Towards the end of this video my eyes filled with tears as I listened to this young priest quietly pleading for us to live a holy life. He likened the believer's life to that of being in a womb...what a wonderful example of keeping ourselves protected from 'the world's temptations"!
    As members of the Body of Christ, we need to remember the monastics (both men and women) in our prayers. Glory be to God! Amen

    People like father Moses are a bastion of hope, an inspiration to us who are battered and scar filled by the battle with the world. God bless the new generation which will hold the banner of Christendom high. Also it's so good to see that the message of father Lazarus Al-Anthony inspired not only myself, but also father Moses and various people who spoke about his message in the comments. God bless father Lazarus, i would not doubt that i'm speaking about a future saint of the Orthodox Faith; if that ever happens he will be my patron saint!

      Contact an Orthodox priest where you live. First and foremost: you must be a genuine convert to the Orthodox faith. If you haven't spoken to a priest and got the ball rolling on conversion: do it today. Don't delay! If you already are a convert: forgive my zeal. I'm very passionate about Holy Orthodoxy.

    Good luck to you getting the Greeks on Mt. Athos to open up the door to you. I'm Orthodox, I had an MTh and some Greek, but because I'm Anglo-Saxon they were very racist to me and Every Athos monastery said: "No, we accept Greeks". It broke me and now I'm in limbo. I keep praying that a Monastery will open up its doors and life of sanctification. Amin!

    The music is unGodly and inappropriate, we are not of the world and therefore playing secular music which is demonic is to be avoided. There is plenty of options from the vast treasury of church music to choose from. Also pausing the monologue for a music ruins the inspiration from this man of God

    • @rsissel1
      @rsissel1 5 лет назад +4

      A statement without a reason behind it or understanding the point of Orthodox monasticism. I'll back up both points, so you can see how it's done. 1. Your statement lacks any reason why missions or a church plant is better than monasticism. 2. Orthodox monasticism has as one of its goals to pray for the world. Another goal is to be a temporary refuge for Christians living in the world. These are needed along with missions and church planting. Even Protestants have retreats for people to spiritually recharge.

      Jesus was a radical. He lived like a monk. In the end, you can only become enlightened yourself. Helping others is fantastic, but it cannot be the be-all, end-all of existence. You must take care of your own spiritual garden. Your witness through solitude in the monastic life is changing the world's karma through your radical "divorce" from the world and all its empty pleasures. Evangelization as is understood by many Protestant denominations cannot do this. That's all "clinging to the world proclaiming Jesus." Sorry, but it does not work that way. Peace to you.

    • @ontologicallysteve7765
      @ontologicallysteve7765 5 лет назад +5

      Of course, by "evangelization" and "starting a church" you must mean starting *yet another* protestant sect that claims to go by "the bible alone" -------but separates itself from the other 32,000 *other* sects who *also* make that claim.
      Yeah, that's *exactly* what the world needs. This madness is the logical end of Luther's reformation-----and Holy Orthodoxy is the only remedy.
