[cozanostraful]

adevaratii Hoti ai Romaniei astea sunt .

@cozanostraful

Dragul meu, dar limba asta romana cu ce ti-a gresit?

[ASignOfContradiction]

Wow, the wisdom of the Elder really blew me away, especially his reminder that love, true love, is sacrificial, a dying to self, an emptying out of selfish and self-centered desires. And his use of the miracle of the storm at sea and the fear of the apostles resonates very deeply with me. How often I seek the kingdom and the crown, but flee the cross. Thanks for posting. What a great man!

[gnawaserge]

All the stuff the second monk said though semed highly inspired by man and not by the Holy spirit

[ioancasian]

@gnawaserge

hmmm, second monk? where? watch again, there is only Elder Arsenie. Not much in common with protestantism I'm afraid...

[gnawaserge]

Wow i am fascinated by the knowledge this mok has. So far up to minute three. It is right on dot with every deep thing i have learned in my Evangelical protestant Reformation inspired faith! this is deep

[maxavail]

Our Blessed Father Arsenie has gone to the Lord ! REJOICE my brothers, rejoice for our dear father, for he has finally found reward for his many, many sufferings and persecutions in the name of Christ ! May his gentle soul find rest in the arms of the Lord whom he loved more than life itself. Amen !

[Badwolf182]

I really need to hera that lately. I think struggle is exactly what he says. If a chrysalis doesnt struggle and someone releases him of it, they die. If the natural struggle is allowed to take place a beautiful butterfly emerges. Struggle is part of our salvation.EVERYTHING he says here is so important to understand.

ALso when we lack God, we lack self identity and whyen we lack identity we lack meaning/purpose in life. God Bless for the post and the priest :)

[Badwolf182]

Thanx for the subtitles otherwise wisdom like this would be lost - these are very powerful words indeed.

[ioancasian]

@sunflower1977able

Va multumim si noi pentru cuvintele frumoase. Cea mai mare bucurie este cand cineva se foloseste de aceasta munca.

Doamne ajuta

[sunflower1977able]

Sa va dea Dumnezeu sanatate Parinte si sa va binecuvinteze zilele ramase de trait. Sunteti un mare invatator si multe invataminte putem trage din cuvintele dvs. DUMNEZEU SA VA BINECUVINTEZE!

[khalidshab]

Go bless millions blessing to those who made the videos and posted the same.

[maxavail]

spre sfarsit, e o mica greseala la subtitrare, expresia "you are a microcosm reflecting a macrocosm, the whole world" apare de doua ori, prima data pentru a traduce expresia "trebuie sa ajungi sa te cunosti pe tine cu orice chip", ceea ce, evident, e o eroare. Daca ai putea sa o remediezi, ar fi bine ;)

[ioancasian]

@maxavail

Ai dreptate, din pacate ca s-o corectez trebuie sa sterg filmul si apoi sa-l reincarc... Asa ca-l las asa. Multumesc oricum,

Doamne ajuta

[maxavail]

@ioancasian nu e nevoie, poti sa editezi direct versiunea deja existenta, pui niste Annotations pe portiunea de ecran la minutul potrivit...uita-te prin setari ca o sa gasesti ce trebuie :)

[theunknownmystic]

Blessings to all the Fathers for such valuable lessons. The Spirit is very strong in you and I bow down before your wisdom. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. In Christ.

[brothergew]

thank you for the great words of god

[mishakol129]

whoever is translating these greatly knowledgable elders, keep up the good work.

Thank You

We need more of these for ignorant orthodox like me.

God bless

[ioancasian]

Many thanks for your kind words, I'll forward it to the team.

In Christ

[upinhere7]

Great video of this holy father! Thank you for posting!

[fromromaniawitlov]

created god? sounds like a heresy..

[ioancasian]

God is uncreated. Man is created in God's image, after God's likeness:

"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness"

Hence created god. No heresy...

[jesustheexorcist]

Wow, what words of Wisdom! Iam convinced these words are from the Holy Spirit. Man is a created God...what Truth!

[Crate97]

Thank you dear brother, for the video and translation; words cannot describe the spiritual joy these bring to me, esp. in times of struggle! Thank you again.

[ioancasian]

You're very welcome brother! The fact that people benefit from these videos is the best thank you I could get.

In Christ

[jcsorez]

ioncasian I don't know how to thank you for sharing the tremendous spiritual force that comes from these talks.

[ioancasian]

Just mention me in your prayers so I can make more available :-)

In Christ

Vivat !

[LegArhMih]

După Cuvântul lui Dumnezeu, Crucea nu este de ruşine ci de laudă. Iar sectanţii care au propovăduit minciunile împotriva Crucii lui Hristos vor fii sortiti pieirii:

"Mulţi, despre care v-am vorbit adeseori, iar acum vă spun şi plângând, se poartă ca ---duşmani ai crucii lui Hristos---. Sfârşitul acestora este pieirea." (Filipeni 3.18-19)

[LegArhMih]

Numai pe cruce!

Sfînta Evanghelie ne spune că la plinirea vremii, înainte de înfricoşata Judecată de apoi, se va arăta--- Sfînta Cruce --venind pe norii cerului, cum citim: "Atunci se va arăta pe cer ---semnul Fiului Omului ---şi vor plînge toate neamurile pămîntului şi vor vedea pe Fiul Omului venind pe norii cerului cu putere şi cu slavă multă (Matei 24, 30).

[balancex3]

indeed some of the best words I've heard. Its very interesting to see this type of viewpoint presented this way. God bless him and you for sharing! Glory to Christ!

[ioancasian]

True. May God grant us his strength, patience and wisdom for the difficult times that seem to be upon us.

In Christ
