Ιωσήφ γέροντας του Αθωνα Elder Joseph of Vatopedi

[magicful21]

For god sake, ancient Greece has nothing to do with Orthodox church, have can you be so ignorent. Why is this man crying anyway. I don't understand greek unfortunately.

[OrthodoxVideos]

Unfortunattly, Joseph and Vatopedi are now in apostasy and heresy because they are under the patriarch. Esphigmenou is the only and last bastion of Orthodoxy on Mount Athos.

[StopMoColorado]

@OrthodoxVideos Have you no respect for the Canons? The Patriarch, whether he be virtuous or not, is still the Patriarch. He is no Pope. Having a dialogue with Rome, or whomever, is not the same as taking communion with them. Those who insist on swearing by Calendars and human-loyalties rather than living in humility and the true Gospel, THEY are the heretics. Picking and choosing Canons - this is the definition of Heresy. Hearing this baloney about the Patriarch gets old. Calendars don't save.

MASTERPIECE!!!! must be seen from any people, any kind

[gullf1sk]

Hahaha

[zakharii]

He smiled for 45 minutes after his death and prophesied a terrible war to come...

THANK YOU for translating this in the "more info" section!

[Daiuzarneim]

wonderful! thanks for translation! God bless you

[nijjhar1]

Hi,

Why he is putting on this black robe of hypocrisy? In Jesus, what comes out of one's mouth should make sense or Gospel Truth. Does he know the number of Jews who died during the holocausts? If so, then tell me Matt.13.v24-30, who are tares and where they are bundled up? These robes demanding honour from common man are worse than those of the Rabbi. I have seen these Blind guides in Cluj where they know nothing else than prayers and these cloaked people, paid in money as their salaries.

[gzyyy6]

he crys for keeping truth locked up in this house if dedicated to the mother why are woman kept out God bless

[panayi1954]

"I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours."

"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful."

[SpiritofGod100]

Turks:

Be careful of what you say. You don't have a right to make slanderous comments. If you want a fight just walk into a Greek cafe in Brooklyn and I am sure you won't walk out with both your legs attached to your body!!! Take your Muslim dog asses somewhere else!

[TrueSaintsLDS]

The Orthodox and RCC have no authority from God. It was killed off in the 1st century.

[jjonad]

not impossible but I think all open war between turkey and greece is very very unlikely. It is the most crazy thing to happen in any case

Αγιος Γέροντας. Είδατε τήν φωτογραφία απο την κοίμησή του? Γελάει και φεγγοβολά.

Τήν ευχή σου Γέροντα

[Scootersg4]

Ναι την ειδα:-)Αυτο ειναι που λεμε κοιμηθηκε εν ειρηνη!

[ropaliaris]

Κοιμήθηκε ο γέροντας, κρίμα που είμαστε τόσο κοσμικοί, ώστε να χάνουμε τόσο άξιους πνευματικούς και να μην τους γνωρίζουμε! Τουλάχιστον έχουμε τα κυρήγματα τους.

[gatoulis25]

συχωρεθηκε ο παπα-ιωσηφ σημερα ! την ευχη του να εχουμε και να ευχεται για μας απο κει πανω !!!

[ugrozenavrsta]

Is there any chance for translation?

[carlofai]

I would like to know Elder Joseph have prophecied several years ago that the Third World War shall start in region between Turkey and Greece. Please pray that this will not happen to human kind.

I love where the Elder says that although his memory is failing him, he stills remembers to pray. We will all grow old one day and perhaps our minds will fail us. I pray that I will have Christ in my heart and on my mind when I am as old as this wonderful Elder.

In Christ, God bless.

[Nedim76]

You would have Christ in your mind but what about God himself??? He wont be in your mind?

[mireloula]

Christ IS God!

[crististelistu]

Christ is God himself, my friend!!!!!!!! that's the basis of Christianity!!

[Nedim76]

I understand that my friend and i agree with you as far as the Christian belief goes, nothing against it but what i dont understand is that even Christ himself in the Christian Bible never says I AM GOD! Only refers to FATHER, with the power of MY FATHER, in my FATHERS name...speaking of a second/thrid person...me speaking of you as my FATHER or BROTHER can never make us EQUAL...

[crististelistu]

God is one being in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. This is the Holy Trinity. The Son was born from the Father before all time (and not made by the Father- he is not his creation but his Son) and the Holy Ghost proceeded from the Father before all time and is present in the Son. Jesus Christ is called by the Father his Son when Christ is baptised by John the Baptist (Mathew 3, 17; Mark 1, 11; Luke 3, 22) God bless you!

[amaterasutenno]

I'm a christian; still confused with Trinitarian concept!

Explain to me, dear brethren. if you can't explain to me due to time constraint, atleast please give me a free online resource where I could take my own time to learn about it!

Thank You!

[godfather89]

It is a mystery not meant to be rationally apprehended. It is a mystery, Imagine one being with 3 distinct expressions. The Expression of The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit.

[Phil0kalia]

Thank you -- please translate more if you are able.

About the Elder:

Elder Joseph of Vatopedi lives in the Vatopedi Monastery in Mount Athos. He put himself under obedience to the virtuous Elder Joseph the Hesychast, one of the holiest Elders of our century that revived spiritual life in Mount Athos according to the teachings of the Holy Fathers of the Orthodox Church.

[kafasis07]

We stand by the meaning of comprehensive assiduity: We do not succumb to anything that's prohibited in our life.

[kafasis07]

the first beginning is the Jesus prayer, the unceasing Jesus prayer, that should never stop, after the unceasing Jesus prayer, humility and obedience come. After humility and obedience, the comprehensive assiduity comes. And then, the person learns how to resist to the various excuses of the false needs: to succumb to concupiscence and egoism.

[kafasis07]

She gave us the ability to write, to write with details the whole terminology of the Holy Fathers. Have consolation in the continuous future. All these, and I kindly invoke your love, your kindness, to accept them with humility and obedience, to continue your path with self-denial, and comprehensive assiduity. The first beginning is obedience, after obedience,

[kafasis07]

He gave me the keys of Vatopedi. And, I used these keys to open Vatopedi and what you see now took place. God-Logos Himself came, His affectionate Mother came, His Mother, our Mother, our consolation, and She spiritually renewed Vatopedi. And She put us on the path of the terminοlogy of the Holy Fathers. I'm not denying anything.

[kafasis07]

made me wear these cassocks, I beg you All-Good God! Don't abandon me! Help! You called me and you brought me here and you gave me the keys of the Vatopedi Monastery. You, Yourself! The Son of the Living God! When I was begging Him to show me His will through Elder Porfyrios, He talked to me. Himself! God-Logos (Word)!

[kafasis07]

And if I did not manage, don't misunderstand me, because my memory has been weakening. It doesn't keep anything. However, I don't stop praying. This, I promise to you. Due to the fact that I can't offer you anything else, and you do good to me, I pray whenever I'm free and all by myself. I'm not bragging. I'm not boasting. But, I confess to you. I insist, though many times with laudable audacity: All-Good God, I beg you! You attracted me, you

[kafasis07]

Here is the English translation of this wonderful sermon of this Holy Elder from theVatopedi Monastery:

[GALADRIAH12]

Gia pious milas?

[OlgaAth]

η πίστη μερικών ανθρώπων -αγίων μάλλον- ακτινοβολεί στο προόσωπό τους!

[thkalas]

Ελπίζω κάποια στιγμή να το καταλάβεις και να σταματήσεις να τρέφεις μάταιες ελπίδες όπως τώρα.Στο κάτω κάτω όποιος έχει τη μύγα μυγιάζεται . Και τη μύγα την έχουνε οι εχθροί του Χριστού , όχι οι φίλοι του , και γι'αυτό τρώνε καθημερινώς τα λυσσακά τους.

[thkalas]

Ατρειδη Σεραπειε,όπως τελως παντων σε λένε,όπως βλέπεις ο vfilip σε άδειασε τελείως στην συκοφαντική σου επίθεση κ'διαστρέβλωση των λόγων του γέροντα Ιωσήφ.Η ορθοδοξία βάλλεται εδώ κ'2 χιλιάδες χρόνια κ'θα συνεχίζει να βάλλεται μέχρι το τέλος του κόσμου.Εσύ δηλαδή δεν είσαι τίποτα άλλο από ένας πολέμιος της ορθοδοξίας σαν αυτούς που έχουνε έλθει και έχουν παρέλθει στη διάρκεια της ιστορίας.Το θέμα είναι,ότι όσο και να παλεύετε όλοι εσείς οι εχθροί του Χριστού,δε θα καταφέρετε τίποτα στο τέλος.

[AtreidisSerapeios]

Σύμφωνα με τα λεγόμενα αυτού, αλλά και τα λεγόμενα του "μέγα" Βασιλείου εκ στόματος γέροντα Κλεόπα εδώ :watch?v=v6iz7A95QsI ,

αυτές τις αρετές πρέπει να επιδιώκουμε : υπακοή, ταπείνωση, φόβο θεού και φόβο θανάτου.

Εύγε! Ένα από τα καλλίτερα μοντέλα υποταγής των ανθρώπων. Δούλευε καλά για αρκετούς αιώνες στον Μεσαίωνα. Εμπρός λοιπόν για εναν νέο σκοταδισμό.

[vfilip]

Την ταπείνωση μας την δίδαξε ο ίδιος ο Κύριος. Παράδεισος και ταπεινοφροσύνη πάνε μαζί . Η υπακοή αναφέρεται προς τους πνευματικούς μας πατέρες και ΟΧΙ προς τους κοσμικούς άρχοντες .

Ο φόβος Θεού είναι αρχή σοφίας . Αν έχεις φόβο Θεού ΔΕΝ αμαρτάνεις ! Διότι γνωρίζεις πολύ καλά ότι Ο Θεός σε βλέπει !

Η μνήμη θανάτου είναι για να θυμόμαστε ότι η επίγεια παρουσία μας έχει ένα τέλος . Πάμε σε μια κηδεία και τότε συνειδητοποιούμε ότι τα ματαιότης ματαιοτήτων τα πάντα ματαιότης .

[experiment83]

Το σκοταδι βρισκεται μεσα σου καημενε... γενηθηκες εσυ τον 20 ο αιωνα να κατργησεις αληθειες και εμπηρεια αιωνων...και ουτε μια μικρη αμφιβολια δεν εχεις βαλει μεσα σου δυστυχε, μηπως κανεις καποιο λαθος..μασας το παρμυθι του νεουσατανικου κοσμου που θελει να ισοπεδωσει την ψυχη μας και οτι πιο ομορφο εχουν δωσει οι πατερες μας. θα τριζουν τα κοκαλα τους απο την ασεβεια μας και το πνευματικο σκοταδισμο μας... ο Θεος να μας Φωτιζει ολους...

[Siriusastir]

What a great man! This is the Greek Orthodox Church! The word of Christos and Byzantium mixed and reborn with the greatness of Ancient Greece. These people are amazing, we can never reach them, but it's good to have them between us.

A brief summary: "Find consolation and have faith in the continous future. I please your love and kindness to continue your path with self-abnegation and "filoponia": To achieve "filoponia" first start with obbedience, after this start with perpetouous wish and then start with humbleness. Then you will be ready to "filoponia", never surrending to pain, pleasure and selfishness, never surrending to what is prohibited in our life "

[noustoU]

I wish so much I knew what he was saying. I feel like I can trust him, and that he is a real man of God. He must be a humble priest, full of love for people to speak on a video. Can someone tell a little about him please?
