When I began physical and mental suffering many years ago, I was already praying, but turned to Christ even more and asked the Blessed Mother of God for assistance every day (nowadays, I also ask St. Joseph for help.) I also went to confession more frequently. Through suffering, which is a cross to bear, and letting Christ use my suffering to save souls, I’ve grown with increasing love for Jesus. Suffering is a mystery, but at the same it can be used to detach oneself from the things of this world and draw closer to Christ. One must not ask “why” is suffering happening. I find there is no answer to that question. Better to ask, what must I do. And remember that Jesus also suffered on the cross! His suffering was redemptive. Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me a poor and weak sinner.

We’re not weak we are fallen. The strength is within us all and the Lord is the answer to bring out that strength in our lives. His will and not of our own will bring us to peace through suffering. I wish I understood that many many years ago. But everything is in god’s plan so I don’t look back in disappointment anymore. All in God’s perfect timing will his work be done within us!

You have a very shallow mind when it comes to understanding language. The Bible was written thousands of years ago and interpreted from ancient Hebrew, Greek, and other language. The term "Father" in English is not used in a worshiping manor when addressing a priest. Catholics understand the difference between a Church Father and our "Holy Heavenly Father" Protestants use language as a weapon to attack fellow Christians. May God forgive us ALL of our sins and bring us to everlasting life, Amen. @@johanneshartman4618

My husband and I are trying to get out of the UK as it is becoming worse and worse here for Christians. People are being arrested for street preaching, bibles are taken out of schools and the churches are fallen. Children as young as 9 are being 'taught' explicit sexual things IN SCHOOLS, and sodomy taught to boys. We want to move to Greece where we feel the Christian faith is very strong, especially on some of the islands. Islam is completely taking over the country, and crimes by Muslims are going unpunished and becoming rife. If you speak out, you are accused of being racist, but it's only truth. We pray for the Lord to help us leave this country. God bless and thank you.

Sorry Jane. I speak as a Greek from Cyprus, and can say with certainty that you will be sorely disappointed if you think Greece is any better than the UK. In many respects, it is far worse. Nominally Orthodox, but in reality apostasy is rife. The government there, as here in Cyprus is controlled by the Americans and the same depraved spirit infects every aspect of life. If you are looking for a place that still retains a soul and any semblance of what was once 'normal', then the only place to look is to Russia - as hard a pill as that may be for you British to swallow.

Father bless, I’ve had the same feeling lately as the young monastic who in his grief and confusion was tempted to leave the holy life. My only son and oldest child age 23, who was very dear to me, died in a car accident four months ago. Knowing that God allowed it to happen after a lifetime of trying (repeatedly and often failing) to follow Him shook my faith. That the car accident happened two days after my youngest was born (and the very night our newborn was airlifted for emergency surgery for an unrelated medical issue) has left me beyond hurt and confused. My son was not perfect, he struggled with sin like me. He wanted what was good and right and often pleased us with his genuine love of God and pursuit of good things. But sometimes, like his parents, he missed the mark. Our last six weeks together were very troubled. In shame he confessed that he too was expecting a baby. He was not married but was trying to repent and salvage what he could. After four months I’ve come to the very conclusions you outlined in your video. I cannot judge God’s ways. I have to try to make peace living the rest of my life without our beautiful boy, and accept the great pain our family is in, while continuing to struggle against sin. We pray continually for the son and brother we miss terribly, hoping that in God’s eyes our dear departed one is more akin to the monk than the harlot (though we did give him as beautiful a funeral as possible). God have mercy on us. Of your charity, Father Spyridon and brothers and sisters in Christ, please pray for the departed servant of God, Jack, known in the church as John (patron John the theologian).

This hits so hard, Fr. Spyridon. I am a sinner, and by the grace of God, I continue to live in repentance. I think about the monk in the cave and pray that I could be so blessed for my life to end prepared to enter God's kingdom even if it is a horrific death. I recognize that the sins of my past are barring the way forward in one area of my life. I put those bars there, and I cannot ask for any man to take them down and allow me to walk through them. As much as my heart grieves what I could have had, I accept that this is where I am. It is my path to salvation, and I am blessed for it as humble as it is. Thank you for sharing this beautiful but incredibly difficult message. ☦

"When we look at ourselves and we see anger, we see frustration and fear about the way things are happening in our lives and in the world around us, we must take them as a sign that our hearts are not truly trusting God, that we don't fully trust and have faith in the Providence of God, we don't yet fully believe that out lives are completely and utterly in the hands of God. We may perceive chaos at times, but our lives are utterly in the hands of God, every moment, every person that we encounter, everything that we hear and see, God permits, our lives are utterly in the hands of God."

Are you Eastern Orthodox? We must humble ourselves. It's pride that keeps us from trusting God.

Father. Some people have a really really harsh time. Some struggle to even survive while others have it all. So I understand if someone in that position gets frustrated. I personally know men over 35 years old who have never been hugged and live in solitude. Imagine that. How can they love God that they don't see when they haven't learned to love the ones that they can see. It's cruel

@@johanneshartman4618 The Holy Bible is a whole, well connected and coherent text not just a random collection of verses and citations. Cherry picking and proof-texting while overlooking the context is a very dangerous approach. So my advice to you is "Don't be literal and legalistic". You know very well that it has nothing to do with idolatry. It's a title. Otherwise, you wouldn't even call your earthly father with such a title, or your 4th grade teacher as teacher, or your president as "leader". That's why protestants will never be able to fully understand Christ and christianity.

I would like to tell you about the best dream I've ever had. It is also the most clear, coherent, chronological and story driven dream I've ever had; most are strange and the scenes shift like a fun-house. I think the whole of it is cool but if you just wanna get to the point read the last two paragraphs. The whole dream was kinda similar to the first Jurassic Park movie's plot. There was a relatively small island which was entirely uncivilized except for the presence of one sprawling ultra high class hotel/resort on the coast of the northernmost part of the island. I was part of a team of 10 people, kinda like mercenaries for hire but we weren't hired for war. We were more like the people a government goes to when they want to erase a problem while keeping it ultra top secret. Our goal was clear but I can only guess that this is why the island was in the state it was: The island was full of grotesque but deadly creatures. I surmised that the island was to be used as a vacation spot for the globes richest, and the creatures were meant to be the main attraction. I don't think they were so deadly and malformed in the beginning, something went wrong with the genetic splicing I guess. Our goal was simply to document the creatures and flesh samples from them with technology that made a strange amount of sense considering I'm no engineer, either way we had the capability to do so but no guns to defend ourselves as we were now allowed to kill any of them. We also had ways of communicating with each other, and a small base of operations on the island which we would send data to. There was also a kind of "force field" surrounding the island which kept any form of data like radio signals from leaving or entering the island. Ahh this isn't the main point of me telling the story so I'll hurry up. As we were all separately doing our work on different parts of the island with one member manning the base, seven of us in the field suddenly died, all within a few minutes. Me and one other scout remained, we made our way back to the base asap and we were told by the person manning it that there was traffic on our network. Something was attempting to grab the data from it. Me and the other scout went to the resort. Eventually we find the source and destroy it with a localized EMP device thingy, it was within a television in one of the resort's penthouses. We hear people running to the room, two men come in with guns and are very annoyed. They say nothing but come with us. They take us outside, still in the resort. One is typing on a device and the other makes small talk with us. I know they are going to ask us questions then we will be killed. My first thought was that I would rather die fighting, or even just try to run, anything but let them have it their way. Even if I do manage to escape I will be killed by whoever hired us, these people could be working for the employers. But just after thinking so I felt a bit ashamed and had an even better idea. I let them do their questioning, didn't have the answers they wanted of course. They stood up obviously ready to point their weapons and fire, I look in their eyes and said with genuine joy and a smile "I know you will kill us now but I forgive you, and I hope you can ask and allow God to forgive you for this, and whatever else you might have done, so that I might see you again in God's Kingdom. We can talk about how weird this island is" and was promptly shot. I don't know if I would do that in my waking life but it made me feel more confident in my steadfastness. Dreams are strange, you might do things in them that your more restrained wakeful mind would never do. Either way in that moment I really believed I would die and I find comfort that I decided to use my death to testify God's mercy instead of trying to fight a losing battle for my pride or whatever.
