    I’m a new convert to Orthodoxy. I’m so happy that the Holy Spirit guided me to the true church. I must admit that the more I learn about the Church Fathers, the Saints, those who have died for the the faith, the more unworthy I feel. I am so ashamed of my sins and ashamed when I fall back into sin. I know I am a fallen creature but I want to be stronger in the face of the attacks of the devil on my mind and body. I feel that this battle will persist for the rest of my life.

    Best sermon I have ever heard and at the right time by the power of Christ, thankyou brother if I may say that.
  • Thank you Holy Father. May our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ continue to bless your mouth to speak these words of truth and life. Pray me for an unworthy sinner who is only worthy of death and hell.
  • I am a Roman Catholic, I go to Novus Ordo.When listening to these, I feel so much peace and understanding and joy it is like finding a missing link. Definitely led by the holy spirit to these messages. The Lord says seek,and you shall find,knock and the door shall be opened,ask and you shall receive.

    We live in a time of darkness and deceit - as all men who came before us did. But, communications technology is also used by holy men and women to reach souls who need this message.
  • Holy Master bless Thank you your Grace for your words of love and hope. Such an important time for this teaching of the salvation of our souls. Time really does feel that it is running out for more chances to make it right. Your understanding of reaching out to your flock , is very heart felt. Thank you so much for your prayers and love for God’s church. In Christ Elizabeth C.

    I found my true self in the scriptures. Christ is our heart and true self for it is God in us working for His good pleasure revealing His Son in us. He that descended is the very same that ascended above the heavenly places and filled all things. The first man is of the earth and the second man is the Lord from heaven. Thank you father for teaching the truth. The Lord walks among his people. When the Lord returns will he find faith in the earth?
