A moment of Grace

At times, we experience moments of grace, when words and logical 'teaching' become irrelevant. In these moments, one feels as if knowledge of God's Love is absorbed through one's skin, and prayer is a simple and natural act, which happens almost by itself, like breathing or seeing. Silent prayer, prayer alone, prayer in the forest are all ways to open to an experience of grace through prayer.

Thank you, Father, for sharing with us the moments of grace with which God blesses your life and heart! Indeed, Grace makes us want to give everyone that joy in our hearts, to share with everyone from the Inexhaustible spring of joy and love. May our Lord and Savior put you in a safe place from any harm from the enemy, so that you may be a mirror of the Master, of the Lover of men, Christ Himself!

The feeling of Grace is like no other. It consumes your entire being and you can’t bare but burst into tears because at that moment you realize just how much God loves you. It feels to make like the blind man who Jesus heals. When you feel Grace your spiritual eyes open, just for a few moments, and you see the truth, the love, and the Joy, awaiting for those who love Christ. Our God is so good. Jesus, glorify your name!

Christ is in our midst: ! His Love is energizing us all around us: "swim in His grace" as our dear Brother Seraphim urges us! This is the Love of Christ energizing us (Ephesians 1) and keeping us from all Evils and the evil one's memories or any other weapon formed against us ! We keep our dear Brother in our prayers to encourage him by the "comfort with which we are comforted in Christ" as St Paul tells us! Amen!

Thank you Dear Father for sharing your precious heart with us. The first time that I felt this Grace of God was when I was maybe 4 or 5 years old. I was laying in my Grandmothers yard and gazing at the evening sky. I felt a deep connection and presence and I instinctively knew that it was God revealing His Divine connection to me from a heavenly place. I wanted that feeling to go on forever. It was so beautiful that at age 57 I still remember that peace being so overwhelming that I was frozen in a state of utter bliss.

That moment when we disconnect and allow the grace of God to wash over us. "Be still and know that I am God" is my favorite Scripture. I remind myself of it often. You are a blessing to us!

I feel like when I listen to you, my better half is speaking directly to me. When I hear your words they make me miss you so much more, even though I’ve never met you. I feel so in tune and eager to hear someone else enjoys life the same way that I do and experiences the same kind of pain and struggle I do. There must be more to it than that. I am finding it so hard to understand. I just saw a video from you for the first time a few days ago and it’s like presents falling from heaven to see them. Maybe this is too strange, but I was just describing to my husband that you are that person who you are describing in your video just yesterday.

Thank you for sharing your walk through the beautiful forest. There is a spiritual presence in the book of nature that is beyond words. Words often just get in the way and lead from the heart back to the head. This walk reminded me of the many times I just sat on my balcony watching the leaves dance to the songs of the wind. Sometimes the lorikeets would come for some grapes, and a kookaburra would let me stroke his back and sit with me awhile before taking flight again. This was definitely grace. We sometimes seem to forget that all of creation is the body of Christ. This time last year, the bush fires started and raged for many months. It was heartbreaking. The trees bear an uncanny resemblance to our lungs; they are the earth’s lungs and the earth needs them to breathe, as do we. Our love must include the earth and all of its creatures. You are absolutely right; salvation is not found alone, but only together.

Thank you for sharing this Fr. Seraphim. It reminds me of my time living in Colorado and sitting on a jutting rock overlooking a river and the mountains. There were small lizards that lived around there and one would come out every Sunday and sit with me. I always felt at peace sitting there among the majestic trees and taking in God’s creation. We are blessed whether we want to see it or not...”He is everywhere present and fillest all things.”

Don't know if youll ever read this Father Seraphim, but in a quite holy way I was able to get your wosdom love and direction. And so I thought prayerfully this was the Holy Spirit working through you to help me in my great pain. And I have been leaning into my cruciform way of life. Ive never had to fight my own weaknesses in the way i am now using the spiritual tools and weapons and armor. But it takes so much surrender. And then I rebel. Repent. And go off to my room to cry out to the Lord and pray for the grace to surrender. And repent. You've been a great help to me. Thanks be to God!
