I listen to this while I'm in the gym. The guys ask me where my strength comes from, and I say from the Holy Spirit. Poor things laugh as if I'm playing. They have no idea how serious I am being. Without God's grace I could not climb out of bed.
I thank you for your honesty. I am living as a hermit. No present music is pure enough to give to the LORD JESUS and to help us meditate on His beauty and love, suffering and forgiveness and goodness . This is the only music that I can listen to.. The world is going topsy turvy, The Lord has called you and is holding you tightly until the day of His return... Who will re-emberse everybody.. He loves you and told me to write this to your humble soul

"And the men said to Lot, Hast thou here sons-in-law, or sons or daughters, or if thou hast any other friend in the city, bring them out of this place. For we are going to destroy this place; for their cry has been raised up before the Lord, and the Lord has sent us to destroy it. And Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law who had married his daughters, and said, Rise up, and depart out of this place, for the Lord is about to destroy the city; but his sons-in-law took him to be joking." (Genesis 19,12-14) "Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness!" (Matthew 3,2-3) "And he cried in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, The judgment of the city has drawn nigh; and each had the Devices of Extermination in his hand... And he called the man that was clothed with the long robe, who had the girdle on his loins; And said to him, Go through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark on the foreheads of the men that groan and that grieve for all the iniquities that are done in the midst of them. And he said to the angels in my hearing, Go after him into the city, and smite: and let not your eyes spare, and have no mercy. Slay utterly old man and youth, and virgin, and infants, and women: but go ye not nigh any on whom is the mark: begin at my sanctuary. So they began with the elder men who were within in the house." (Ezekiel 9,1-6)
Truly there is nothing more beautiful than Orthodoxy! As a former protestant I can not thank God enough for showing me this Church! The One True Catholic and Apostolic Church!
Slava Bogu! Doxa tou Theou! Glory to God! i was formerly protestant (for 28+ years). i was baptized into the Holy Eastern Orthodox Church this Saturday (Dec 3rd). Orthodoxy is Beauty. Orthodoxy is Truth. Blessed be the Lord God who desires the salvation of all mankind, and the repentance of sinners, of whom i am first. please pray for me, your brother in Christ, Silouan.
Christ founded a visible society, the Church, which has the vocation to continue His mission and to gather all men in the truth until the end of time. Our Lord in fact said to Saint Peter, in the presence of the other Apostles: You are Peter (which means “Rock”), and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it (Mt 16:18). This Church is placed under the authority of the Apostles, who received a threefold mission from Jesus: - to teach: Go, and make disciples of all nations (Mt 28:19); he who hears you, hears Me; and he who rejects you, rejects Me; and he who rejects Me, rejects Him who sent Me, says Jesus (Lk 10:16). - to govern: Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound also in Heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed also in Heaven (Mt 18:18). - to sanctify, principally by means of the Sacraments: Baptize them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit (Mt 28:19); do this in memory of me (Lk 22:19). This Church is a monarchical society of which Saint Peter is the head. Jesus Christ said to this apostle alone: You are Peter (the Rock)... (Mt 16:18 - see above); I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail (...) strengthen your brethren (Lk 22:32); feed My sheep (Jn 21:17). The prerogatives of Saint Peter and the Apostles have passed to their successors, the Pope and the Bishops, according to the words that Jesus spoke to them: Behold, I am with you all days, even unto the consummation of the world (Mt 28:20). Only the Catholic Church preserves all these characteristic elements of the Church of Christ, and in the first place, submission to the Pope
@KING OF ALL TRADES You're going to have to provide adequate evidence and reasoning to back this claim that the RC dogma replaces the Holy Spirit with The Bishop of Rome. Since you've currently not provided any, your claim can be dismissed.
Unclean passions? God called for a new song, and king David answered with wild leaps and undignified worship and it pleased God. I don't think that was "unclean". Just because worship is monotonous or monotone I don't believe that makes it any better than more emphatic or energetic cries for God.
Liturgical worship, is different than King David leaping in Dance. Understand this, that the early Christians prayed and read the Psalter daily, Bishops even had the psalter memorized, as well as most Christians, and they had an ordered form of Worship. not chaotic dancing that modern day protestant have. you have to make distinctions as to where dancing and praying take place. you cannot mix, confuse and divide needlessly. There is distinctions to be made here because you dont dance in temples where God is present and descends, be awestricken, silent. Paul reminds us that every thing we do should be done in order. @@ECSH0315
@@manbad-xc1os David "shouted" during worship. Infact, the ancient Israelites were commanded to make a joyful "noise" to the Lord with shouts of praise. I think if the focus becomes "showing off your vocal cords" then God sees the heart and the intention isn't what it should be. But who are you to judge the intentions of a Christian who happens to sing in a different style than your traditional songs? I know many people who God has called out of darkness by reaching them using pop and rock sounds that happened to have His Word preached in it, and those people were saved. I believe God will use whatever means He wants to do what He wants. He isn't conc about the style or instrument.

(continued) Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. Were not Thy saints our intercessors, O Lord. In Thy goodness be merciful to us. How could we have dared, to praise thee, O Savior, Whom the angels glorify ceaselessly? O Thou who knowest the secrets of the heart, spare our souls. Both now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen. Greatly have mine iniquities multiplied, O Theotokos. Wherefore, I take refuge in thee, O pure one, seeking salvation. Visit mine afflicted soul, and intercede with thy Son our God to grant me forgiveness for the evil I have done, O thou only blessed one. O holy Theotokos, throughout my life forsake me not, O protectress of mankind; but help me and have mercy on me. In thee, O Mother of God, I place all my hope; keep me under thy protection.
Nothing seems strangely more beautiful than Russian monks singing in English. May the monks of Valaam pray not just for Russia, but for all people who love Christ, and above all those who wish for peace. Especially for Americans wanting such.
Please pray for me and for my husband Paul ( Anastasia and Paul Williams). I am hoping and praying to become orthodox please pray for our feet to be guided along the right path. Paul isn't quite ready to make a commitment to this but I feel sure my feet have been guided this way for almost 18 months. We don't have a church in this area I am watching a lot of livestream etc your prayers would be so welcome. I wish everyone a blessed and fruitful Great Lent.🛐☦️🕯️🙏
Lord have mercy! May God help you and your husband. I was in your shoes 2 years ago. Finding orthodoxy is the best thing I have ever done in my life. Even tough I was born orthodox I had abandoned the faith in my youth and have found it a couple of decades later. Orthodoxy is life. Orthodoxy is holiness. Orthodoxy is the kingdom of God. Welcome home!
please pray for the Coptic church in this hard time as the Egyptian army vehicles ran over and killed 25 Christian protesters who were protesting for the demolition of a church on the hand of Islamic terrorists the church is now fasting and praying for three days plzzzzz pray for us O Lord of hosts, be with us, for we have none other help, in times of adversity, but thee. O Lord of hosts, have mercy on us.
@@seronymus God our lord ended the persecution .... And the muslim brotherhood are now in jail ... the army leaders revolted against them .... Now we live in peace 🙏
I don't like leaving comments. But this particular chant has been a rock I lean on anytime anything seems to 'go south' in life. I'm almost immediately reoriented towards God, and make it through. I share almost anytime people ask for prayers over some hardship in their life as well. God Bless Valaam Monastery, now and ever and to ages of ages.
All of us who search for the true Christianity should turn their head, mind, heart and soul towards the Orthodoxy and do a little research about. The blessing and connection to Father, Son and Holly Spirit that comes through Orthodoxy is indescribably huge..there is no words.. it is the One absolute blessing, it is the true Christianity. and Salvation. It is the eye, heart and soul opening, it is the ultimate protection from evil, it is the ultimate GIFT from dear God to us humans. Once you decide to convert to orthodoxy, remember many temptations and uncomfortable events will follow you. Do not be afraid. God Bless. Thank to God. Former Roman Catholic
+Bii Bii Orthodox Christianity= Greco-Roman Catholic Christianity! A schismatic do not recognizing the Apostolic Roman Catholic Christian Church..is not Orthodox at all! Only those you recognize ALL the Apostolic Churches are true Orthodox!
+Cornelius Krissilas Why should the Orthodox Church be recognizing anything else than the decisions made on seven holy apostolic councils? It was the Roman-catholic church that changed some decisions adopted there. Filioque, pope's infallibility, inerrant birth of Mother of God from her parents. It was you who made yourselves gods on earth, not us. We stick firmly to our holy fathers that paved us this road to kingdom of heaven.
+Cornelius Krissilas Orthodxy for me is source of absolute truth and love and it is not about any conclusions, opinions, historical events, wisdom, control, desires, rules that are from this world. Stop for a second and open your mind and ears towards Orthodox Church and you might see
I'm not sure how I feel about "true" Christianity, as all Christians no matter what sect have something wrong with their beliefs, but I think also do have something right as well. We are imperfect sinful humans after all. I'm not Catholic nor Orthodox (and normally lump them together, though I understand there are a few differences) but I think there is something I can gain from both, though I come from a sub sub sub group of Protestants. I can only say I believe grace covers for what we do not know, and what ignorance we may have. It is nice to see other's point of view and reflect on how it fits into the bigger picture. While I do believe in absolute truth as well, I think the truth is far more simple than either of aspects of those religions (Catholic/Orthodox) makes it out to be, but judgement is not something I can do, for only God can judge, and his will, will be done. I continue to work out my salvation and I think God continues to see how people respond to him. I appreciate this music but felt compelled to say my peace on the matter before I left.
that is my same path. i'm italian and now also Orthodox. at the time i decided to give energy to search the real Cristianity, all sorts of bad things happened and are continuing to happen to me. Little and big bad things , that tries to makes you nervous and tries to get you out of focus, but with prayer and concentration on the Narrow Road, the earthly "powers" cannot harm us... Slava BOGU! Glory TO GOD!Gloria A DIO!
Orthodoxy is the only way. When we say we are the true church we mean it. We haven't changed and we've been worshipping for thousands of years. Not just over a 100 years or 200 years or even 300. Other denominations haven't found true salvation. They have not found the light. Our prayers come from the holy gospel and sometimes personal prayers from the heart. We've suffered through and survived conquest battles from evil Islam, we've survived communism and we will continue to prevail. Even if that means dying a martyr, never denying Christ. God bless the world with holy orthodoxy.
"Rolls eyes at that" Both Orthodox and Catholics are guilty of repression and bloodshed and are not His true Church. The True Church consists only of those who go out to the sick, the needy, those in prison etc and preaches the Gospel to them. THAT is the True Church. It is those who OBEY Christ. No, you Orthodox and Catholics will be cast into the Lake of Fire if you are not Born Again and start to obey Christ.
@@christianfreedom-seeker934 fool scoffers will be punished, you have no connection to the church of acts. Orthodox are born again in baptism obviously
@@christianfreedom-seeker934 Funny how you have the gall to make such a slander against the Orthodox Church yet you named yourself after an ideology that promotes immorality, materialism and selfish hedonism.
Greatly have mine iniquities multiplied, O Theotokos. Wherefore, I take refuge in thee, O pure one, seeking salvation. Visit mine afflicted soul, and intercede with thy Son our God to grant me forgiveness for the evil I have done, O thou only blessed one. O holy Theotokos, throughout my life forsake me not, O protetress of mankind; but help me and have mercy on me. In thee, O Mother of God, I place all my hope; keep me under thy protection.
I got chrismated yesterday. I know Protestantism is way off. I still don’t understand fully some of the prayers to Mary but I do believe in giving her honor and blessing her

Truly beautiful! Valaam brings all Orthodoxy together! I am Greek Orthodox from Australia! Orthodox Brothers: Greece - Russia - Serbia - Armenia - Bulgaria
Harri Linna OMG yes! Absolutely love Finland! Beautiful country, beautiful culture and beautiful music! Greeks do not regret supporting Finland in their independence!

I bought my baptismal cross at St. John the Baptist Cathedral in Washington D.C., founded by St. John Maximovitch, the Cathedral holds the original icon shown at 2:21. I feel blessed to have witnessed these originals. There is plenty of Orthodox holiness to find in the United States if you know where to look. Glory to God!

The truth of Christian faith and I yes, I respect other faith's of Christianity, but they are missing the whole faith and what the true faith means. I am also feel blessed and that I was shown the way to going home, to the true and Orthodox Faith.
Wow, I bet if the author of the "Gulag Archipelago" could see the blossoming of Russian culture again! Tragically like Moses he did not see the Holy Land.
Cool seeing you here! Somewhere else in the comments someone said it's from "Taste the Fountain of Immortality, " which is apparently entirely in English.
Re: Clairez's comment (see below) that the Roman Catholic Church "is most clear that the pope is not God ...," consider the following blasphemies of these "infallible" would-be dictators of the world have made: "We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty" (Pope Leo XIII). "The pope is not only representative of Jesus Christ, but he is Jesus Christ Himself, hidden under the veil of the flesh. Does the pope speak? It is Jesus Christ Himself Who speaks" (Pope "saint" (???) Pius X). "You know that I am the Holy Father, the representative of God on earth, the Vicar of Christ, which means that I am God on earth" (exact words of Pope Pius XI). "To make war against the pope is to make war against God, seeing that the pope is God and God is the pope" (Moreri, Roman theologian). I could go on for an hour in this vein. To make a long story short, the satanic blasphemies got me out of the schismatic and heretical Latin church. When I read Orthodoxy's history of the Great Schism, I knew immediately that it was/is the ancient Church established by Christ and the Apostles. I was then baptized in the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia.
How to give joy to God Matthew 25: 40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ That is whatever you do for a homeless man you do for God, that is if you invite a homeless man to dinner you invite God to dinner, if you give food or drinks to a homeless man, you give it to God. So in the same idea, if you make a homeless man happy giving him joy you make God happy. So weekly or monthly go to a homeless man and ask him what is that his heart desire and if you do what he says you made God very happy. If you are asked for too much put a limit you want. Whatever you give to a homeless man you give to God and people coming from near death say that they had found in after life things that they have given to a poor person. They also report people in aafter life need food, drinks, clothes and a house. Orthodoxy is the church that the gates of Hell will never overcome. Never. Teach your children how to give joy to God. Teach others to do joy to God and God will reward you. We have the power to make Hell empty. The book Evergetinos shows how to transform a fallen angel into an angel of light. By creating a department like the army to serve God that is to serve homeless people that is to give food, drinks, clothes,medicine and housing to homeless instead of every human that ever existed, every human can fulfill the good part of story of goats and sheeps in Matthew 25 around verse 40 and be in a good position thus entering Heaven.
I didn't realise for a few seconds that this is sung in English. It is astonishing to hear it in English, but I have to say this form seems to lose some magnificence and perhaps mystique when sung in English.

All quiet on the western front. Various people are asleep. Various people are awake. They come and go in cars, pickups, taxis. Other than that, we watch the air move.
Thank you so much. Please see my Orthodox video promotions (shorts and trailers in many languages) of my upcoming documentary on the triumph of Orthodox Christianity (filmed in the Republic of Georgia) on youtube under marykfilms.
