Why it is impossible to stop sinning in this generation 

When my cousin passed away she had over 10 heart attacks. Her heart didnt want to give out but her organs did one by one. Her heart didn't want to stop beating. This message touched me deeply today. Thank you.

May the Lord have mercy on everyone here in the comments section ❤️ ☦️

I have never heard of this Priest before, This video showed up on my youtube page, and the title caught my curiosity . This video was a huge help for me. I have come to the point of despair and about to just give up, all is lost in sin. This Priest gave me new hope, my eyes were a little watering while watching this video. My soul so needed to hear this message of renewed hope, you have no idea. Thank you Fr for this video.

I watched my husband slowly die over 18 months and what became apparent was that he was becoming increasingly more innocent ent and was redeeming a life that , like all of us, was not always lived with grace.

I'm a sinner. With that said, I sin less and less every year, month and day. If I compared myself to who I was 10 years ago, I would be unrecognizable. The big difference is my sins used to affect others and I didn't care, but now my sins are now all within me and I struggle to seek the forgiveness. I now struggle with my thoughts instead of my actions. There is so much noise, it is impossible to keep all the thoughts out. Committing myself to my family, community and work was the first change. I'm a work in process, but I have Christ to guide me. I am at peace with whatever judgment is to be given.

From Canada. I am a Catholic in the Roman Rite which is so divided today as foretold by our Blessed Mother. God bless you Father and thank you from the bottom of my heart. You made me think of Our Lord's passion where he fell three times and he got up each time and JUST NOW I realized he was telling us as you did, to keep getting up and not become despondent and despairing as the devil wants us to do. This is an amazing revelation which is helping put on the armour I need to continue on the difficult path which is the right path. God bless you.

The Holy Spirit's protection is just on another level. The last couple months I've been good with abstaining from sin. There have been a few times where I'll slip back for a minute or two but I'll instantly feel a deep disgust on a spiritual level that I had never felt before, after only just a minute of sinning. I'm so thankful to God for protecting me.

Peace, grace, mercy and The Holy Spirit be with you Father ☦

As far as I can tell, it's the continual *struggle* against sin that matters to the Lord.

You give me so much hope Father...thank you. Please pray for me and my family. Nikolai from Japan.

To say this message is TIMELY is a complete understatement. Thank you Father- for your obedience and for posting this. You are helping more than words will ever convey🙏🏼

Father, it's as if you were speaking to me directly in this talk. Thank you for giving this sinner hope. God bless you!

"THE SPIRIT IS WILLING BUT THE FLESH IS WEAK"-Matthew 26:41

Thank you brother. I feel lost beyond words, it's so hard to repent, pray and believe in Christ in this world. I need God's help to get me back on track, pray for me please, I'll pray for you.

This is exactly what I needed to hear tonight. You really helped me. I feel less alone in all this misery during the duration of listening to this video. Thank you.

I was going to ask some critical questions regarding the topic of this video. After watching this man's heartfelt encouragement and message of love, and after reading all the grateful comments, my questions became less important. I do not believe in your God, but I respect your message and your willingness to do good in this world.

I am very moved by your sermon... Life is so hard, the last years have been so wrought with obstacles, ambushes and traps, it's a daily battle against bitterness, fear and anger, besides all our many other sins.... I am also Roman Catholic, and the image of your Grandmother's heart and the contrast you brought to it remind me of one of my favorite devotion, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, pierced on the Cross and from which gushed forth water and blood, the very Heart of God in the flesh, brought back to life by the Holy Spirit and Glorified by the Father Himself, "Behold this Heart that so loved man!" God bless you too, brother, thank you for the encouragements!

This was uploaded at a very proper time in my life, even the exact day, where I fell into old habits that make me ill, a habit from coping with anxiety I've barely improved. It tempts me to despair and fearing Christ smiting me instantly or cursing me, etc. The wisdom here reminds me of a few saints' quotes as well as the poem "Man in the Arena". Thank you very much Father for this much-needed inspiration and hope. Lord have mercy and God bless everyone ☦️

Amen. Thanks for this. I have to say, while yes it seems that we are tiny in a ocean of sin, it is such a relief when I find prayer. When I go to mass, I feel physical and mental relief. And maybe the times we are in make it that much more of a relief. Or maybe it was always meant to be this way.

You made this video at the perfect time 😢 I really needed this

the timing of this is not coincidental....thank you so much..god bless and help us all..ill keep you in my prayers

Thank you Fr. Seraphim. My knees are skinned and bruised from falling many times .

This is a wonderful insight into the human condition! For Western Christians, what God revealed to Julian of Norwich may be helpful…when she asked why sin even existed, she was told that sin is necessary and that in the end “all shall be well”.

Yes, dear Father , this is our Holy Jyhad , Father Vasile Vasilachi, always use to say : the good fight ( Lupta cea buna) Thank you , Thank you, a Happy New Year in Jesus Christ. La multi Ani in Domnul!

I dont know how this video got recommended to me, right when I needed to hear this. I struggled with sin and guilt of repeating the same mistakes over and over again. Eventhough I prayed and prayed to ask God take away my bad habits and temptations, still I sinned. Listening to this video gave me hope to keep holding on even when I myself is weak and sick, but I will hold on.

Finally, A True Man Of God, Who Tells The Loving, Forgiving Truth. You Have Brought Me Closer To Christ. Thank You Special Brother.💜🕯🌹

This has come at the right time Thank you Father🙏🙏

I am Catholic. Claude de Columbiere said something similar. To hope when there is no hope. But this particular talk hit on target for a particular moment in my life in this world. Appreciated.

Beautiful image, beloved Father Seraphim! Thanks for this precious sharing!

Thanks for the encouragement to never give up! Kind regards

God led me here this morning to hear your message. There are no coincidences. Thank you.

I Haven’t been to Liturgy in a Months and haven’t prayed for months, I’m a catechumen and I’ve fallen into despair. Thank you for this🙏🏻☦️

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I know in my heart that I was meant to watch this video, because it has given my spirit and will strength to continue my devotion for our Blessed Mother, and our Precious Savior Jesus Christ. I feel run down, beaten, overwhelmed, and disheartened at the state of my life and my environment… I have been tempted internally to despair before and after I pray the rosary. This message has inspired and blessed me! Be blessed Padre! I pray our heavenly Mother bless you!

Thank you Father Seraphim. I really needed to hear this at such a time as this in my life. Tepidity and indifference to prayer can happen, and this reminder of persistence in prayer is a divine intervention to remain faithful in prayer always. God bless you🙏🙏

Dear Brother in Christ. Truly a wonderful video about your grandmother's heart! Jesus was with her, within her heart, and despite it's condition, His love was enough to sustain it despite the passing of the corporeal extremities of her body, in silent testimony of His power! His love poured in outlasted the passing of the earthly, resonating His words: "And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Beautiful. The way our mom passed was similar, in the way she remarked that there would be no more concern about her earthly responsibilities. It really put me at ease to realize that our Lord was preparing her for rest. May Glory be to our Lord Jesus in this, and in the constant conversions of our hearts!

A HAPPY NEW YEAR,FR.!All our wishes come true!You re right,because He s born,we have all hope now to eternal happiness!His Incarnation is the best thing the most important thing that has ever happened to us.CHRIST IS BORN,GLORIFY HIM!CHRIST FROM HEAVEN,WELCOME HIM!CHRIST ON EARTH,ASCEND!SING TO THE LORD ALL THE EARTH!🙏♥️🎇

🙏Jesus Christ I Trust in You🙏THANK You Father 🕊🙏🛡⚔

We listeners are incredibly blessed to hear what the Lord is saying through your undiluted calling to serve him. I stopped listening for a few months. I am back now, more humble and hopeful of applying more of your wisdom. God bless you Father Seraphim with a spiritually fruitful year ahead. It is not easy being in the world and not of the world. I deplore falsities and even though you are intensely honest and to the point, I value that more than flattery, because I want to save my soul from hell and lead others away from addictions that are damaging to soul health. I am outnumbered in my situation and I am one who prefers peace and not disrespect from close ones. God understands all I have been through. Sanctification perhaps, has tailored versions from God to suit the spiritual needs of each of us. I yearn eventually for Eternal Heaven but I have not yet perfection and need much patience and penance and spiritual guidance. Going back to worrying and worldliness is not a choice for me or my friends.

Praise God for this enlightenment! Bless you for this graces message🔥🕊🎁🙏🏻😊

This is an incredible hope, inspiration, and a resolution for our lives. A Blessed New Year to all.

Thank you for the insight we are a cell in the body of society and affected and affect that way.

Praise be to God. Your videos are always enlightening and encouraging, Father. God help my spiritual arrogance that leads to despondency. Happy new year and thank you, Father.

Thank you brother in Yahoshuva Massiah. God bless.🙂

What happens to me is the more I resist temptation and run from sin the more exhausted to the point of near collapse I become. We are to carry our crosses. I don’t fear what the devil can do to my body, but what will happen to my soul should I depart from God. Dear God, I am more pressed and shaken year after year and it is very painful when not in the Spirit.

I'm very greatful to have heard Your words, dear Father! May Our Lord keep You and guard You and lead You to His Glory. Amen.

Exceptional video Father Seraphim! ❤️❤️❤️

What a profound & powerful message! God bless you sir!

Thank you so much for this Father, God bless you and keep you.

I'm humbled by your wisdom of Christ. You have a new regular follower.

This is the message that I needed to hear! THIS!!!! How it speaks to my heart, Father! Thank you so much! God Bless, and Happy New Year!

I want to stop being dishonest. I grew up in a narcissistic family and lying or twisting the truth helped me get by. What a bad habit. At first I thought I want to think of the truth and say it because I don't want my kids to be dishonest. But I realize now I want to be honest with everyone for myself as well. Boy it's hard though. Not even realizing it after all this time.

That was the most beautiful video I have watched on this platform thank you brother ❤✝️

May the Father bless you richly. The Spirit brought this message to my need this morning. Praise our risen Lord.

🙏Amen,Amen,Amen✨🕊🛡⚔️

I'm protestant and what a nice channel bro. Keep on working for gospel my brother, greatings from Brazil

Thank you as always.

Happy New Year! !🙏

Lord God, Son of God, have Mercy on me a Sinner ! Amen !

thank you..... For I shall not die but declare the works of the Lord.... Felicidases a todos

I needed to hear this. I have been feeling so ground down by my own failings.

Hello, Iam muslim but I still very much enjoyed and took away a lot from this video, I thank you very much.

Thank you Father. God bless.

Brilliant video. There is a mentality that creeps into all of us that questions "Why isn't this effortless? Why does my love for sin outweigh my love for God? What shame is this that I am so fallen and rebellious that I would take God's gift and soil it knowingly? Is the grace not with me?" But this is a mistaken thought process. God doesn't expect us to move the mountains. He expects us to struggle in faith against an immoveable object. To fail, and fail, and fail again, but to visciously wage war against this sin anyway. To have faith and to stuggle with God, and endure the pain of powerlessness, but to keep fighting. One day Jesus will take over, and it won't even be conscious that we follow God's laws. But for now, we must pick up the cross and march on, if nothing but by faith that one day faith will be the reward.

While I don’t believe in calling another man “father” (Matthew 23:8). Your message resonated very heavily in my soul. I will not let the body of Christ die, even though i feel hopeless and so much despair. Thank you.

Im working on a personal project that consists in an atempt to help people clarify their minds on how our world works, based on my clinical experience, wich is something really hard to by itself. It becomes even more dificult when you see the way people are more and more just, devoid of any care for each other as well as the direction everything is going, it makes you question if its worth it at all. I asked God for a sign a few days ago, to know if I should keep going on with this project, or if it would have any meaning, and I ended up in this video. Your words were exactly what I needed to hear, and I thank you for that!

6:41 *MIND BLOW* Wow... This... Wow... This was perhaps a life changing piece of advice for me. This couldn't have come at a better time.

Beautiful message. I was asking God to open up my heart because I can't do it alone. Then I found you and you said it... Thank you my brother

Amin...! Binecuvantarea Domnului să fie peste toată obstea manastirii fratiei voaste ,patinte Serafim! Mare mulțumire pentru cuvintele spuse din Inimă si de mare folos sufletesc!

Thank You so much for sharing words of wisdom!! So well timed for me, as I have struggled greatly lately, and the temptation to give up has been on my mind. Thank You for reassuring me and helping!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. For the will to keep going forward. Thank you

We can do nothing good without Him. But, with Him we can do all good, and be perfect like the Father, as long as we submit to the Lord’s Divine Will, allowing Him to work in and through us. Let us not fall into sin, but into the life of salvation and grace. If we are too weak, let us turn to the Lord and tell Him so, and ask Him, through your human will to give you Divine Strength to succeed and be sanctified…. Letting Him give the strength needed…. allowing our will and His to be One in Him.

Thank you. Ive been flustered lately about my failure to concentrate as well as I used to on/in prayer.

Slăvit să fie Domnul!

Thank you my brother. Bless you.

I have been very busy lately and the time I spend with my Lord has drastically reduced. Need to get back on track. Thank you for this beautiful sermon

“I don’t know if I can share this with you because Christ shares things with us on a personal level” it’s all good though because it’s good to share things so glad you did. after all were pawns to help others. also it has always been impossible not to sin, that’s why god sent his only son to die for our sins. that doesn’t mean we’re forgiven though.

Amen, my Brother!

Thank you Father for your teaching and encouragement. You are a bright light to us.

Fantastic content. Very moving, and poignant. I'm an alienated catholic but your message resonates with me very deeply. Thank you and please keep up the good work for as long as you can.

Respect Father from your western brothers ✝️❤️☦️ your words are true.

There is a Zen Buddhist koan that asks: "Who is dragging this corpse?"

This was so comforting. Thank u

Through our own knowledge and power, we can not come to Christ, but through the knowledge and power of our Lord and Savior, the power of the Holy Spirit, we can, and we will. If we keep the faith regardless of our state, and we remember that, whether or not we are aware of it, the Lord is with us in all of our states just the same, the Lord, the Spirit, will give us the knowledge and power, the Lord, the Spirit, will bring forth the light again in our lives.

Excellent work…. Jesus will come, if you truly ask him. I think you are right - continued prayer will make our individual bodies more receptive to the love of Christ. ❤️🙏❤️

This was powerful. Thank you. Through struggle we grow.

Binecuvintează și pre mine părinte!🙏🏻

Beautiful message and very true! We can't give up! God bless you!

Very beautiful and powerful message. God bless you. ✝️🙏

Thank you. Thank you, dear Father. 🙏🏻☦️

Consider the apple in the garden of Eden and Consider the apple in 2023 we all have taken a bite. Father it is better to know people have to see the difference between the dark and the light. Only that will urge them to seek. We are all on a quest forever seeking God bless you

Thank you so so so so so so so much. May God continue to bless you sir. 🙏🥹❤️

Thank you for your teaching. God bless.

❤ Amen rhank you father fot encouragement

All these icons are so beautiful and inspiring! God bless you ✝️🙏☦️

THANK YOU! Bless you holy man

Thank you Father Seraphim!

Thank you and God bless you richly with his blessings...in Jesus name 🙏

This is wonderful. Thank you for sharing it.

Well, We without Christ, can’t do anything, it’s by the grace of God that we can overcome sin, passions, etc. And this is the faith, by our means it’s impossible and there’s no hope. But God is out hope, out strength.

Thankyou, your words have helped me a lot. I will keep getting up. May god bless you.
