Thank you father. I needed to hear this. Too long I have been giving myself excuses for not going to Liturgy and to the Church. First I told myself that I needed to move abroad to an Orthodox nation, and I still did not attend. Then I told myself I needed a car to drive to Church as the walk was too long, and still I didn't go. I have recently discovered the life of the 'Stranniks' in Russia, who wondered from place to place, monastery to monastery and house to house so that they may deprive themselves of the world, I have decided to follow in their footsteps and I now will embark on a long journey visiting some few dozen monasteries and Churches in Serbia on my way through the country while camping in the wilderness. It will take me several weeks to the capital. There are no more excuses, and my way forward is clear. Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

[@GawneForever]

As someone who's grown up in the protestant church all of my life (and is a current protestant Christian), I respect your view. I don't fully understand why Catholics believe in the Eucharist because Jesus uses many other similies to represent the heart of the message he's trying to convey. For example, "I am the door." Jesus doesn't mean that he's a literal door made out of wood, but rather, that one can only come to the father through accepting his sacrifice. I've always been of the notion that the same is for Holy Communion, that it represents us Christians accepting the new covenant and accepting the spiritual "eating and drinking of Christ's blood" in a physical form, through eating bread and drinking wine. If you are able to, I'd love to hear what you have to say on this and why I might be misled.

[@bart0bill691]

@@GawneForeverHey! I’m going through rcia right now to be confirmed catholic. So idk much, but what I do know is that many of jesus’s followers abandoned him due to refusing to eat (the original word translates to ‘gnaw’) his flesh and drink his blood. When they were leaving he didn’t say “hey wait a second its symbolic!” he let them leave him over it, and let them essentially choose to go to hell over it. Just my thoughts on it, not sure what a theologan would say or someone more qualified!

[@eikon7001]

@@GawneForever The existence of a simile that even a child would recognize does not entail such an application wherever we may choose based upon some modern tradition. The Orthodox Church has always understood the Eucharist in a singular way. That is what we have received. This is what has always been done. If we want to philosophize about the divine command in order to empty it of any real significance, neglecting also St Paul who admonished the faithful not to eat and drink unworthily-making us part company with the faith and praxis of the early Church (which we have in writing)-then we are free to do so, just as many who followed Him up to that point likewise did when hearing these words of life. Settling for the empty symbol of modern sectarians when the Reality is offered to us in His One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church is pitiable to say the least. By the way, Fr Spyridon is a hieromonk of the Holy Orthodox Church, not a Roman 'Catholic' papist (if that is what you had in mind when referencing catholics).

[@nnarkaj]

Problem is the translation. If you speak an old language (yes older than Latin) you can understand Jesus spoke in parables most of the time like many of the people back then did. Words were more connected to the physical world in old languages. Current languages are disconnected and rather just “elegant”.

[@eikon7001]

@@nnarkaj Good thing Christ established His Church as the ‘pillar and ground of truth’ instead of just leaving us with a book that everyone thinks they have the right to privately interpret. Quibbles over translations by modern man are irrelevant to the faith once delivered that has been kept throughout the ages by the One Church.

There are some lovely publications related to Russian saints and churches, etc, Quite lovely to read.. in English.. One is called Russian Faith. I think that the other is Russian Church News. I don't remember where i saw that there is a church outside Moscow which has been newly-built and consecrated in the name of St. Varus, who is known as someone who especially prays for the dead who were not Christian (Orthodox, usually, but i doubt that that impedes the prayers of St. Varus.) It was a lovely story and is a lovely church. I am trying to remember to ask his prayers since i have no one in my family who is Orthodox.

Thank you Father Spyridon. Praying for your continued health. The writing of Justin Martyr really helped me understand the Eucharist better. Learning what the early church believed about it is essential to help new Catechumen see how incredible the sacrament and mystery is, but also aid in their witness and apologetics to people like Protestants who diminish the Eucharist into nothing more than a monthly "symbolic" act. Without the Eucharist, are we even Christians?

@@ironstove9000 they deny the fullness of The Faith outside the Church. I came home to Christ in 1988, then spent 5 years looking for unity in Christ, but nothing satisfied my soul until HE led me to Holy Orthodox Faith in the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Faith, the communion of His Saints and The Gifts of the Holy Spirit in The Church, in 1995, and I left the Anglican convent and communion. It is the ego that prevents us from having the fullness of Christ, which can only be gifted by repentance, prayer and Phronema in The Church. If we remain separate from this, we make up our own religion, instead of receiving what has been transmitted since 33AD. Peace be with you xxx

Warning: wall of text incoming I was raised southern baptist, and I lived the fruits of sola fide and the laissez faire attitude towards Christianity that protestantism puts forward. I ended up depressed, unable to enjoy anything, because I was completely lacking the wholeness that God provides. I was questioning my beliefs, questioning if life is worth living, even considering suicide at one point. I cried out to God for some sign that He was real. The very next day, this channel appeared in my feed. I hadn't been watching any Christian content, I didn't even know what Eastern Orthodoxy was, but lo and behold, a priest appeared to me. From there, I started researching orthodoxy, I learned of church history and the schisms it has faced. I learned of the heretical things that the supposed hero of the church Martin Luther had said, and I learned that _seven_ books of the bible had been hidden from me for all my life. It was unbelievable to me how blatantly wrong protestantism is. Now, I attend an EO church for vespers and divine liturgy every week, and I pray the orthodox way, and life has never been more joyous. It's ironic, because I'm a lot less sure that I'll make it to Heaven now that the gravity of my sin has been revealed to me. And yet, I feel more at peace than I ever have, because at least I know for certain that Heaven is real, and that the kingdom of God is something that I can strive for. Father, I'm sure you get a lot of messages about how you led people to orthodoxy, and it probably gets tiring at some point, but I wanted you to know that I might not even be alive today if your channel didn't exist.

Anyway the Lord kept me very uneasy until He opened the path to me with visits to Moscow and St. Petersburg in the late 80s and early 90s..I am so grateful I chucked when i saw your comment about being less sure of your salvation now than you were before...even as you have so much joy.. I understand.. but i am beginning to have a kind of hope about that i never had before..(i didn't grow up with assured salvation..we were not calvinist..thank you, Lord..😏) But what I wanted to tell you was that in the earlier years i used to often begin my confessions by saying it all had seemed a lot easier when we were prtnts.

In the past few years, I’ve realized what Christianity really is. My whole life, I understood that simply having faith in Christ’s existence will save you. It will not. I look around nowadays and see people claiming that they are Christian, but they never show it, they don’t love God and commit their lives to him. It makes me sad every day to see it, and my main goal in life has become to live like Christ did. It’s hard, and I fall many times every day, but I still want to get up, repent of my sins and continue to follow in Jesus Christ’s footsteps.

Really? I don't think that Fr. Spyridon would quite see it like that. But i must not presume to dare to imply that i know what he might say.. Yes, i know there is darkness, but i do not believe it is omnipresent, nor do i believe that it will defeat the Light. ☦💝☦

[@negotiumnovum8899]

Don't listen to the demons. The world is falling into darkness, but be of good cheer, Christ has overcome the world.

Great video again

[@skibidi.G]

God bless Fr. Spyridon . The terrible *_Hallow Mysteries_* of the Eucharist are only known to Orthodox brethren, who read, study and practice the Holy Faith. 😢 Edit: can't type

[@kateleurs5012]

Traditional.Catholicism teaches the same I believe. It was only during the Reformation period that the heresy of the Eucharist being symbolic was embraced more whole heartedly.

[@skibidi.G]

@@kateleurs5012 sure, though, the pope used to be Orthodox as well 😑

[@anthonylingenfelter3186]

Hope your doing well Father Spyridon

[@TheVoiceOfTruth.]

My friends, please pray for me recently I confessed my Orthodox beliefs to my parents but they don't want me to become Orthodox as they are non-denominational (Message Believer Branham Cult) and I don't know what to do but I know the Lord will lead me. My name is Angel but soon I hope to Gabriel after St. Gabriel of Georgia.

[@areyoutheregoditsmedave]

hey dan. if youre reading this, you shld join the Church.

[@Lexster918]

I struggle with the Eucharist a lot because I have celiac disease. It’s one of the reasons I’ve stayed Protestant. Bread makes me very ill and destroys my intestines. I don’t understand this struggle god has allowed me to have.

[@starstray4326]

Go to the orthodox church and ask the priest about this issue

[@johnnyd2383]

That is not a bread you would be taking if you are to become Orthodox...

[@ericlammerman2777]

A lady at my parish takes partakes only of the blood of Christ, probably because she has a similar issue. You don't need to remain Protestant. Climb aboard the Ark of Salvation.

[@67serene]

I also know a lady at my parish with severe Celiac. She takes the Eucharist every Sunday. She told me that she experiences a miracle at every Liturgy. Don't let this stop you!

[@lindaphillips4646]

You must please speak to an Orthodox priest. This should not keep you from the Church. The are beautiful prayers prayed before the communicants receive the Holy Mysteries. Yes, Gifts. Mysteries. One pray speaks of them being for the healing or soul and body. These are not symbols, which i heard every Sunday in my prtnst church, but the real thing. Please talk to a priest.

[@Shernickyholmes221]

May God forgive me. I have partaken of the eucharist without confession because of shame.

[@riseandshinejp]

We live in dark times.

[@richardsmith3199]

Im at a bad crossroads in life and I fear death lurks for me around the corner and I have to always be correct or... What can I do in this situation surrounded by the flocks of people who spread hatred doubt and sew fear and anxiety with all they do even what they mutter under their breath is pure negativity

[@lindaphillips4646]

My suggestion is to avoid them as much as possible and pray for them when you have to be around them. And fill your heart with the works of those such as Fr. Spyridon and your time by watching some church services..☦💝📿💝☦

[@negotiumnovum8899]

Sounds like you need to find a new crowd bro. We all love you, Christ loves you and that's all that matters. See if you can find more loving friends, there are tons of good people in the world. Also make sure you aren't misinterpreting. The demons are good at making us think we hear things we don't really and making us think people hate us when they don't. God bless!

[@HomoEucharistica]

Do as all Christian generations before (and after) you: abide in Christ. Death may lurk for you around the corner, but Christ has both crushed its head and given to us life in Himself. As David sings, "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the defense of my life; whom shall I dread?" (Ps. 27:1-2). But as suggested in other comments, it might be the best if you look for new flocks of people, if possible.

[@mikeautry2271]

I remember my Dad. when very young. my brother's & sisters..took the bread & wine..life of Christ..from our Home..

[@connorthomas9483]
