AE44: The Philokalia - Lecture 1: Introduction

[@pazserenaeuna]

Very interesting! I was a practing Oriental Meditation, and someone tolld me that the first Christians had contemplative practicies very like Oriental Meditation, and by reading the Philokalia i became a Christian!!! Many thanks to the Saints that made this work avaiable to us all!!!

[@Joeonline26]

Christianity has an amazing history of contemplative practices, it's just that nobody alive in the west today even knows their own history! See also the Sayings of the Desert Fathers❤️☦️

[@faierieknotting]

@@Joeonline26 Very so , Peace and Grace be with us all in the Lord, I am reading the Azusa Street Papers it is fascinating that what thei call "Waiting Before the Lord" it is as the "Guarding of the Hearth" of the Desert Hermits it is impressive how litle do we know of what it is to be a Christian, good videos like this one help to see things in perpective

[@seek4truth]

I could listen to this man everyday! Respect!

[@veilofreality]

As a Catholic I can say that I really wished we had a man like this, at the head of our Church.

[@aussiegreek1]

We Catholics have. You just haven't 'met' him yet...... You can't know the people you haven't met nor can you judge them.

[@lingmingching1]

I agree and have asked myself the same question. There are many things I agree with.

[@clarefraser5231]

@Catmatix try listening to the talks given by our holy (traditional) priests on sensus fidelium

[@michaelcaza6766]

Some of us do. Those of us who are blessed to be Ukrainian Greek Catholics have a saintly, wise, fatherly Major Archbishop (we consider him our Patriarch, and hoping that now because of the war His Beatitude Sviatoslav Shevchuk will be officially declared Patriarch by the Universal Pontiff).

[@jeffreyperez2178]

You can always convert to Orthodoxy like I did from Roman Catholicism lol😅

[@artistsurafel]

Dear brothers, where are the remaining lectures that continue from this introduction? Our Father's words are sweeter than honey. I can listen to him all day long.

[@fernandoxavier5688]

They don't provide them for free. You have to buy it.

[@dougmasters4561]

Is it me or did he avoid saying any "stall" words such as "uh" or "umm" as most of us would?

[@victoriaoku9254]

This is great I just came across it today and I am promising myself to continue listening to the lectures for improvement in my life

[@bretdouglas9407]

Sublime talk. I love the philokalia

[@janeself9827]

Thank you Kalistos Ware.

[@zita-lein]

Loved this! I would happily pay to hear the rest of the series, but I don’t want a set of disks. God bless you! ❤

[@captal6187]

Thank you for this beautiful exposition

[@davidrasch3082]

I don't remember where I read it but the comment went something like this, "The Romans live in a world of right angles and the Greek lives in a world of spirals."

[@OLTelevision]

Thank you 🙏

[@dasanudas997]

Please share the rest

[@jasonfrederick1258]

Praying without ceasing is not continuous prayer....it means never giving up in prayer but praying and having a readiness to prayer.

[@henrygarcia6381]

Disagree. Your nous will pray for you at some point in your journey. This is why you will 'never be ceasing in prayer'. It's not metaphorical.

[@DM100]

@@henrygarcia6381yes this is true have experienced it 🙏🏻❤️

[@shannonl9633]

Well said

[@caroleelagrone9729]

Father, Is it possible to still buy the Philokalia in one book Complete!? If so where? How can I purchase one?

[@rodriortiz5174]

Maravilloso. Gracias!

[@monoman4083]

Thank you

[@caroleelagrone9729]

Who are you? What is your name? I would like to hear more from you!!!

[@caroleelagrone9729]

Why is it the way of a Pilgrim leads us to believe The Philokalia is the Writings of the Desert Fathers???

[@renaleonard7586]

Continual prayer. Selah

[@yellow6100]

I dont know if you answer questions here but Im wondering why isnt Fear among the 7 deadly sins or among Evagrius Ponticus 8 evil thoughts? Is it under some of the 7(8) ? I dont understand under which if so. If you answer with your thoughts or solution Id appreciate it.

[@swamibubba]
