Elder Arsenie - On Suffering

Elder Arsenie talks about humbleness, sacrifice and suffering. Spiritual son of Elder Cleopa, (born on August 13th, 1914), in prison on and off for over 12 years between 1938 and 1964, one of the greatest Romanian Elders of our days.

Our Blessed Father Arsenie has gone to the Lord ! REJOICE my brothers, rejoice for our dear father, for he has finally found reward for his many, many sufferings and persecutions in the name of Christ ! May his gentle soul find rest in the arms of the Lord whom he loved more than life itself. Amen !

Beautiful words. Thank you for translating this!

[@ASignOfContradiction]

Wow, the wisdom of the Elder really blew me away, especially his reminder that love, true love, is sacrificial, a dying to self, an emptying out of selfish and self-centered desires. And his use of the miracle of the storm at sea and the fear of the apostles resonates very deeply with me. How often I seek the kingdom and the crown, but flee the cross. Thanks for posting. What a great man!

[@karenbartlett1307]

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on us sinners!

[@lucycastro9428]

Words of extraordinary value! Especially in today's society

[@fgd2007]

In the last 20 seconds of the movie, Elder Arsenie is saying "We don't have to roam the Earth to find special people and special situations, we have to find ourselves!" (it was a problem with translation)

Love love love ♥

[@ioancasian]

Many thanks for your kind words, I'll forward it to the team. In Christ

[@sakeena12]

Thank you for loading this film. Its very helpful and inspiring ! and the translation

[@gnawaserge]

Wow i am fascinated by the knowledge this mok has. So far up to minute three. It is right on dot with every deep thing i have learned in my Evangelical protestant Reformation inspired faith! this is deep

[@DGmarlarock]

wow

[@gazzbgazzb]

nice clip. interesting

[@aristosgeiton2454]

At 2.16' -2.17' , there is A BIG MISTAKE in the translation of a crucial passage. Apostle Paul really says: _ Sufferings of this time (in the sense of time for repentance), are almonst nothing, compared to the GLORY which is to be revealed to us (in Heaven) - ΟΥΚ ΑΞΙΑ ΤΑ ΠΑΘΗΜΑΤΑ ΤΟΥ ΝΥΝ ΚΑΙΡΟΥ, ΠΡΟΣ ΤΗΝ ΜΕΛΛΟΥΣΑ ΗΜΙΝ ΑΠΟΚΑΛΥΦΘΗΝΑΙ ΔΟΞΑΝ !

[@ioancasian]

God is uncreated. Man is created in God's image, after God's likeness: "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness" Hence created god. No heresy...

@cozanostraful Dragul meu, dar limba asta romana cu ce ti-a gresit?

[@michaelrainbow4203]

"We get to know ourselves so that we can overcome ourselves, which is the greatest triumph." Most clarifying. Wisdom.

[@Alexander_Isen]

I have never heard a catholic or a protestant speak like this. This is why I am orthodox

[@ioancasian]

You're very welcome brother! The fact that people benefit from these videos is the best thank you I could get. In Christ

[@bezagebremedhine6133]

thank you. this means a lot to me! a sinner. love from Ethiopian Orthodox Christian.

[@Socotri]

BEZA Gebremedhine your Church is blessed, it is still untouched by modernism and its procession of illusions.

[@ginyu9894]

Socotri Blessed? Schism and rejection of Ecumenical councils aren't a blessing.

[@Socotri]

Kongarol leave theology to theologian, we, commoners have only the prayer of the heart to discern truth form error. We judge a tree by its fruits and the Ethiopian church still produces saints.

[@ginyu9894]

Socotri This is not theology, these are the basics of the Unity of the Church

[@ginyu9894]

@Babd By Orientals I mean the Non Calcedonian communities

Through suffering and humility to greatness in God's eyes.

[@ioancasian]

True. May God grant us his strength, patience and wisdom for the difficult times that seem to be upon us. In Christ

[@ioancasian]

@gnawaserge hmmm, second monk? where? watch again, there is only Elder Arsenie. Not much in common with protestantism I'm afraid...

[@foolyanr.1]

It's interesting how i searched videos about the beat generation and Alexander Trocchi and ended up in Videos about emerits and mystics. God bless the wisdom of this personalitys and everyone who made this videos possible for the internet.

If there be a true way that leads to the Everlasting Kingdom, it is most certainly that of suffering, patiently endured... - Saint Colette of Corbie (1381-1447)

[@balancex3]

[@maxavail]

spre sfarsit, e o mica greseala la subtitrare, expresia "you are a microcosm reflecting a macrocosm, the whole world" apare de doua ori, prima data pentru a traduce expresia "trebuie sa ajungi sa te cunosti pe tine cu orice chip", ceea ce, evident, e o eroare. Daca ai putea sa o remediezi, ar fi bine ;)

[@ioancasian]

Since you seem decided to keep spamming my channel with quotes from wikipedia, I'm forced to remove your postings. Next step will be to ban you altogether.

[@maxavail]

@ioancasian nu e nevoie, poti sa editezi direct versiunea deja existenta, pui niste Annotations pe portiunea de ecran la minutul potrivit...uita-te prin setari ca o sa gasesti ce trebuie :)

[@ioancasian]

@maxavail Ai dreptate, din pacate ca s-o corectez trebuie sa sterg filmul si apoi sa-l reincarc... Asa ca-l las asa. Multumesc oricum, Doamne ajuta

[@sunflower1977able]

Sa va dea Dumnezeu sanatate Parinte si sa va binecuvinteze zilele ramase de trait. Sunteti un mare invatator si multe invataminte putem trage din cuvintele dvs. DUMNEZEU SA VA BINECUVINTEZE!

[@Irisphotojournal]

That which does not kill us makes us stronger so we must suffer each of us in our own way according to God's wish, for without it we cannot become all that we where meant to be as did Jesus as he died for us.

[@katnip198]

Thank you for this wisdom. Beautiful.

[@gnawaserge]

All the stuff the second monk said though semed highly inspired by man and not by the Holy spirit

[@helloimclaudio]

How so?
