Father Lazarus teaches an American pilgrim about silence and the Jesus Prayer

[@steelfalconx2000]

Imagine a monk coming up to and saying "God told me you were coming. Come with me." What a blessing.

[@Mark-yb1sp]

The Jesus prayer definitely diminishes bad thoughts that come out of no where. I say it every time I need to stay focused. It’s not a gimmick or a child’s prayer. It’s a mystery that works. It passes all understanding.

[@JohnCephas]

I wonder where does it come from?

[@mrspencer9999]

Yeah because the lord himself spoke it. All of his words are holy

[@propriusly]

@@JohnCephas A good start is a 19th century novel " The Way of the Pilgrim". Then you can read the theological presentation and explanation by Orthodox priests.

[@JohnCephas]

@@propriusly Oh ok thanks. I will check it out. Do you personally believe Jesus taught this way of being?

[@Bullheadrecords]

It’s so simple that a child could say it easily, but yet there’s so much power in its simplicity. Lord Jesus Christ son of God have mercy on me a sinner. Nothing more, but the power of calling out to the lord is indescribable. Someone’s who’s been an atheist their whole lives could say it and truly mean it, and the lord will answer. A satanist can turn his back on the darkness and the lord will answer if the words of the Jesus prayer are spooked from his lips. I can go on and on , but the bottom line is, the Jesus prayer is one of the most powerful prayers in all of Christianity.

[@TheGrenadier97]

This video is pure gold. May God bless those heroic monks, examples for all Christendom.

[@NihilanthNonServiam]

Not to be rude, but beyond a selfish purpose of acquiring interior silence, what does it do for the world? And isn't the world out there a place to roam freely and the challenge God gave people is to live dignified lives, being good, etcetera without commiting sin? Being free of sin may mean you aren't sullied by a life of disgrace... But what's the point withdrawing from life and its woes completely? What's so heroic? If life is a battlefield these monks surely aren't playing a role in it, good or bad.

[@smathias7840]

You can only do something for the world when you first do something for yourself i.e. in the good way. If you see the video ,the monk clearly states he did not have agape i.e. unconditional love which he could share with others as he came from a atheistic school of thought.Hence he went to seek it. Now in deep spirituality many monks ask to intercede for the sins of men and suffer terribly both physically and spiritually. Padre Pio is a well known name who used to be physically beaten by entities to stop him in his penance.The whole point of mans life is understanding that real and lasting happiness comes from within and the path to it is v narrow and requires a lot of self discipline to multiply the gifts given by god.It raises a man consciousness so that he is able to see life through God's eyes.Such a person in a v short time can provide deep insight to the worldly mans problems and alleviate his suffering or even end it.

[@NihilanthNonServiam]

To me it seems he used to do more when he worked part time at a Hospital during his studies... Caring for the ill, carrying the dead to the morgue... I heard another one of his speeches, he sounds very wise. Interceding for sins however is something I may never be able to understand, and beyond his isolation and his austerity I don't see what else can be harming him, if you refer to entities I can't help but feel sceptical about it (But may be I am missing out). I understand what you mean however by doing something positive about oneself first, that's true, we study to become doctors, we don't become doctors just because we want to help people, sometimes this wish to help but the lack of knowledge can be damning to those we try and help... So he's trying to achieve agape? What's the next step in his plan? As for ending mans suffering... It's been going on since year 0, how can it end through the works of monks?

[@smathias7840]

Since you do not understand spiritual intercession ,it is wise to hold your judgement for now. It is carrying the crosses of others i.e. being christ like spiritually.You are definitely right that he also needs to do good works and I 100% agree with it that faith without good actions is dead, So your faith should bring out good works, From what I understand his life is one of chastisement and not of worldly pleasure.SO he is basically building a foundation for himself.It is v difficult for a normal man to get up everyday become selfless and help others and deal with the stress of it when you get nothing in return atleast in the worldly sense Almost all if not all other professions give you a return monetarily and it motivates them to take the stress of the job .What about him?So what are the mechanics, how can he gain anything from being selfess? It is internal fulfillment and regeneration i.e. moving to a closer union to God but first he needs to seek and experience the kingdom(agape) or else he will not be building his house on strong foundation and could collapse. True,suffering never ends but our ability to deal with it sure can evolve with right guidance and also spiritual graces through the intercession of Holy men .You see there is a saying,everyone comes crying into this world but the one who goes away smiling is the king of his destiny . Entities: These experiences are possible mostly in following cases 1, If an individual or someone in his family has indulged in spiritually evil things 2 Someone has cursed a certain person through occult 3 If you reach a very high state of holiness where you know that evil is real.Here there is godly bliss and the opposite of it. Jesus: Seek the kigdom of God and its righteousness and the rest will be added unto you.

[@NihilanthNonServiam]

I refrain from judging, I've stated a (mutable) opinion that I hold now, my degree of knowledge is null, so you must understand me from where I stand I barely know anything about Christianity, so I don't comprehend it, I do however proceed with cautious logic which could or not be faulty. That's why I'm using the youtube comments as a way of having a conversation, I ask questions that I wish to be answered, instead of making statements as if I were standing on a soapbox. I am genuinely interested in religion, but my perspective is that of a non-believer, and even with the knowledge you provide, this will be filtered and scrutinized, in hopes that I can arrive at a firm conclusion some day, for now I proceed with philosophy.

Father Lazarus is the single reason I turned from sin, and the reason I lived as a monk, to a degree. And now, I’m a teacher to a certain degree, but my problem is the isms. But isms aren’t necessarily sinful. I’ve become him, but different. I want to meet him and thank him. Cheers.

[@moveinsilencegs5136]

@Joseph I honestly am surprised by the coincidence of your response as I'm reading. I'm going to finish out my collegiate understanding down the very same path he went. But rather different relatively speaking. As I annotate, I went down the path of sin very young. Due to intense trauma. I found God through him, Fr Lazarus and shunned the world. I became an idiot socratean. Despising all that was. A fool. But I realized I must practice maintenance of myself; sustainable. This comes from society, Congruency is positive. I mean also monetarily. He; father Lazarus was a professor. I am too called this, or teacher. It is odd, but after all this time, the great Lazarus has affected me effectually unto efficacy of professorship. Of the faith and linguistics. I intend to be educated by the secularist, only to engage in positive maieutics, I will be victorious by the hand of The Father. I am a negative destruction of the failed reasonings of the secularist commune. And perhaps completed in eventual proceedings. Fr. Lazarus was led astray by isms. But I am with God in them. Who among men will prosper? Not the ungodly. No so. But he who walks with God His fruit shall be borne in their season

[@myronplatte8354]

@@moveinsilencegs5136 It's dangerous to compare oneself to anyone, especially God-bearing monks. Experienced monks like Fr. Lazarus would never say that they had reached equivalency with anyone. That would be a prideful claim. They would say that they are worse than everyone else in the world.

I started saying the Jesus Prayer and I felt like I was being lifted up and away from the pestering voices that have been bothering me for while (it appears to be that every time I devote myself to proper spiritual practice, devils hate that and they pester me. They try to speak loudly so I cannot hear/feel Jesus and it is annoying/disorienting). When I say the Jesus prayer I hear them still but I feel almost as if I am hovering over them. Like their words could not reach me anymore and I was brought to another room. Then I cried. Now I try to do it at 3 am. I have tried meditation but that sort of uncontrolled silence seems to allow them in. With Jesus prayer I can die to myself while calling upon Jesus. And too asking for mercy alleviates my soul. Every time I say the Jesus Prayer something magical happens, seriously. Maybe it will not be like this every time but every time I do God gifts me something (most times even these gifts I can interact with my physical senses so this is even more special to me but I love the Spiritual gifts Father gives me and I am grateful for them. Also one of the men sharing I relate to what he said about inner stillness. I find it much easier to constantly say the Jesus Prayer (or when needed for long periods of time) than to having to be constantly conscious of my thoughts. For me it is stressful to constantly be on my guard of my own sin and other devils that wish to distract me. All of this is chatter chatter chatter and it is very stressful. Saying the Jesus Prayer is greatly alleviating. I hope that this inspires and encourages anyone reading this. Truly it (the Jesus Prayer) is amazing.

is fr lazarus still alive and there?

[@stoichild]

Where is this place?

[@Tommy-c8j6e]

Egypt, could be St. Catherine of Mt. Sinai Monastery. Same place where the pioneer of the Christian monastic tradition St. Anthony the Great prayed I think.

To what church Father Lazarus belongs to ? Is it Coptic ? Or is there some other Orthodox Christian Church in Egypt ?

[@morasedhom5828]

RekkyRex there are many denominations in Egypt like Catholics and Protestants but he belongs to the Coptic church which include the majority of Christians in Egypt.

[@RekkyRex85]

Mora Sedhom I do not wish to troll especially that I respect Coptic Church. We Orthodox in Serbia consider Copts as our brothers. But its odd to me that they are talking about jesus prayer, especially when it includes transformation of physical body as well and bridge between human and divine nature which is joined by Christ. Something which is not recognized enough in Coptic Church. A monk who is a friend of mine told me that father Lazar became a monk first in Serbian Orthodox Church an later on he went to the desert. He also told me that Coptic Church had some very very strong praying monks in it's history. Thank you very much for the information you've written, as I know very little on the subject !

[@morasedhom5828]

We actually value the Jesus' prayer in our Coptic Orthodox church. We value prayers in general :)

[@Zeeks-vp7tf]

Yes, Coptic Orthodox Christian Monk

[@maximusconfese5899]

Father Lazarus also spent a number of years on Mount Athos.

I thought that the monk in the thumbnail was St Charbel 😂 Anyways God bless my Orthodox brothers and sisters ❤❤

Can one in his prayer adress the son, not the father?

[@Marco-bf4uu]

Yes, but i would start every prayer in the name of the Trinity

[@theguyver4934]

@@Marco-bf4uu There is no trinity in the teachings of the apostles and the early church fathers plus its not biblical hence its not a part of the Christian faith

[@societydisliker2333]

​@@theguyver4934the apostolic church fathers have direct quotes on the trinity

[@Chaggy1978]

Which is the real name of Jesus? Yeshua? Yahushua? I find it very confusing thank you.

[@BibleIllustrated]

All of them are. They are just different nations' different pronunciations of the same name.

[@Marco-bf4uu]

He was syriac speaking

[@user-pl8kc2lo1r]

Yeshu in hebrew/ gallelian dialect of arameic, in syriac- arameic its isho
