[@lapun47]

Thank you both! It's good to see two people who have been important in my--and many other people's--spiritual growth chat together.

[@vickykentrota9031]

God bless you both.Thank you isn't enough.Live from Greece.

[@vickykentrota9031]

Love from Greece.

Great question and answer regarding divisiveness...thankyou both.

[@ekaterini2957]

I am just sitting here smiling. This is just such a beautiful surprise to watch this. Thank you so much.

Thank you for your response to my comment Sister Vassa! God bless you!! It made my evening!! I really do have a lot of affection towards you!! I’ve noticed videos on KZbin, that from the titles, they probably just want to attack you. I’m not even interested in watching them to find out (I WON’T watch them!). I’ve watched a lot of your videos, but good golly, I’ve got to start clicking the like button when I like them to help the algorithm!😊😂 I’ll confine myself to likes and perhaps comments here and elsewhere. I prefer not even having to deal with those who attack you, but I will defend you if they come out of the woodwork!! Again God bless you Sister!😊🙏❤️👍

[@ekaterini2957]

What about a 4 time per year Saturday "visit" between you two? I would love to hear more. Would be lovely to bring the followers from each together into another family...

[@robinrobinson6714]

Thank you for this interview Sister Vassa! God bless you!! Abbot Tryphon is one of my favourite people. I love you both!!❤️ I want to take this opportunity to do something I’ve should have done along time ago. I sincerely and deeply apologize for not coming to your defence!! I didn’t seem to have the strength or authority to do so. On Facebook, Gabriel Patrick Barry attacked you. I remained silent, even though I thought the attack was unjustified. Again I’m deeply sorry!! You chose to unfriend me, and although this hurt me, I totally understood, and unreservedly forgive you.❤️ An irony is that I haven’t heard from brother Barry much since then. He seemed to have issues to resolve at the time, and he wasn’t attacked any of my other friends on Facebook. If he did so, I would have to tell him enough is enough and reluctantly unfriend him. God bless him! I’m not asking you to friend me on Facebook again, perhaps it’s best to keep it as it is. I pray that you might let me have contact in other ways(such as this comment on this wonderful video!). If someone attacks you, and I can comment on it, I WILL defend you!! (Perhaps using such weapons as this video!). Sorry for this long comment, but offering this apology is very important to me. Your work for the Church is very important and must continue!! God bless you!!🙏❤️

I Love How sister Vassa got Photograph of St John of S&SF

[@linny3260]

Is that St John Maximovitch on the bookcase

[@tab207]

I went to college in Nyack, sister

[@kaloudasotirakoglou7592]

So true his words. This is why the orthodox Greek church people are not so responding to orthodoxy it’s more like a habit. Our priests our monks and sisters should be more like Saint Kosma the Etolo because of him we didn’t loose our language and word of god. When we lived in slavery by the Turks he creates the secret schools

Hi sister Vassa I love you and abbot Tryphon soooo much❤. I've been watching you for a while now and you bring joy and comfort somehow to me. I am born in the Orthodox faith and you have helped me so much to understand my faith as my Greek is ok but English is my first language. I have also been watching Geron Nektarios (greece).May the Holy Trinity bless you both and your works and your viewers. Greetings from Sydney Australia.😎😊👍⛪✝️🇬🇷🇭🇲

[@ekaterini2957]

The monks do make awesome soap too -- I have to say it is lovely...

[@D-A-K]

I’d love to hear more about acquiring humility and appropriating some of these “hardcore” prayers (those repentant prayers with difficult language as Sr mentioned) for ourselves, without falling into self-loathing and beating oneself up. I think it has something to do with seeing both the depths of our sin and the loving forgiveness and acceptance of God. But I’m a newb so I don’t know 😉

[@VassaLarin]

You got it, Derek! Our very next interview, coming up this Saturday, will be with Professor Peter Bouteneff, author of "How to Be a Sinner"!

[@D-A-K]

@@VassaLarin Great read!

[@petergunn9149]

Our lord Jesus Christ Son of God have Mercy Upon me a Sinner ☦️ Always say or keep this in our thoughts ☦️ The prayer of the heart☦️

[@ekaterini2957]

This is amazing! I have been following you both -- such a beautiful thing to see you both together!. Sounds like you need to make a trip out to Vashon Island, dear Sister Vassa. 'Course if you want to stop in Houston on the way you always have a place to stay :).

You have the photo of that most adorable saint St John!!

[@Cometmiss]

This was the best! Sr. Vassa, come to Sacramento!

[@kristakimbrell7382]

I love this guy! You to Sister Vassa. Warm fuzzies all around.

[@kristakimbrell7382]

I am disappointed. I came here to learn but its mostly political rhetoric. That's to bad. Let me know if it goes back to teaching only.

[@genesiskeglar6372]

@@kristakimbrell7382 This was really a conversation. If you’re not used to how these types of interactions on YT usually go, it may seem off. But I enjoy being a conversational voyeur so I can pick up on things here and there, without expecting something scripted/point by point. Pretty casual, but much to pick up on if you’re the right kind of listener.

[@aquiladavid5681]

Smashing that like button and sharing everywhere! Thank you both for having this conversation.

[@zaramarkaryan8821]

So happy to see my favorite people. ❤️

[@smittycity42]

Y'all should talk again sometime soon!

[@margelatutrandafirulgalben3156]

It is posible to make these interviews without sister Vasa? Thank you.
