The Prophecy of St. Anatole the Younger

(Excerpt from Russia's New Martyrs and the Catacomb Church, Lesson 5: The Lives and Witness of the New Martyrs (1917-1927))

[@alteredcatscyprus]

Let nothing ever seperate us from Christ, please. I cannot imagine anything worse. Truly, the terror I would feel without Christ would be unbearable. I pray for courage and faithfulness for us all.

[@abrahamkassis3138]

The best thing i have ever heard pertaining to issues today regarding "conspiracies" was from you Fr. " not only should we believe in them but we have experienced them for 2000 years! Look at the Saints and martyrs!" The amount of eyes I have opened just by that statement alone...

[@krazyturtle69]

Hey it's Zacharias. That new catechuman convert. Great video keep it up. I'm learning so much. Thank you for your work. God bless.

[@D100-z1g]

Your blessings father. Your work is heroic. Satan is in charge now. Especially for us here in Melbourne Australia

[@Kyriakyriaki-onlyaservant]

Please do not despair. God will not leave you. Keep praying. I am praying for all my brothers and sisters.

[@crownedbee5840]

@Silent Christian indeed he came!!!

[@Fa-pb5nn]

Our Heavenly Father is indeed shaking everything up. Looks like Las Palmas could slip into the sea. If this happens, a Tsunami possibly 3000ft high will hit the East Coast of the US. The media does not seem overly concerned with this possibility All that matters is that we make it back to Heaven. We are united in prayer 💞 wherever you are in Australia, myself and others will be praying for you today. God bless you, keep strong and do not let them drive you into despair. God is in charge. I woke in the morning 2 years ago, it was the Autumn. I heard these words " In two year's time the United States of America will become a Dictatorship." At the time I thought everything was ok, but time has shown us that this looks like it is coming to pass. I tell you this because Our Heavenly Father prepares us and warns us, even in our times. God remains the same. We need to be strong and full of love. We need to fast and pray. The communists tried to rip fasting from the Church during the Bolshevic revolution. This is because it is powerful. This is something we can all do. God bless you abundantly with His grace and love xxx

As a new catachumen, I thank you! ☦

[@vadermasktruth]

I'm reading the new book of him from Saint Herman's Press. It's beautiful, all the Optina Elders are! I've been studying the Eastern Orthodox Church, monasticism, and Mount Athos for several years now. I'm a Roman Catholic brother from Detroit and I love your channel, Father!

[@stavrouladeessegloria]

May we all have your blessings Father Peter ☦️ May the Holy Spirit help us all to stand before Christ and to keep struggling to remain faithful and not to follow the hirelings shepherd, the sweet deceitful words of the heretics. Thank you Father Peter for reminding us all☦️❤️

[@Andrew-yw6kt]

This is all going to work out fine. Keep the faith baby!

Father Peter, we beg you to continue to be a light to the true teachings of our Lord in these times of apostasy.

[@nicolaj622]

Dear Father, thank you so much for just being a sheperd! The Lord guided me to this Well of Truth and Faith when I was desperate, Glory to God for all things!

[@Thetruthisnoteasy]

Thank you and bless, Father. I find this video hugely instructive and helpful, especially the prophetic witness which we indeed dismiss to our peril

[@spartacus9311]

Thank you ! Like you said in a previous video, the church is not the clurgy, the church is the saints. Archbishop Elpidophoros is not the church ! There are many distractions today, so thank you for this.

[@christopherwilliams9585]

God bless us and give us the discernment necessary to see when these times come if they are not already here

[@2greeksandacamera]

This that Fr. Peter shares is well worth our time to take into our hearts, minds and souls, and is VERY relevant - from the higher perspective - for us to better understand the evil chaos going on right now. The old saying, that the rotten apple spoils all the apples in the barrel comes to mind. We are seeing that our church’s worst bitter apples are at the top of the barrel. What Fr. Peter says is so true as he quotes the scriptures “they will be known by their fruits.” May God guide us to carry on as Fr. Peter says and praise God in all things as we struggle to proclaim the gospel of Jesus the Christ. All glory to God in the highest as we cast seeds of the holy gospel even with our last breadths.

[@tasospapanastasiou4240]

God works his will in so many many ways! Blessed are those that believe without seeing! Glory to God almighty! Jesus we love you! 🙏

[@Stephen-uz8dm]

Thank you Father. May God bless you and keep you.

[@nc4042]

All Glory be to God for all your work Father 🙏🏼

[@eliasandrinopoulos8746]

Amazing work, thank you, Father. Here in Boston the churches are open again and I have been assisting in Sunday school (7 & 8th graders). Your work and the material you share allows those of us who are not as spiritually well versed to be able to impart a greater part of the Faith than we otherwise would be able to, LHM. ☦️🙏🏻

[@simonedmondson9419]

God bless you Father. Another edifying and and timely presentation! 🙏

[@Hope_Boat]

Lord protect you Church here in Greece and all over the world from the wolves in sheep clothing. Kyrie eleison

[@vessietaylor]

I've seen this creeping in the churches in America. I've seen fear in the pastors who stopped preaching. I've picked up homeless men or sat with men who said they was an apostle or pastor. I've been Shhhh'ed by the elders who should know better but doesn't want to cause trouble... I was trouble, I could see that coming. I left to let them keep their peace their way. Now, I see the Holy of Holies are under influence. I feel if I keep fasting I will become a skeleton and my prayers are in sand. Another reason to not be stirred but pray to be strong and courageous for what we about to recieve for the Glory is in how well we endure the times. May grace cover all. 💔

[@gerardgrywacheski1418]

O Venerable Anatoly the Younger, pray for us sinners!!!☦️🙏 o Venerable Elders of Optina, pray for us sinners!!☦️🙏

Thank you Father Peter. God Bless you and your family.

[@marianistazos5185]

Your blessings Father. You do great faithful education to all especially to the younger generation who may not read or understand the Greek language well. May God protect you and your family and all humanity from this Evil Agenda! 🙏🙏🙏 Kind Regards from Northern Australia.

2 Timothy 3:1-5 But understand this: there will be terrifying times in the last days. People will be self-centered and lovers of money, proud, haughty, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, irreligious, callous, implacable, slanderous, licentious, brutal, hating what is good, traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, as they make a pretense of religion but deny its power. Reject them.

[@joannorton775]

So good. Can’t wait till your classes start again. 🔥

[@michellestamper5527]

coming over from occultism and now a catechumen. One of my personal concerns is that many Orthodox Christians are very unaware of just how razor/ hair thin the difference between orthodoxy and occultism are, even "cradle" Orthodox. It's a total inversion of EVERYTHING, even the word occult. There is no mystery like they claim they have, and nothing genuine. All of the saints I've explored thus far that have spoken on this topic in general have been spot on as to what is happening at large spiritually and socially. Orthodox Christianity is by no means an exception to being destroyed, appropriated, and destroyed, and many organizations and groups, occult and secular, are getting better and better at appearing much like Orthodoxy , but the most danger comes from inside the church because It's much like tracking in dog droppings then wondering why people are getting sick. I don't want that horrible fate of being separated from Christ for others, most of all myself, knowing full well the spiritual damage that can cause, thank you for sharing this.

[@Orthodoxi]

It is such a simple and normal thing to be with our Father. Like breath. That this has been effectively distorted so those seeking the Father today are terrorized, even this having been faced and defeated by our Lord already of course, without the true Church and its keepers for shelter, is very, very hard. But God has clearly already made a way for this time. Any one who seeks and believes in spite of it all, will find. Though it be little, it is more. All Glory to God.

[@Andrew-yw6kt]

Some things need to change.

[@lauri_with_cats]

thank you. God bless ☦

[@MarcusBarnabassisSystersSonne]

Thank you, Fr Peter

[@BodilessVoice]

Never conflate those who cease commemoration with those who set up parallel (schismatic) jurisdictions. The former is a necessary practice, given by the holy canons, and most perfectly exemplified by nearly all of the Athonite fathers for much of the 20th century. The latter is a grave sin, the sin of schism, and must NEVER be conflated with canonical practice.

[@MsConnie131]

Thank you Father.🙏

[@danielvanderkolk2069]

Awesome content!

[@BodilessVoice]

This prophecy refers to the present state of most Athonite monasteries. They have become schismatics, by continuing to commemorate their schismatic hierarch. If they were to cease commemoration, in keeping with the example of their holy Athonite forefathers, most notably the Blessed Elder Gabriel Dionysiatis (1886-1983), they would likely be put off of the Holy Mountain by force, losing their worldly goods and residence within those marvelous ancient monasteries (while nevertheless receiving crowns in Heavenly Kingdom).

[@john_ron]

What to do if all the Orthodox churches around me are led by heretics? Would the sacraments still be valid?

[@OrthodoxEthos]

Better to give us examples. Generally, before a synodical decision, when the struggle against the heresy is still being carried out, we should not doubt the mysteries of even those who are clearly not teaching Orthodoxy. It is Christ who gives and is given in and through the church, even when those clergy are falling away from Christ. They do not have the power in themselves, and they themselves are not giving Christ. They are simply extending their hands, and Christ is working through them in the mysteries. If we doubt the mysteries we doubt the church and we doubt Christ. We have to make a distinction between the two.

[@Im_No_Expert_72]

Yes

[@patrickbarnes9874]

I wonder if this is a "both and" situation where it applied to the situation with the communists in Russia and also applies to our situation with the secular progressives in today's society.

[@telemarq7481]

"If you live to see that time, rejoice, for at that time the faithful, not possessing other virtues will recieve wreaths merely for standing in faith..." does this not accord with the Lutheran doctine of Solo Fide?

[@OrthodoxEthos]

Standing in faith is a very hard work and task which one has to continually struggle at and it’s a process not a decision only.

[@telemarq7481]

@@OrthodoxEthos Thankyou very much for responding. I hope you will accept that the last thing i wanted was to cause offence. I renounced my faith over 20 years ago and am now trying to return to it. I am in many ways like the Prodigal Son, but for people like me, when we view the various churches (my own, the one i was baptized into, was the Anglican Church) their is no 'Father', no 'Home' to return to. I greatly admire your views and position. I started to attend a Coptic Orthodox Church in my home town of Plymoth UK and am getting the feeling that they would not agree with you. They continue to wear masks, socially distance and 'booking' a place at the Liturgy is required. I don't know where to turn.............

[@jakeney7174]

16:00 in is basically describing Vatican 2s error

[@ChristIsKingPhilosophy]

All the condemnation reminds me of Fr. Damick's hypocrisy. I wish I could call it something else. Blessings Father.

[@OrthodoxEthos]

Sorry?

[@ChristIsKingPhilosophy]

​@@OrthodoxEthos I'm sorry if I didn't express myself well, English is not my native tongue. I've been enquiring on the Orthodox Church for a few years and I've been exposed to Fr. Andrew Damick's (from AFR) dereliction of his duty to the faith, his left-wing bias, and his catering to the secular and progressive agenda. So your condemnation of those things reminds me of him.

[@nickvoutsas5144]

Strict worship does not equal salvation.The Pharisees prayed and fasted and when it came to traditions they were exemplary. Do you realise you are preaching the same teachings of the Pharisees. The Jesus called the religious fakes serpents and fathers of the devil, I am not against holy traditions,I am not against Fasting and continual prayers. What i am for is truth in Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit. Be innocent in your faith,repent and forgive but most of all seak meaning in truth.

[@oanagrossu1532]

You might have put the prophecy of the Saint in MUCH BETTER ENGLISH, most reverend one. Also, do sth about YOUR TONE/SOUND & INFLECTION OF VOICE: It DOES NOT bespeak PIETY.
