5. THANK YOU: TrisagionFilms is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization whose mission is to bring the Orthodox faith to all by presenting tangible theology through original videos and articles, all to the glory of God.

I do not comment very often to KZbin videos, however I felt a pull to do so today. As a practicing Sikh, I wanted to show love to my orthodox Christian brothers at Trisagion Films. Each of these, beautiful souls documented in the 'Chronicles of the Desert' is truly inspiring. From the imagery to the narration, it is so meticulously crafted so the viewer may experience a yearning for the Lord. We are living in a material world that is turning its back on God, it is so refreshing to see the effort of Trisagion Films, which is trying to connect them back to God. Thank you kindly, may you continue your selfless service in a steadfast manner!

[@billo.5057]

Thank you brother. Be blessed!

[@theeternalempire7235]

The Lord steadfastly awaits your salvation, friend. Become Orthodox, consider it!

God bless you brother and may the Lord Jesus Christ son of God have mercy on me a sinner. ❤☦️

[@mariatsiaklides2454]

I find it so beautiful the way that saints relate to nature and animals. ❤ It's so sad that the importance of being kind to animals and taking care of the earth that God gave us is so often overlooked. We may be uniquely created in His image and likeness, but we are all His creation. Thank you for another beautiful video! 🙏☦

[@swahiliorthodoxchants]

Just how beautiful is heaven! Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

[@American-Jello]

As usual, Trisagion has knocked it out of the park. Every time I get a notification from this channel I get excited, because #1 I'm going to learn something new, #2 I'm going to be fed spiritual food, and #3 I'm going to enjoy it Every time, without fail. Great job Team Trisagion! So much appreciation for the work y'all do!

I listened to this with my 8 year old. You are helping people to love God and the Saints. My son (Isaac, patron Saint Isaac the Syrian) was mesmerized throughout the entire video. Thank you so much for the work you do. Glory to God for and in all things! ☦️☦️☦️❤️❤️❤️

Just letting you know that my daughter loved this video. We are exploring Orthodoxy and these videos are so helpful.

[@ChristInMeEternity]

I saw once a picture of them and found it inspiring. Knowing the story I see the beauty in the bond of humen and animals. It reminds me of my sister, having a strong bond with her cat. Something about it, that feels more like love than any human is capable of.

[@HannahHarbourDeep]

I adore the Desert Chronicles and have deep gratitude for their teachings. Thank you for bringing this wisdom to us.

Perfect picture of how union with GOD restores mans relationship with every creature. All creation longs for this. Good work. I have a question How do animals have wisdom if they have no reasoning ability.

We are recent converts from Catholicism and loving these amazing Orthodox Christian stories. Great job!

[@godislove1776]

What an amazing story. It uplift our spiritual life.

[@sac1303]

It will not be possible for humans to have peace on earth as long as we use and abuse fellow animals. Just think - if people are at peace in heart and mind, who would be willing to kill a fellow being? We now know, that animal-based foods ruin our health. This was a beautiful story. Thanks for sharing.

[@gintonic3625]

To think that even the lion was eating lentils, amazing! More than ever I feel that following a plant based diet is the right thing to do. The lives of the saints and holy men of God, so beautiful and inspiring, it really moved me to tears.

[@evkoum]

​@gintonic3625 the change does not come from diet, but from fasting, spirit and body communion. Let us be careful to both and not only on eating meat....unless we end up as heretics.

[@josefreire6122]

You fed me today a great spiritual food. Thank you and Glory to the Almighty.

So beautiful. What a lovely bond between Abba Gerasimos and his lion, Iordanis. It reminds me of the story of St John Bosco and his grey wild wolf Grigio. 🥲🧡

[@berightsittight1276]

❤ONE LOVE ❤️

[@lindaphillips4646]

We read about saints, who, falsely accused, quietly, and humbly endure criticism or a punishment until the Lord reveals their innocence, and not only restores them to their former place or higher, but also reveals their humility and saintliness.. And here the lion fulfills that saintly role.. Oh, how wonderful.. What all such stories also point to is our longing to be restored to Paradise and the relationship that Adam and Eve had at first with the animals in the Garden..

[@theprotestantmonastery]

Wow so much gratitude, if it was a snake 🐍 could have been another story.

[@Trisagionfilms]

One of saint Paisios' best friends was a snake :)

[@ejchakaodza]

@Trisagion Films Wow, I can't even look at the snake oh no! I hope to hear such a story.

[@Trisagionfilms]

​@@ejchakaodza One day a man came to see Saint Paisios and when he arrived Paisios was very angry and said to him "You killed my friend!" the man was stunned and said "elder I haven't killed anyone" It turns out that the man had killed a snake on his way to see him and St. Paisios was friends with the snake.

Ive been a postie bike rider for a round half a year now. For whatever reason, the sound of a Honda CT110 drives almost all dogs mad and vicious. Ive realised ive come to despise them, as ive been attacked several times now. if Only I could learn to love them and all creation and be grateful, perhaps they too would be kind to me.

[@gheorghe-mariusbuburuzan2545]

Another example is Saint Paisios and Bayum (the frog). An amazing lesson about true obedience. Anyone can google it.
