Pray for me father. In a month or so I shall be driving to my first parish. I am a mere teenager and hope to show my parents truth. I have grown up in a Baptist home and hope to live a monastic life in a nearby monastery. I again ask father to pray for me. I pray as well for those not and are reading this to seek truth always. Christos anesti.

[@robynmarler1951]

Thankyou🌄

[@andreigl]

God bless you. In my opinion (and experience): don't try to show the truth to others, be them your parents. Try to live in Christ (and He is The Truth and the Life and the Way) , and Christ and the Holy Spirit will do the work of showing the truth to those around you. There is a big temptation behind us wanting to show the truth (our truth...) to others. Be blessed, God bless you and don't forget you go to Church for Christ and not for humans (I myself am a sinner and tend to disappoint people at times...).

Thank you, Father! I have an unrelated prayer request for anyone willing. I've been offered a full time paid position at my local homeless shelter where I've been volunteering for a short while. The work is obviously very difficult but very rewarding. Please pray that I may discern God's will for me, and that if this is His will for me, may He grant me the strength and grace to endure the challenges that will come.

The little shepherd's hut feels like an embrace. Like my grandmother's embrace, something terribly tender, loving and protective. It is only made of wood and the icons are traditional peasants' icons on glass (a local tradition from Romania) but the grace of God that abides with us through the Sacraments does not mind a humble dwelling ❤️

[@anjuorthodoxsoul]

Oh, what a beautiful alleluia at the start of the video! So peaceful over there, what a beautiful place! "It is Christ himself praying in you, to the Father". These words changed my perspective on prayer. I never thought about it like that but indeed it is Christ in our soul praying to the Father! I struggle with consistently praying throughout the day but I will keep that line close in heart when I pray. Reading the Psalms keeps me grounded & calm, and I feel more peaceful inside and is another way for me to start getting ready to pray after reading psalms. Oh, how I pray the Holy Spirit teaches me to pray better each day! I love the idea of saying a little prayer here and there, when looking at someone, entering a room, beginning a task, etc. is beautiful! I know that if I do this practice, I will start with no trouble being able to pray more consistently throughout each day which is my struggle at the moment. God bless you Father! I hope you are blessed and keeping well! Thank you for sharing! ❤

[@mullmonastery]

My dear one, the more you open yourself to prayer, the more it will force its way through the little openings we allow it. Don't get legalistic about when and how (remain in the calmness of the Psalms) and don't worry about that moment of 'great prayer' - that will come with absolute certainty, because it is a gift from God and God longs to offer this gift to us as much (if not more) than we long to receive it. Just do the little things you can, Christ's love will do the rest.

Once again I am wondering how deep is that well of wisdom and enlightenment that exists within you. I have noticed during my life how prayer can be mundane for a long time, and, then comes a prayer bursting from my lips. I did not know that prayer comes from God, I thought it came from me. I am excited about this and will have to ponder and process this revelation. Thank you my dear Father Aldea. Since the first time I heard you, you have been nothing but blessings to me. God love your "little creature's" heart and soul.

[@mullmonastery]

My dear one, the depth of prayer comes when Christ and us are united in His Love and God Himself loves the world from within us. We become springs of prayer and eternal life because we become one with Him Who Is by His nature the Spring of All Life. There is a beautiful morning prayer of the Optina Fathers which contains this line: 'Lord, teach me how to pray. Pray Yourself in me'

[@colmwhateveryoulike3240]

@@mullmonastery I found two beautiful prayers under the name of the Optina Elders, the one of which you speak of also being known under the name of St Philaret of Moscow, so I will copy them both here for anyone who wishes to read them. Morning Prayer of Philaret of Moscow Sometimes referred to as the "Morning Prayer of the Optina Elders." O Lord, grant me to greet the coming day in peace, help me in all things to rely upon your holy will. In every hour of the day reveal your will to me. Bless my dealings with all who surround me. Teach me to treat all that comes to throughout the day with peace of soul and with firm conviction that your will governs all. In all my deeds and words, guide my thoughts and feelings. In unforeseen events, let me not forget that all are sent by you. Teach me to act firmly and wisely, without embittering and embarrassing others. Give me strength to bear the fatigue of the coming day with all that it shall bring. Direct my will, teach me to pray. And you, yourself, pray in me. Amen. The Morning Prayer of the Last Elders of Optina O Lord, grant that I may meet all that this coming day brings to me with spiritual tranquility. Grant that I may fully surrender myself to Thy holy Will. At every hour of this day, direct and support me in all things. Whatsoever news may reach me in the course of the day, teach me to accept it with a calm soul and the firm conviction that all is subject to Thy holy Will. Direct my thoughts and feelings in all my words and actions. In all unexpected occurrences, do not let me forget that all is sent down from Thee. Grant that I may deal straightforwardly and wisely with every member of my family, neither embarrassing nor saddening anyone. O Lord, grant me the strength to endure the fatigue of the coming day and all the events that take place during it. Direct my will and teach me to pray, to believe, to hope, to be patient, to forgive and to love. AMEN.

I find that I cannot wait to pray, but there are things preventing me like from doing so. Mostly it's people that are keeping me from praying. I understand that people are important, but I have come to love and protect my prayer time so much that I get short and irritable when people won't stop talking and let me alone. Selfish, I know.

[@mullmonastery]

There is nothing selfish in wanting to pray, dear one. Christ Himself taught us to withdraw from those around us in order to pray. But you are right, you should try to respond to their constant distraction with love and patience, especially if they are unable to understand what they are doing. In time, this may be the process by which you learn to love and to forgive, and you may see that the little prayer you do manage to say will feel stronger and more filled with love. The love we give to those around us is the open door through which we receive Christ's Endless Love for us.

[@materdeimusicd.buckley2974]

I sympathize. I remember trying to train myself in prayer when my children were younger. It was so difficult. If my husband and I got up early, they heard us, and got up also. I had to look to God for help. I regret the times I got impatient with them. Some have left the Church, and I often think those moments of impatience certainly didn't encourage them to stay. Now, I can only pray to God about them. I have to leave them in God's hands. Ask God to show you how to make this time. It might not happen immediately. Also, forgive, love these distracting people. They obviously need you, and being kind to them is God's will, as you have discerned. It's great you have a desire to pray. Keep nourishing your soul with the Word of God, and good preaching, like you hear on this channel. God will guide you to the right time and place. I found, that meeting people to pray, made it easier. We made a rule, pray . Chat over cuppa afterwards. Hope this helps.

I really needed to hear this. Special the part about thre need of prayer by the heart. Because I have feelt long time in my heart to connect to Christ. The longing, the thirst. I have stopped to be in any churches fue years back because I was in a dark places. And struggling to find "the right" church. So I gave up. But in fue days now I have just felt I dont want to belong to any churcher just only belong to God and follow Christ in smal steps.

[@pdstor]

Father, if I may add a humble and perhaps foolish? addition to your advice on a short prayer that may work for everyone; I recommended it to my best friend, my stormchasing partner who recently became a Calvinist Christian. Say when you have this movement to pray (or even if you don't!) the Sinner's Prayer of the Parable of the Pharisee and Tax Collector: "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, be merciful to me a sinner." Or if you Cross yourself: "Christ (forehead) Son of God (navel) be merciful to me (right shoulder) a sinner (left shoulder)."

Lo and behold - in a crazy world - a song and a groan: a monastic soul. In loneliness silently to God crying out and with noisy-sweetness quelling all my doubts. Treasury of trembling hope: ,,You could save them all...'' gathers all your tears, shatters all your bones. By the Spirit to be trampled - your being you have spread - Longing a ,,reward'' - forgiveness for the dead.

Thank you so very much for this guidance as I am a catechumen and am attending catechism classes in preparation for baptism in future. My favorite prayer is the Nicene Creed because it is how I rationalize my decision between Roman Catholicism and Orthodoxy. I used to listen to listen to pop music in my 2 hour walk but I now use the 2 hours as I am walking to pray the Creed as my dedication to the Father Almighty.

[@Julie-qk9tp]

WOW and DOUBLE WOW!!! This video from you is the most powerful, magnificent and enlightening wisdom that you have shared with us. Thank you so so much for sharing your experience and insights. Your incident where you purposed the cross on a steamy window and viewed the world through it and imagining a small cross on peoples foreheads were both amazing. Your pearls of advice are truly worth more than any precious jewels on this earth. I will take these and apply them. Also, lastly but the most important to myself, is your advice on prayer as since coming to Christ I have tried to pray but seem to have a 'prayer block' but I will now take Bible verses which speak to me and start with just praying those to Christ together with The Lord's Prayer. Thank you once again for this most beautiful video. 💚💙💜 GO IN CHRIST EVERY DAY 🤍🤍🤍

[@mullmonastery]

Glory be to God for all good things, dear Julie.The Lord's Prayer is so beautiful and so profound, so much more than we realise. If you also add the Jesus Prayer (or the Prayer of the Heart, as it is also known) - 'Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner' - your heart will soon learn to pray even when your mind is unable to follow it in prayer. Be blessed, dear one, be blessed.

Hello again Seraphim Aldea. Thank you for your reply. I just wanted to say that your loveliness (Christ shinning through you) is beautiful.
