I'd rather listen to a thousand imperfect heartfelt carols than ones that were just words delivered perfectly in tune. This was the best carol service I have listened to in a long time.
Glory be to God, dear one. It is always an act of humility posting these annual carols - we have to make ourselves vulnerable and do what we do out of love, not because we are good at it :)
This was my own gift today. I am caring for my partner who has cancer, and I am so busy and so sad. I'm a professional musician; every note was so very much appreciated by me- especially the missed ones. It made me cry because it's so pure. 🙏 holy holy holy
6 years ago I was facing Christmas with cancer. I was told it would be my last. I prayed and thanked God for my life and asked him to heal me if it was His will and told Him I accepted his will in my life. My family were trying to hide their sorrow when they were around me. Rejoice as much as possible, don't let cancer take a second from your lives. Prayers for you both.
May you and your beloved ones be embraced in Christ' Love, dear one. May the darkness of this world grow no roots in your hearts, and may you rejoice (now and in eternity) in the beauty of the Kingdom.
And trust. Unshakeable trust that Christ will find a way through it all to save us, if we allow Him to work His salvation in us. A blessed Christmas, dear one
God bless you all, Father Seraphim. My son is only 1, but whenever I watch your videos, he very much enjoys going up to the screen to listen and look at you. My family is new to orthodoxy, and it's wonderful to see my child be so taken with your videos, even if only understanding in spirit. God bless you all at Mull and Iona Monastery! Love from Daniel & Chanel Stephens in Texas ❤️🔥
May God bless you all, dear Chanel, and may Christ keep your son (and us all) in His Love and protection through the darkness of this world and into the Light of the world to come.
Thank you Father. You reminded me as one my own priest said in a sermon. "Joy and love are a choice" I will choose that today and the coming days. I am an old lady who will celebrate Christmas alone, I miss my parents I long to go home, but I will choose joy. Pray for me, please. This is beautiful. 🌲🌹❤
I'll be on my own too (this will be the 7th year) and I shall think of you, and others who are alone that day, and raise a glass of something non-alcoholic to you all🙂 edited to add that none of us are truly alone as we have our Lord Jesus with us🙏
May God bless you, dear one. There are so many lonely people in this world - some like yourself, others who are alone in their own families, not loved, not supported or even worse. In a sense, we are all alone until we discover Christ within us. Once we feel His love in our hearts, loneliness becomes different, still a cross, but one easier to carry forward. All our love in Christ, dear one.
I Hooe the words of St Herman of Alaska comfort you..." I am not alone, God is here as everywhere, and the Angels too. There is no better company". God bless you with Joy in your heart this Christmas time ❤
A Blessed feast of the Nativity to you and Mull monastery. God bless you all abundantly as you have blessed me. Glory to be God! Christ is born, glorify Him!
Thank you, Fr. Seraphim and community. There is nothing more beautiful than a caroling from men and women who have deficated their lives to God and to a life of prayer. Your voices reaching far beyond your monastic walls are like little beams of light penetrating the darkness of this world. Thank you for sharing the light you all receive from God to rhe rest of the world.
Oh Dear Abbot Seraphim and all the Monastics from Mull and Iona Monasteries. I am thankful to God to see with my own eyes the reality of a vision that I was introduced to in 2017. And how beautiful the Church is! (You are radiant in Christ) Glory to God in the Highest! Christ is Born, Glorify Him!🎄☦️
I am so happy to har from you, dear Photine! I have not seen you in our online meetings and I was getting worried. Please stay well, healthy and your own joyous self :)
No person has ever been perfect Father. Except one person Our Lord Jesus Christ. All of us are made in his image so are our voices. Your voices my not be perfect but you all brought Joy to my heart. ❤ 🙏
We struggle so much every year, we prepare for weeks in advance, but two things happen like clockwork: we never sound like we had hoped :) AND we are SO very joyous recording these carols
Thank you Fr Seraphim and all of the monastics that sang. These are very beautiful Christmas songs and were given to us in Love. I and many among us wish you a blessed feast of Nativity. Joy is difficult at times but I will intentional put everything aside and focus on the joy of the coming of Christ the Messiah.
God bless all of you. Thank you for being one of the joyful parts of our year. Your performance was gorgeous. Holiness and perfection aren’t the same thing, as another religious youtube channel recently pointed out.
I am happy to listen to your heartfelt songs of love for Jesus' birthday! I really like the way you sing, connecting with Jesus, who gave us the breath of life and loves us very much. You praise the Lord with every breath you take, and with beautiful songs, and it is wonderful. .May God bless your life! I wish you a joyful, grace-filled, blessed Christmas! ♥ With prayerful love, Editke (from Hungary)
Yes I like that instrument, the hammer string thing . But honestly. Singing top shelf. The birds of Mull, must be pleased , listening to this coming from inside. I play percussion, for God. Peace today, tomorrow, to Eternity. Amen ❤😊❤😊
🙏✝️ God forgive our sins ✝️God thank you for all ✝️ God give us Wisdom, Peace, Unity, Health , Strength ✝️ Blessed be Virgin Mary, and Jesus-Christ, the 9 groups of Angels, and all the Saints 🌐⛪✝️🙏🕯️🕯️🕯️🕊️✨
Thank you! After a month of Romanian Carols in the church, it is great to finally hear some that I understand. Now that I am sick and can't go to church...
christ is born. Far from perfect? Well, I enjoyed it very much and i believe, our Lord Jesus did aswell. May your monastery be blessed. May humanity find peace in christ. Amen.
I’m not Christian of any denomination or “religious” for that matter but I applaud your perfectly imperfect singing. It’s a nice way to step away from all the madness and noise that this time of year can bring
Be blessed and joyous, dear one. religious or not, you are a human being and your worth and beauty (as one created in the image of Christ) is beyond the worth of anything else. Stay safe and joyous!
Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦. I pray you will have a blessed and peaceful Christmas. Jesus’ birth is presence begun. Jesus is our true saviour. He came to forgive sins. I rejoice in his presence. Thank you Fr. Seraphim for your videos and reflections over the past year.

OK Father . If you insist. I'll be Joyful, by surrounding me with my Icons and music. Like anger a negative emotion is spread easily, I pray I gain.Joy, from the Holy Spirit. Singing vastly improved. And music beautiful. SINGING IS JOYFUL. ❤😊
Not at all imperfect dear Father, rather, charming as always. The charm is more when the carols come from the holy mouths of God's little ones. I appreciate them more. Love and light to each of you. 🎄
