In 20 short years of being Orthodox, the accomplishments of this man cannot be overstated. He translated complex RUssian theological works from prestigious figures in the Orthodox world. Two years after being received into the Church, he was blessed by St. John of Shanghai to establish a press with an archaic hand-cranked printing press, and line-by-line composed thousands of lines of *English material* for inquirers into Orthodoxy which up until that point had been mostly neglected by the Russian and Greek-speaking diaspora on American soil. He established a monastery, with *no electricity* in the wilderness of California (Platina), hauled the printing press up a gigantic mountain with an old truck that barely worked, spent countless hours reading and writing in the spirit of the Holy Fathers and completely absorbed their teaching and imparted it flawlessly, in the spirit of the Church to the English-speaking world. He built and maintained a monastery with no electricity and formed a brotherhood of monks while he spent every waking second absorbed in some writing, translating, or printing project or another all whilst teaching catechism to American students who were interested in Orthodoxy... 17 years at his monastery living a life of repentance and servitude in the wilderness was all the Lord required of him before he went home.

Wow, this is one of the first youtube styled documentaries that I actually sit down, begin watching and finish watching without feeling that my time has been robbed. You've earned a subscriber, great job.
Fr. seraphim rose had such a long impact in my life without knowing him too well early on. I have the many orthodox Christian’s to thank who were part of the perennialist/traditionalists groups for planting those seeds in my heart. Thank you for this video, brought me many tears of pain and joy ❤
You're even playing Ich Habe Genug in the background, Fr. Seraphim's favorite opera! You all are truly brilliant artists at Harmony! Thank you for this extreme blessing!
Father seraphim rose, the saint whos not yet been cannonized as a saint, the one man different from all. Truly he was a profound thinker and had a deeper understanding of what it means to not only be an orthodox christian, but how to love christ in its fullest compacity. He rejected modernity and ecumenism, Blessed seraphim rose, pray for america, pray for the world, pray for us sinners.
I'm a Catholic, but have a great love and admiration of the Orthodox church and its aestheticism. I went to a local Greek Orthodox Church for almost a year. The writings of Seraphim Rose really helped shape who I am today.
This is beautiful, I'm a Ortodox Christian myself to . Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me the siner for the prayers of Your Holy Mother and all Saints . Amin
I was binge watching videos on father Seraphim Rose today. Glory be to God, i have been called to Orthodoxy for a while now, and i'm pretty sure this video coming out now is no coincidence.
One of the first 5 books I read in Catechism was Saint Seraphim of Sarov. Awesome book , especially the back half where it is a letter he wrote. RIP Seraphim Rose 🌹 Living Eternally
Seraphim Rose is one of the most important figures in the development of my Orthodoxy. My journey towards it was similar to his and Orthodox Survival Course, Nihilism and Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future are amazing and I recommend them to any inquirer. Right now I’m during my catechumenate and I can’t wait until being fully admittes to the church.
The realm is still feminized and post modern. It didn’t matter who would win. Most men will still be gelded and effeminate. The core ethos of society is all of the “isms.”
Wow. I have never heard a video with Bach’s “Ich haben genug” (instrumentalized) in the background. What a gripping of the heart. Oh man. Wow. Thanks so much for that
Oh Lord that was what my sweet brother John said in the very brief note he left before he shot and killed himself only a couple of months ago. “I’m sorry, I’ve had enough.” My mother gave him to me for my birthday the year I turned three, in 1951. It has devastated me. John wasn’t made for the world as mean as it has become.
That was beautiful, thank you. I recently visited Saint Anthony's Monastery in Florence, AZ. The paritioners, icons, and vespers were all Greek. As a catechumin, I likely wouldn't have felt the calling towards Orthodoxy if that was my first experience- as culture and language play a big role. I probably would have gone back to the Lutheran church, who knows. The monastery I go to in New England and the Orthodox content I watch here make it accessible and relatable, steering me towards a more wholesome and Christ-centered life. I love your format and good works❤
4:40 to 5:50, is something I could relate to an extent. Coming from an Evangelical church with still feeling out of place and my soul almost feeling despair, I came and walked into the parish on a rainy day at Orthros, not knowing the structure of the Liturgy, but only coming to the faith to find truth and that my soul may finally find the nurturing it desperately needed. It felt like coming back home, despite it being my first time in there. Fast forward, I'll be Chrismated in the first Sunday of February, marking my first year within the Church. ☦
Similar with me in the beginning. I'm still wrestling with my secular life, fell back into a certain passion and it's hard to get out of. Pray for me please, and congratulations on your Chrismation.
Christ is either all we need or he is nothing at all. He is our home. Seeking peace in religion is the devils trick. You are free in Christ. Today is the day and now is the time.
@Rileyed agreed, as the disciple of the Apostle John has said, "“Wherever the bishop appears, there let the people be; as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church." To be able to get closer to Christ is to be within the Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church that he bestowed the Apostles to set up for the ages to come.
I'm not particularly religious but this came up randomly in my feed. What an absolutely beautiful 16 minutes that was. So tastefully done and a really cool story.
This is an amazing video. I didn't know Father (Saint) Serphaim Rose studied secular philosophies like Nietzsche and Alan Watts. It suprised me and this only grows me closer to Orthodoxy. He had all the philosophical knowledge in the world (dramatic but you get the point) and sacrificed himself for God. His story I hope can help open the heart of the many prideful "intellects" that I know. God bless you all. May He have mercy on us.
This is an excerpt of a longer article in which the Elders tell us why they don’t fear the Antichrist nor the apocalypse: One day Elder Porphyrios had told me: “Father Athanasios (taking me by the hand tightly), I’m blind now, my eyes do not work physically because I have cancer of the pituitary gland, but I have spiritual eyes and see. Before you leave, I want you to tell me, what did Elder Aemilianos say about 666 and the Antichrist?” This was in the days of Chernobyl. People were upset by this and went by the dozens every day, particularly to Elder Porphyrios near Athens, asking: “What will happen? Will the Antichrist come and stamp us with 666″? The Elder asked me: “Tell me, my child, what did Elder Aemilianos say about 666 and the Antichrist?” I told him: “He told us in a gathering a few days ago to not worry. We should be interested in having a vibrant relationship with Christ and not give much attention to the Antichrist, because then he will become the center of our lives and not Christ.” . . . He told me: “For us Christians, when we experience Christ there is no Antichrist. . . . When we have Christ inside us, can the Antichrist come? Can anything opposite this enter our souls? For this reason, my child, today we do not have Christ within us and because of this we worry about the Antichrist. When Christ is within us, everything becomes Paradise. Christ is everything, my child, and the Opposer we should not fear; this you should always tell people. . . . And you should tell the people to not fear the Antichrist. We are children of Christ, we are children of the Church.”
As a Pentecostal Christian, videos like these help me explore the humble and spiritual aspects of my faith. The emphasis of the necessity to suffer in Christ is essential for those who are true adherents to the faith, and I am glad that the message shown here is actually being taught in my church (a church my family founded), who seeks to do only the will of the Father and live by what our Lord Jesus taught us to do. God bless my Orthodox brothers and sisters, and to all Christians no matter the denomination, for we all are united in Christ.
The body of Christ cannot be separated. Unfortunately many Christian’s belong to the body that they are a part of. And most only exist as a body Rome. The Orthodox Church is the church of the first 1000 years. As an Orthodox Christian Man, it’s not a loving act for me to say all is well and that all churches and religions are the same. I beseech you to consider joining the orthodox church. I can personally attest that there is full grace to be found in the Orthodox Church. God bless you on your journey.
"I myself can accept the experience of Protestants being ‘born-again’ in Christ; I have met people who have changed their lives entirely through meeting Christ, and I cannot deny their experience just because they are not Orthodox. I call these people “subjective” or “beginning” Christians. But until they are united to the Orthodox Church they cannot have the fullness of Christianity, they cannot be objectively Christian as belonging to the Body of Christ and receiving the grace of the sacraments. I think this is why there are so many sects among them-they begin the Christian life with a genuine conversion to Christ, but they cannot continue the Christian life in the right way until they are united to the Orthodox Church, and they therefore substitute their own opinions and subjective experiences for the Church’s teaching and sacraments." - Bl. Fr. Seraphim Rose I would recommend his book "Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future" I think it will do you well.
To all who commented, I respect your opinions and appreciate your commentary on our Christian faith. We are all part of a church, that which is founded by Christ. It is not a building, or organization, or denomination, that makes a church but a common unity in Jesus, who we all agree came to the world as the Son of God, the Word, God incarnate, and loved us so much that he died on the cross and took away our sin so that through him, we can finally exist in union with God. Suffering and death will exist, and many people will use our religion as an excuse to harm others or use it as justification for others actions, snd I know their are debates between theology and what is the right way to worship, but the only thing that matters is that we seek Jesus, to preach and live like him, and to acknowledge that we are imperfect in every way yet he makes us perfect through him. I hope this does not spark any confusion or anger towards anyone and God bless you all.
@@joshthedirector No my friend, you are not right. Im a born and raised catholic, and left the Catholic Church, and joined the protestant church for 6 years I was there, and I was stuck on so many issues, when I read the Bible, I didnt see the true Church from the Bible in the protestant church, the Bible says be united in faith and doctrine, but the protestant church have 3000 + denominations which by default are not in unity, the amount of debates and hate between protestants was too much for me, they were not in unity over many things, so many thousands of different doctrine, and they all claim they have the truth, but when you study the early church teachings you will realise the protestant denominations are almost all wrong, and there can't be more truths, only 1 and its already been revealed to the early church. are there christians in the protestant church ofcourse! many love God with all their heart, but they are not part of the fullness of the true church they just dont know better, as a true believer you cannot be in this for too long, because when you read the word of God, you will wonder about the same things as I do and many others do, I would recommend you to take some time of any religious channels , and study all this for yourself, buy some good books, and read the Bible, but most importantly pray about it! I will pray for you Josh. 1 Corinthians 1:10 I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, *that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be PERFECTLY united in mind and thought* . Ephesians 4:12-14 12 for the equipment of the saints, for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, 13 *until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ; 14 so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine* , by the cunning of men, by their craftiness in deceitful wiles.
@5:20. It was at an Orthodox funeral that I had the same experince Fr. Seraphim had. In fact, the man whose funeral I discovered Christ in was a man who was one of Fr Seraphim Rose's spiritual sons - my spiritual father, Fr. Seraphim Cardoza. Memory eternal. Father Seraphim Rose, pray for us.
I'm March of 2020 I was going to bed and when I laid down I laid on my left side. I immediately felt someone grab me by my shoulder and I turned on my back. I looked up and a cloud when into my eyes and mouth. I immediately saw Jesus! I immediately heard a voice say Wormwood and Jesus raised he's hands and clapped them together and I saw a vision of a Rock coming to earth and it hit down by Florida. As soon as it hit I immediately saw another vision of a bright ball of light hit the Earth it was bigger than the Earth! It made a terrifying sound and I came out of the Spirit and went to sleep! Jesus is coming back soon! Repent and call upon the name of the Lord and ye shall be saved!
Once you realize The Truth is Christ, you discover that you are truly powerless, and you can do nothing to open another's eyes. It is truly only with faith of heart that we can know Him, The Truth, The Eternal Light. For even when The Truth walked amongst men, most still denied Him. If you will listen to me, then you don't need to, because you are ready to find The Truth.
I turned my back on the Lord God Almighty my world was coming undone, I told him with my middle fingers in the sky told him he doesn’t exist I don’t believe anyone. 1 yr and 8 months later I found myself on bended knees asking for forgiveness and another chance I was 29 and in the battle for my life, extensive Thyroid cancer I promised The Father Son and Holy Ghost that I would never shut my mouth to his Grace and Glory again . I’ll be 63 years old in a few weeks 12/24 Jesus Christ is King of Kings Matthew 6:24 🙏🕊️✝️🌹
I went to a medieval church in France and the walls were painted with a large monster devouring souls into the flames of hell. Apocalyptic scene. I can imagine how that scared people back then
Very strange - I am both new and old to Orthodoxy. Spoke to an Orthodox training for the Priesthood in Greece for the first time in the early 1990s when correspondence by e-mail was a new thing. And here I am in 2024, just becoming a catechumen. I was introduced to the name Fr Seraphim Rose rather early into my own research into Orthodoxy, but I did not know his life story. I came away from this short video in tears - he and I have so much in common, though generations apart. From the feeling of having been born in the wrong time - even told that I was born in the wrong place by some who got to know me as a teen. Being born into a Mormon family. serving a Mormon mission and looking for meaning and coming to the very first movement to the truth in what I learned there - even learning that a way of life you are born into is wrong is the start of a journey. As so many on that path often do, you start to search and I went everywhere - from vising Islamic and Jewish services to every form of Christianity I could find, even the Unitarians and the LGBT-based protestant denominations out of California. But it was all empty in one way or another. I became an agnostic atheist... on and on. It is like his life story or rather mine is just a play on words of his. Right down to the moment last year when I walked into an Orthodox Church in Kansas after not having darkened any door of any church of any kind for 11 years and I literally thought the very same sentence, "I have come home." Work has taken me about as far as possible from Kansas in that year. Visiting an Orthodox priest here is most difficult. That priest is most kind with me, allowing me to visit for Divine Liturgy and to speak as circumstance allows and to move at the pace that allows - which tends to be even slower than most Orthodox. Hours journey one way when my work is not kind to such long trips. So, I do not know what the future holds. I just hope that I can remain on earth long enough that the spot at Our Lord's table that was meant for me, I might be able to finally take and that for someone who has done so much to offend but tried so hard to not - that there might be one last bit of mercy for me when the time comes.
Father Seraphim Roses work is incredible. I highly recommend reading his books. His books brought me to God. I understood what he was saying in his book Nihilsm. It was exactly how I felt and explained why I felt that way. I cried a lot that week. Life is tough people. Pray and get to know your creator.

hey harmony just would like to know the name of the classical music that was playing at 6:05 minutes and if anyone knows it please just let me know, and for the video or the mini documentary was 👌🏾.
I have also studied the Tao for many years. Reading it over and over and practicing the I Ching. The Tao is rooted in truth but as I study orthodox Christianity and the real documented life of Christ. It seems as if Christ himself does show and represent a more palpable method of divinity than most other religions. I feel this monks struggle of learning and studying but still feeling emptiness. Thank you for making these videos. I truly enjoy your channel
I have the exact same feeling, I despise the modern world and modern society and people don’t understand it and make fun of me and I kinda live isolated. But I don’t mind because I have God at my side
Thank you God for reminding me why I feel so lost in this world. I always had wanted to tear myself away from this world and live in the wilderness. I never had the innards to pull it off. Now, at 62, married with family, my wilderness will become a garden on a subdivision lot and I will reconnect with Christ and leave as much of this world behind and rejoice when my departure arrives.
@@grey.knightya they have. The earth was last vreset in the 1700's after the mudflood. The millennial reign already happened. Then Satan was loosed in 1776. Hence the statue of liberty is obviously Lucifer with a chain around his ankle symbolizing being loosed. We are in revelations I think it's 20 or 21 I forget.
5:24 “….a new idea began to enter into my awareness: That truth was not just an abstract idea sought and known by the mind, but was something personal-even a person-sought and loved by the heart. And that is how I met Christ.”
Just become orthodox mate. It’s the continuation of the church of the first 1000 years. Also there was no papacy preached by the apostles nor did they proclaim themselves infallible. I can personally attest that there is full grace to be found in the Orthodox Church.
@thefirstbigsmokepopcat744 I agree. It's only catholic that evangelized and spread the Good News throughout the world. With the new age of internet and modernism travel, other denominations are starting to spread too. If you're in Brazil, and cant find orthodox, find the most traditional latin church or an eastern rite Catholic (exact same divine liturgy as orthodox).
Both are good options both are Catholics. The philosophy of orthodoxy is a little more uplifting but Roman Catholicism is easier imo. Their sacraments on the outside seem more well defied/ easier to get into. Less of a culture shock. But regardless the sacraments of both are backed scientifically to be good you can't go wrong with either. You can always continue a spiritual journey in once church and end up in another
Dear Harmony I have found spiritual cultivation in your videos to better hear Christ through the stories of those who seemed closest to him until death. You are an extremely talented storyteller and filmmaker and I respect your orthodox doctrine as a devout traditional catholic who attends The Tridentine Mass every Sunday. I ask of you with a humble request to make a video on saint Benedict and his life. Although I understand your main focus is of the saints and scholars of the eastern church, I feel saint Benedict is beyond sects and traditions, he was a man who followed god until death in the same way the people you base these paramount videos on.

Wow, this is one of the first youtube styled documentaries that I actually sit down, begin watching and finish watching without feeling that my time has been robbed. You've earned a subscriber, great job.
Fr. seraphim rose had such a long impact in my life without knowing him too well early on. I have the many orthodox Christian’s to thank who were part of the perennialist/traditionalists groups for planting those seeds in my heart. Thank you for this video, brought me many tears of pain and joy ❤
You're even playing Ich Habe Genug in the background, Fr. Seraphim's favorite opera! You all are truly brilliant artists at Harmony! Thank you for this extreme blessing!
So fitting.. Seraphim also has had enough..
6:43, saving for later
this channel has brought my so much peace, whoever is running it, truly thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Father seraphim rose, the saint whos not yet been cannonized as a saint, the one man different from all. Truly he was a profound thinker and had a deeper understanding of what it means to not only be an orthodox christian, but how to love christ in its fullest compacity. He rejected modernity and ecumenism, Blessed seraphim rose, pray for america, pray for the world, pray for us sinners.
He is a Saint.
There is no question in my mind. There is an Icon of him at my new Parish alongside St. John of San Francisco
The church will 100% canonize him. He's had a massive impact on the current generation I wouldn't be surprised if he's canonized very soon
Only Jesus can save you not any worldy saints.
@Jaiden_Anime_Shuns you don't know what your talking about, saints can't be worldly also that makes no sense true Christians aren't worldly.
@IsaiahBoyd-j4s Exactly and what's more worldy than worshipping a human? Saints cannot give salvation only Jesus
I'm a Catholic, but have a great love and admiration of the Orthodox church and its aestheticism. I went to a local Greek Orthodox Church for almost a year. The writings of Seraphim Rose really helped shape who I am today.
Brother in Christ, remove the "but have a great love", say and.
And I will pray for both of us to find clarity in Christ ❤
This is beautiful, I'm a Ortodox Christian myself to . Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me the siner for the prayers of Your Holy Mother and all Saints . Amin
❤☦️ This channel and content is such a blessing. Thank you.
I was binge watching videos on father Seraphim Rose today. Glory be to God, i have been called to Orthodoxy for a while now, and i'm pretty sure this video coming out now is no coincidence.
One of the first 5 books I read in Catechism was Saint Seraphim of Sarov. Awesome book , especially the back half where it is a letter he wrote. RIP Seraphim Rose 🌹 Living Eternally
Seraphim Rose is one of the most important figures in the development of my Orthodoxy. My journey towards it was similar to his and Orthodox Survival Course, Nihilism and Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future are amazing and I recommend them to any inquirer. Right now I’m during my catechumenate and I can’t wait until being fully admittes to the church.
Memory eternal, Blessed Fr. Seraphim Rose☦️
This was much needed after the US election. Seek first the Kingdom of God!!! God Bless you.
I fell down a rabbit hole of leftist seething and it’s distracted me from remembrance of God.
I am struggling with thoughts myself on this dreadful day. We love Father Seraphim at my little church. Please dear Father, help me!

I got his book. God's revelation to the human heart. Thanks to you ❤
His book on nihilism is very good too, and Orthodoxy the religion of the future.
Your way of editing is so artistic,i like it a lot.
Dude these videos are pieces of art. Thank you for what you do
This is an awesome video, Love the editing, keep up the great work!
I just want to say this channel is awesome.
Wow. I have never heard a video with Bach’s “Ich haben genug” (instrumentalized) in the background. What a gripping of the heart. Oh man. Wow. Thanks so much for that
Oh Lord that was what my sweet brother John said in the very brief note he left before he shot and killed himself only a couple of months ago. “I’m sorry, I’ve had enough.” My mother gave him to me for my birthday the year I turned three, in 1951.
It has devastated me. John wasn’t made for the world as mean as it has become.
This is my favorite TH-cam channel, every video is amazing and such high quality. God bless 💓
Thank you! Blessed Seraphim Rose, pray for us!
That was beautiful, thank you. I recently visited Saint Anthony's Monastery in Florence, AZ. The paritioners, icons, and vespers were all Greek. As a catechumin, I likely wouldn't have felt the calling towards Orthodoxy if that was my first experience- as culture and language play a big role. I probably would have gone back to the Lutheran church, who knows. The monastery I go to in New England and the Orthodox content I watch here make it accessible and relatable, steering me towards a more wholesome and Christ-centered life. I love your format and good works❤

This is astonishing that I've found this channel! Glory to God and may you be saved for your work
Incredible video I owe alot to Blessed Seraphim Rose for inspiring me to convert to Orthodoxy
Incredible mini documentary - thank you/ for producing this
4:40 to 5:50, is something I could relate to an extent. Coming from an Evangelical church with still feeling out of place and my soul almost feeling despair, I came and walked into the parish on a rainy day at Orthros, not knowing the structure of the Liturgy, but only coming to the faith to find truth and that my soul may finally find the nurturing it desperately needed. It felt like coming back home, despite it being my first time in there. Fast forward, I'll be Chrismated in the first Sunday of February, marking my first year within the Church. ☦
MAY GOD BLESS YOU
Similar with me in the beginning. I'm still wrestling with my secular life, fell back into a certain passion and it's hard to get out of. Pray for me please, and congratulations on your Chrismation.
@ez_ekiel as am I, and when I fall, i get back up, and focus on the goal. Seeking communion with Christ.
Christ is either all we need or he is nothing at all. He is our home. Seeking peace in religion is the devils trick. You are free in Christ. Today is the day and now is the time.
@Rileyed agreed, as the disciple of the Apostle John has said, "“Wherever the bishop appears, there let the people be; as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church." To be able to get closer to Christ is to be within the Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church that he bestowed the Apostles to set up for the ages to come.
Dude you are profoundly blessed by the Almighty’s Holy Wisdom!
This was Brilliant. Have just subscribed...thank you for making great content.
I am always moved by your videos. Excellent productions. Thank you
I'm not particularly religious but this came up randomly in my feed. What an absolutely beautiful 16 minutes that was. So tastefully done and a really cool story.
This is an amazing video. I didn't know Father (Saint) Serphaim Rose studied secular philosophies like Nietzsche and Alan Watts. It suprised me and this only grows me closer to Orthodoxy. He had all the philosophical knowledge in the world (dramatic but you get the point) and sacrificed himself for God. His story I hope can help open the heart of the many prideful "intellects" that I know. God bless you all. May He have mercy on us.
I get exited like a kid when harmony drops.
Wonderful video.....very well done ...produced so beautifully
Could you make a video on the Jesus Prayer?With your cinematic style it would be awesome
Father seraphim rose is awesome and so is his works specifically “NIHILISM, the modern revolution”
I live about 3 hours away from the monastery, my parents were subscribed to the orthodox word and I still have some copies here
Copies? When were the copies subscribed? Like the year?
Through all these videos, I feel blessed that I was born a Greek Orthodox Christian. Χριστός Ανέστη, δόξα τω Κυρίω εις τους αιώνας των αιώνων, αμήν.
Blessed Seraphim Rose brought me to Holy Orthodoxy.
Me too.
This is an excerpt of a longer article in which the Elders tell us why they don’t fear the Antichrist nor the apocalypse:
One day Elder Porphyrios had told me:
“Father Athanasios (taking me by the hand tightly), I’m blind now, my eyes do not work physically because I have cancer of the pituitary gland, but I have spiritual eyes and see. Before you leave, I want you to tell me, what did Elder Aemilianos say about 666 and the Antichrist?”
This was in the days of Chernobyl. People were upset by this and went by the dozens every day, particularly to Elder Porphyrios near Athens, asking: “What will happen? Will the Antichrist come and stamp us with 666″?
The Elder asked me: “Tell me, my child, what did Elder Aemilianos say about 666 and the Antichrist?”
I told him: “He told us in a gathering a few days ago to not worry. We should be interested in having a vibrant relationship with Christ and not give much attention to the Antichrist, because then he will become the center of our lives and not Christ.”
. . .
He told me: “For us Christians, when we experience Christ there is no Antichrist. . . .
When we have Christ inside us, can the Antichrist come? Can anything opposite this enter our souls? For this reason, my child, today we do not have Christ within us and because of this we worry about the Antichrist.
When Christ is within us, everything becomes Paradise. Christ is everything, my child, and the Opposer we should not fear; this you should always tell people.
. . .
And you should tell the people to not fear the Antichrist. We are children of Christ, we are children of the Church.”
As a Pentecostal Christian, videos like these help me explore the humble and spiritual aspects of my faith. The emphasis of the necessity to suffer in Christ is essential for those who are true adherents to the faith, and I am glad that the message shown here is actually being taught in my church (a church my family founded), who seeks to do only the will of the Father and live by what our Lord Jesus taught us to do. God bless my Orthodox brothers and sisters, and to all Christians no matter the denomination, for we all are united in Christ.
My friend, we cannot be united since we do not believe in the same Christ.
The body of Christ cannot be separated. Unfortunately many Christian’s belong to the body that they are a part of. And most only exist as a body Rome. The Orthodox Church is the church of the first 1000 years. As an Orthodox Christian Man, it’s not a loving act for me to say all is well and that all churches and religions are the same. I beseech you to consider joining the orthodox church. I can personally attest that there is full grace to be found in the Orthodox Church. God bless you on your journey.
"I myself can accept the experience of Protestants being ‘born-again’ in Christ; I have met people who have changed their lives entirely through meeting Christ, and I cannot deny their experience just because they are not Orthodox. I call these people “subjective” or “beginning” Christians. But until they are united to the Orthodox Church they cannot have the fullness of Christianity, they cannot be objectively Christian as belonging to the Body of Christ and receiving the grace of the sacraments. I think this is why there are so many sects among them-they begin the Christian life with a genuine conversion to Christ, but they cannot continue the Christian life in the right way until they are united to the Orthodox Church, and they therefore substitute their own opinions and subjective experiences for the Church’s teaching and sacraments."
- Bl. Fr. Seraphim Rose
I would recommend his book "Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future" I think it will do you well.
To all who commented, I respect your opinions and appreciate your commentary on our Christian faith. We are all part of a church, that which is founded by Christ. It is not a building, or organization, or denomination, that makes a church but a common unity in Jesus, who we all agree came to the world as the Son of God, the Word, God incarnate, and loved us so much that he died on the cross and took away our sin so that through him, we can finally exist in union with God. Suffering and death will exist, and many people will use our religion as an excuse to harm others or use it as justification for others actions, snd I know their are debates between theology and what is the right way to worship, but the only thing that matters is that we seek Jesus, to preach and live like him, and to acknowledge that we are imperfect in every way yet he makes us perfect through him. I hope this does not spark any confusion or anger towards anyone and God bless you all.
@@joshthedirector No my friend, you are not right. Im a born and raised catholic, and left the Catholic Church, and joined the protestant church for 6 years I was there, and I was stuck on so many issues, when I read the Bible, I didnt see the true Church from the Bible in the protestant church, the Bible says be united in faith and doctrine, but the protestant church have 3000 + denominations which by default are not in unity, the amount of debates and hate between protestants was too much for me, they were not in unity over many things, so many thousands of different doctrine, and they all claim they have the truth, but when you study the early church teachings you will realise the protestant denominations are almost all wrong, and there can't be more truths, only 1 and its already been revealed to the early church. are there christians in the protestant church ofcourse! many love God with all their heart, but they are not part of the fullness of the true church they just dont know better, as a true believer you cannot be in this for too long, because when you read the word of God, you will wonder about the same things as I do and many others do, I would recommend you to take some time of any religious channels , and study all this for yourself, buy some good books, and read the Bible, but most importantly pray about it! I will pray for you Josh.
1 Corinthians 1:10
I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, *that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be PERFECTLY united in mind and thought* .
Ephesians 4:12-14
12 for the equipment of the saints, for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, 13 *until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ; 14 so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine* , by the cunning of men, by their craftiness in deceitful wiles.

@5:20. It was at an Orthodox funeral that I had the same experince Fr. Seraphim had. In fact, the man whose funeral I discovered Christ in was a man who was one of Fr Seraphim Rose's spiritual sons - my spiritual father, Fr. Seraphim Cardoza. Memory eternal. Father Seraphim Rose, pray for us.
I send these videos to all my friends before even watching them because I know they will be epic
I'm March of 2020 I was going to bed and when I laid down I laid on my left side. I immediately felt someone grab me by my shoulder and I turned on my back. I looked up and a cloud when into my eyes and mouth. I immediately saw Jesus! I immediately heard a voice say Wormwood and Jesus raised he's hands and clapped them together and I saw a vision of a Rock coming to earth and it hit down by Florida. As soon as it hit I immediately saw another vision of a bright ball of light hit the Earth it was bigger than the Earth! It made a terrifying sound and I came out of the Spirit and went to sleep! Jesus is coming back soon! Repent and call upon the name of the Lord and ye shall be saved!
the world will be changed in a twinkling of an eye.
Its latter that you think they say
Always a good day when Harmy posts
13:30 We care and appreciate you both, Ft. Herman! God bless you.
That was beautiful.
Once you realize The Truth is Christ, you discover that you are truly powerless, and you can do nothing to open another's eyes. It is truly only with faith of heart that we can know Him, The Truth, The Eternal Light. For even when The Truth walked amongst men, most still denied Him.
If you will listen to me, then you don't need to, because you are ready to find The Truth.

I'm a Catholic, but I have a deep reverence for Orthodox theology and its mysticism/esotericism.
Very strange - I am both new and old to Orthodoxy. Spoke to an Orthodox training for the Priesthood in Greece for the first time in the early 1990s when correspondence by e-mail was a new thing. And here I am in 2024, just becoming a catechumen. I was introduced to the name Fr Seraphim Rose rather early into my own research into Orthodoxy, but I did not know his life story. I came away from this short video in tears - he and I have so much in common, though generations apart. From the feeling of having been born in the wrong time - even told that I was born in the wrong place by some who got to know me as a teen. Being born into a Mormon family. serving a Mormon mission and looking for meaning and coming to the very first movement to the truth in what I learned there - even learning that a way of life you are born into is wrong is the start of a journey.
As so many on that path often do, you start to search and I went everywhere - from vising Islamic and Jewish services to every form of Christianity I could find, even the Unitarians and the LGBT-based protestant denominations out of California. But it was all empty in one way or another. I became an agnostic atheist... on and on. It is like his life story or rather mine is just a play on words of his. Right down to the moment last year when I walked into an Orthodox Church in Kansas after not having darkened any door of any church of any kind for 11 years and I literally thought the very same sentence, "I have come home."
Work has taken me about as far as possible from Kansas in that year. Visiting an Orthodox priest here is most difficult. That priest is most kind with me, allowing me to visit for Divine Liturgy and to speak as circumstance allows and to move at the pace that allows - which tends to be even slower than most Orthodox. Hours journey one way when my work is not kind to such long trips. So, I do not know what the future holds. I just hope that I can remain on earth long enough that the spot at Our Lord's table that was meant for me, I might be able to finally take and that for someone who has done so much to offend but tried so hard to not - that there might be one last bit of mercy for me when the time comes.
Providence led me here.Wow powerful .
I am not religious but find such dedication to an unseen God fascinating ........
If you follow this channel, and research Orthodoxy, you’ll see that what you call an, “Unseen God,” is actually a God that has been seen many times
True Genuine Catacomb Old Calendar Orthodoxy must be preached.
The Royal Path Is Death To Compromise.
as Father Seraphim Rose said, their struggles against the Truth will all be in Vain.
Father Seraphim Roses work is incredible. I highly recommend reading his books. His books brought me to God. I understood what he was saying in his book Nihilsm. It was exactly how I felt and explained why I felt that way. I cried a lot that week. Life is tough people. Pray and get to know your creator.

I have also studied the Tao for many years. Reading it over and over and practicing the I Ching. The Tao is rooted in truth but as I study orthodox Christianity and the real documented life of Christ. It seems as if Christ himself does show and represent a more palpable method of divinity than most other religions. I feel this monks struggle of learning and studying but still feeling emptiness. Thank you for making these videos. I truly enjoy your channel

Thank you God for reminding me why I feel so lost in this world. I always had wanted to tear myself away from this world and live in the wilderness. I never had the innards to pull it off. Now, at 62, married with family, my wilderness will become a garden on a subdivision lot and I will reconnect with Christ and leave as much of this world behind and rejoice when my departure arrives.
Apocalypse already happened. We in the short season/little season

@@grey.knightya they have. The earth was last vreset in the 1700's after the mudflood. The millennial reign already happened. Then Satan was loosed in 1776. Hence the statue of liberty is obviously Lucifer with a chain around his ankle symbolizing being loosed. We are in revelations I think it's 20 or 21 I forget.
5:24
“….a new idea began to enter into my awareness: That truth was not just an abstract idea sought and known by the mind, but was something personal-even a person-sought and loved by the heart. And that is how I met Christ.”
I'm really wondering of becoming either catholic or orthodox
Truly, truly, Fr. Seraphim Rose is a man of God
Just become orthodox mate. It’s the continuation of the church of the first 1000 years. Also there was no papacy preached by the apostles nor did they proclaim themselves infallible. I can personally attest that there is full grace to be found in the Orthodox Church.
Don't be seduced by the spiritual materialism of the EO or RC churches.
But the problem is, there's no orthodox Church where I live
Tbh, I've never seen one in Brazil before
@thefirstbigsmokepopcat744 I agree. It's only catholic that evangelized and spread the Good News throughout the world. With the new age of internet and modernism travel, other denominations are starting to spread too. If you're in Brazil, and cant find orthodox, find the most traditional latin church or an eastern rite Catholic (exact same divine liturgy as orthodox).
Both are good options both are Catholics. The philosophy of orthodoxy is a little more uplifting but Roman Catholicism is easier imo. Their sacraments on the outside seem more well defied/ easier to get into. Less of a culture shock. But regardless the sacraments of both are backed scientifically to be good you can't go wrong with either. You can always continue a spiritual journey in once church and end up in another
Dear Harmony
I have found spiritual cultivation in your videos to better hear Christ through the stories of those who seemed closest to him until death. You are an extremely talented storyteller and filmmaker and I respect your orthodox doctrine as a devout traditional catholic who attends The Tridentine Mass every Sunday.
I ask of you with a humble request to make a video on saint Benedict and his life. Although I understand your main focus is of the saints and scholars of the eastern church, I feel saint Benedict is beyond sects and traditions, he was a man who followed god until death in the same way the people you base these paramount videos on.
Yours sincerely Sam Ford
