I received Elder Ephrem's blessing during a chance visit to the Monastery in 2014. I consider it one of the absolute honors of my life. I was only a seeker. I met my hero before I knew who he was. Elder Ephrem pray for us sinners!
Geronda Ephraim will no doubt be recognized as a Saint, may he pray for us all, what a beautiful soul, so much great he has done for us all and Orthodoxy. ☦️🙏🏼
Amazing video that captures the essence of this monastery. A serene, beautiful place habited by those who have given themselves up to follow Christ and be transformed by his divine love. Geronda has inspired many and, though I never met the elder, his love for Christ and for his brother are profound and otherworldly - as evidenced by the monks in this video who grew up with the elder as well as speaking with many at the monastery when I was blessed with an opportune trip. Glory to God for all things and for still giving us saints to help show us the way to Christ
Beautiful video, both visually and spiritually appealing. Brought tears to my eyes. Father Ephraim tenderly describes that Christ love we felt from Geronda Ephraim. I am sure this video will bring some people to this monastery and into the Orthodox Church.
Good video, Viacheslav, but the music behind the narration and monks voices is too loud. It distracted from the power of the words and images. However, thank you for the visit. Love from Yorkshire , UK. I try to visit St John and the Baptist in Essex, Saint Sophrony, at least once a year, but is not easy to drive far now bc of mobility problems. It is a 4/5 hour drive, which i cannot do now. I pray God allows me to visit once more before I am blessed to depart, and in His mercy, a good death.
You just outed yourself as not going to church, or at least paying attention to prayers. It’s apostolic, patristic, liturgical, hymnographical, iconographic, and most importantly Orthodox. It’s so weird to see people denying a doctrine that has so much roots in Orthodox tradition.
@@mariorizkallah5383 It is neo pagan at best and has absolutely NO basis in any of the teachings of the Holy Fathers. It sets demons as judges above God. It is ridiculous and incredibly sad.
@@shawnhampton8503 wdym it sets demons as judges above God? The souls are brought down into hades only until the second judgement. I guess everyone else on mt Athos is also “infected” with this “heresy” then. Good thing we have you, the illumined one, to guide and correct us, the Elders,the Saints and the rest of the Church from their ignorance into the proper teaching of what the soul undergoes upon its departure from the body.

Geronada Ephraim's book was my introduction into the Orthodox Christian faith. His letters are filled with Spirit and Grace.

Who is the voice over narration talent?
It is the Father's Arsenios voice, the monk, living in the Monastery.

Sadly infected with the "Tollhouses" heresy.

You are delusional. There are toll roads to travel.
Could you please cite one saint who speaks against the toll houses?
