- Believe it or not, the Eastern Church has tons of wonderful saints just like the Catholic Church does. While we may not be in communion with our Eastern brothers and sisters, we can still find inspiration in their holy lives.

Hello. I'm an Orthodox convert from Baptist living in thr southern US under Antioch. My conversion brought a greater respect for my Catholic brothers. Thank you for the video! May the Holy Spirit guide us towards unity one day, In-sha'Allah.
Catholic ix the true orthodox faith.....

@@user-zf3li2wg8b Arab Christians also use the phrase, it simply means 'may God will it.'
@@user-zf3li2wg8b Eastern Christians in arabia and the middle east say it was well, its something similar to Deus Vult, or God Willing
@@user-zf3li2wg8b Same word, different meaning. Arabic speaking Christians use the term Allah without referring to the god of Islam.
I love learning about the Eastern Church and I pray often for reunification.
@@voidremoved why should they become protestant? How about the protestants stop protesting?
To me this is my thoughts there's no need for this because I believe there's something else behind this. And nothing good will come of it because it's a Vatican move if it was something else I'd be interested in it. Yes I'm a bit paranoid because they way I've been done the majority of my life call it a gut feeling. They say trust your gut.
Sadly they don't and they regards us as complete heretics
They also believe (like other protests) that we worship icons and think every single doctrine that we can't ever reconcile with
There are 23 Eastern Rites that are in Communion with the Roman Catholic Rite. Excluded therein is The Orthodox Rite when their Patriarch in 10th C separated from Rome and stopped acknowledging The Primacy of Peter as the head of Christendom.
Hence, the Apparition of Our Lady of Fatima in 1917 for Consecration of Russia and Russia was not YET a communist nation (?). How did Mary Most Holy know???
I don't like learning about the western church and I pray for everyone else's conversion
St. Nectarios of Aegina is also the author of a famous hymn, Agni Parthene or O Virgin Pure in English.
I love that hymn but wasn't aware he is the author of it. Thanks for sharing!
There is a very good new movie about saint nectarios called the man of god I highly recommend it
I really like that hymn. Unfortunately, I am Protestant
@@whydama so was I
I love Agni Parthene. Thank you for the info.
When St John Paul II was alive , he always spoke of the churches as the two lungs of the same body of Christ. It is time for us to look for what connects us rather than what divides. Thank you for this important step in that direction.
When he wrote that in his apostolic letter, he was referring to those of us who are Byzantine Catholics.
while i would love nothing more than to reunite with the western church, i would argue it's not quite the proper mindset to focus on what unites us rather than what divides us. my closest brother in christ is a catholic, and in our day to day we can ignore the theological differences between us and help each other become better Christians, but on a church-wide level we simply have to have those difficult discussion. It's just a matter of fact that the orthodox church will never accept the filioque clause or papal primacy, and that the Catholic church isn't willing to let those things go any time soon, we can't just avoid that and talk about how much we love Jesus and call it ecumenism
Фактически нет ни одной вероучительной единицы от которой западная римская церковь не отошла. А это евхаристия , крещение, соборование, конфирмация , понятие святости, эклезиология, сотериология, католики исказили учение о Троице, о Святом Духе. Поэтому святой Марк Эфесский писал: " мы отвергли латинян, папистов только по одной причине, что они еретики"
How can you unite when there are differences????
@萌謝 please be specific. What chapters what wverses.
In previous years I thought it was just silly to wish for the reunion of the church, but as I have grown in my faith I see more of our similarities, and our passion for our one God. This is beautiful content, I hope it help soften some hearts and open some eyes.
Oh I like two Easters.
What do you mean our one god? We worship a different God all together because we have different christological and trinitarian views.

Fr. Casey, I appreciate your ecumenical efforts, however please don’t forget that the Eastern Catholic Churches also exist, and that we venerate many of the same saints as our separated Orthodox siblings do…not to mention we have many of our own incredible Eastern saints like St. Charbel, Bl. Theodore Romzha, and St. Josaphat Kunstyevich. May the Latin Church and the Orthodox Churches come together and set aside the sins that led to the dysfunction of the church, that we may all be one as Christ has commanded.
The Orthodox church lead me to the Catholic church. Speaking with priests in Kyiv led me to God.
So now in the western world, I make the sign of the cross lile Orthodox and Eastern Catholics with 3 fingers up to represent the Trinity and 2 fingers down to represent the duality of Christ.
@@biologos101 you know, I’ve always been a Latin Catholic but I greatly respect the way in which Eastern Catholics pray, and I have unintentionally been making the sign of the cross in the same way pretty much all of my life
Josaphat Kuntsevych is in hell.
there is also st alphonsa, st kuriakose elias chavara, st euphrasia
@@biologos101 Wow! Could you share your journey with me? What was the determining factor of your choice?
The intercession of Blessed Xenia, St. Nektarios and St. Elizabeth have worked for me and my friends. My dating life changed quite drastically after i sincerely asked St. Elizabeth for her help. Glory to the Father!
Amen. Where are you from my brother?
Singapore!
St Moses the black has always been a favorite of mine from the eastern tradition ❤️
Technically he’s a saint in the west too.
@@michaelcaza6766 yes brother I know he's venerated in the west but he is a saint of the eastern tradition and one of my biggest inspirations , ur right tho man my bad
It's also worth noting that several of these saints are in the calendars of the Byzantine Catholic Churches, the largest of which is the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church.
Also, some Ukrainian Catholic Parishes can opt for the Julian Calendar instead of the Gregorian calendar.
@@pjsmith4369 as well as the revised Julian.
@Wise Owl Wouldn't see why not. The Byzantine Rite is their rite.
@YAJUN YUAN Hahaha, so funny 😒
@YAJUN YUAN This comment made my day. Are you being serious?
Fascinating list - i had heard of none of these saints. Surprised not to hear Seraphim of Sarov mentioned though. You should check him out, as I've heard him described as the Russian Orthodox Francis.
What a simple but beautiful gesture of fraternity.
What’s more, the mindset that leads to it is so available to anyone, but so few follow it: When you find yourself surprised at the beliefs or actions of others, ask yourself if they might reasonably feel the same about you. Then take steps to bridge that gap!
I pray that the two churches may be united once again. May God bless you all✝️❤️
Amen! May all Christians be united once again, by the grace of Jesus Christ
A friend wrote a chapter in a new book, "The Grace of Being There: Single Mother Saints in Our Lives." Some are Orthodox and some are Catholic.
What book?! I'd like to read it.
Your friend is wrong. There are no “orthodox” saints.
@Phil Andrew if by “Roman Catholic church” you mean the Vatican2 sect then yes, i’m in disagreement with Rome. The same sect that also believes that idolaters like John Paul 2 are saints.
@Phil Andrew we don’t believe the chair of Peter ceased to exist but that the claimants since Vatican2 have been heretical anti-Popes, which they have. We don’t reject the supremacy of the papacy like “Orthodox” do.
@@djf5069you are a schismatic at best, a heretic at worst
Oh wow! Thanks for the shout-out to the Orthodox saints. I'm a long-time watcher/listener who is also Orthodox, and I kind of weirdly think of subscribing to your channel as a way of keeping the bond between our two churches (and the awesome content too, of course).
Keep doing what you do, and know that much love is being sent your way from all over the world.
Thank you Fr. Casey for this information
I am part of Malankara Syriac Orthodox Church of India.
This is a great topic! I feel that we Catholics are so rarely educated about Eastern saints, and we should be. Thanks, Fr. Casey!
Wrong! Roman Catholics are rarely educated about eastern saints and eastern spirituality, those of us who are eastern Catholics are. Not all Catholics are Roman/Latin Catholics, in fact the second Largest Catholic. Church is the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (which came back into union with the See of Peter during the Union of Brest in 1595-96). I know it’s commonplace to say Catholic and refer to the Latin church, but this is a horrible error that needs correcting. His Holiness, Pope St. John Paul II in his Apostolic Letter promulgated on 2 May 1995 entitled, “Orientale Lumen,” said:
“Since, in fact, we believe that the venerable and ancient tradition of the Eastern Churches is an integral part of the heritage of Christ's Church, the first need for Catholics is to be familiar with that tradition, so as to be nourished by it and to encourage the process of unity in the best way possible for each.
Our Eastern Catholic brothers and sisters are very conscious of being the living bearers of this tradition, together with our Orthodox brothers and sisters. The members of the Catholic Church of the Latin tradition must also be fully acquainted with this treasure and thus feel, with the Pope, a passionate longing that the full manifestation of the Church's catholicity be restored to the Church and to the world, expressed not by a single tradition, and still less by one community in opposition to the other; and that we too may all be granted a full taste of the divinely revealed and undivided heritage of the universal Church[2] which is preserved and grows in the life of the Churches of the East as in those of the West.”

@@michaelcaza6766 While you are correct that Eastern Catholics are still Catholics, the fact that it is commonplace to use the term "Catholic" for the Latin Church prompted me to use it here. I'm not denying that Eastern Catholics are Catholics and we do need to be in communion with them, but I still don't see, for lack of better wording, why it is a big deal.
@@bermar229 you’re joking, right? It’s because of sentiments like yours that it is a big deal. In fact American catholic mentality (proof in point EWTN and it’s programming) promotes the supremacy of Roman Catholicism. It was so bad that at one point because of the words and actions of one Minnesotan Bishop, John Ireland, that the Orthodox Church of America received a large number of Ukrainian Catholics into their fold. The Ukrainian Catholic Church was, for a long time, treated as second class in American Catholic circles. This is why it’s so important!
You can’t reply?
@@michaelcaza6766 Just didn't think it was worth my time
My favorite eastern prayer. Lord Jesus Christ Son of the living God have mercy on me a sinner.
The Jesus Prayer! My parish (a Ukrainian Greek Catholic Parish) is just finishing a course on that.
It's mystifying why Roman Catholics are unfamiliar with this "biblical" prayer, but they all know the Hail Mary. (Not dissing that devotion, just surprised almost no Catholic even knows about the Jesus Prayer)
@@EricA-xd9fn you were doing so good up until you said “almost no catholic even knows the Jesus prayer.” Many Catholics know the Jesus Prayer, and there’s an increasing number of Roman Catholics being added to this number. The first time I heard about this prayer was from the Roman Priest who baptized me and gave me my first communion. I left the church for orthodoxy at 13 in the year 2000, then came home after being in evangelical protestantism from 2010-2021 (I came home just before Pentecost 2021). My theology and spirituality are orthodox which is why I’m about to be inscribed into the Ukrainian Greek Orthodox Church. You must be careful in your words as not all Catholics are Roman/Latin.
@@michaelcaza6766 Almost no Roman Catholic knows, although they may vaguely remember the reference from the Parable of the Pharisee and the Publican. Ask an everyday RC and 90% will at least know the "Hail Mary" or have heard about it. Ask those same RCs about a "Jesus Prayer" and maybe...just maybe 3% could say it or even vaguely describe it. One of the oldest prayers in all of Christianity and RCs have never heard of it because that's something those "Orthodox" people do. I know what I am saying. Believe me.
@@EricA-xd9fn I'm not sure what you mean. Eastern Catholics know the prayer. Different rites have different liturgies and different traditions. I don't know if eastern catholics listen to gregorian chants or recite latin prayers, but if they don't I don't think that is out of the ordinary.
As someone raised in the (Greek American, i.e. under Pat. Const.) Orthodox tradition, I am grateful for your words and appreciate this channel and Upon Friar Review. Thank you!
We have a large community of Orthodox Catholics who live in our area. Thank you for shedding light on their beautiful faith.
Gregory of narek is not a saint in the Eastern Orthodox church, but the oriental heterodox church. He was a non chalcedonian heretic who wrote against chalcedon. He is now a doctor of the church according to “pope” francis
@@mariorizkallah5383 very interesting Comment
@@mariorizkallah5383 the video is about Eastern saints not eastern Orthodox (Imperial Chalcedonian).
@@mariorizkallah5383 hey, aren't you from Maronite Church?
@@DivineAegis02did you watch the video? It’s literally about Eastern Orthodox saints
I’m Baptized Greek Orthodox and practice as such, but my dad’s side is Catholic, so I’ve been a little intertwined. I’m such a fan of your channel.
One of my favorite saints is St. Mary of Egypt! I’m a Roman Catholic btw but still pray to her
St. Elizabeth of Moscow was no ordinary princess. She was the granddaughter of Queen Victoria and elder sister to Tsarina Alexandra, wife of Nicholas II, the last Tsar of Russia. When her husband, Grand Duke Sergei (son of Tsar Alexander II), was blown to bits by an anarchists bomb it was Elizabeth herself who ran out to help gather the pieces of her husbands body (or what was left of it). She visited her husbands assassin in his prison cell and forgave him for his crime. Four years later she took the veil and founded the Convent of Mary and Martha in Moscow. The sisters of this convent helped the poor in all manner of ways with school for the children, medical aide for the poor, and as many comforts as they could provide. Even during her life the poor looked on her as a saint. The Bolsheviks could not tolerate her presence or her popularity in Moscow so they arrested her and later murdered her.
Sadly she was treated worse than a dog by her sister, The empress Alexandra Feodorovna when she tried to warn her about Rasputin.
I have read about her also. I can across her reading about the Romanoffs great person truly a saint.
Sergei Romanov was a notorious reactionary sadist blamed for thousands of dead at Khodynka Tragedy, suppression of student movement, deportation of Jewish people, and insistence to massacre the peaceful petitionists on Bloody Sunday. He caused only two feelings among the people: 1) fear and hatred 2) relief when he was assassinated by the Socialist Revolutionary Party member (rather than an anarchist) Ivan Kalyayev (who had called off his first assassination attempt to spare the lives of Elizabeth and nephews)

Excellent video.

Thanks Fr. Cole. You are a great person and i have learned some much from you. Im happy to say im going to RCIA and can't wait be apart of the Church and worshipping our great and almighty Lord.
It's worth mentioning that last year a movie (in English) was made about the life of St Nectarios and was extremely popular in Greece. We also now have a TV show about the life of St Paisios, also very popular. I guess we love our saints in Greece 😅. But these are definitely worth checking out!
Is this Man of god?
@@justmep.3577 yes
@@vasilistoma7082 i live in switzerland, we cant stream it, not even a dvd is available. So sad.
St Paisios writings bring me much comfort when I am facing hardship. I always feel comforted, ever since my aunt introduced me to him.
Thanks for making this video. I've been attending services at a Russian Orthodox church alongside my Catholic parish and found it extremely enriching connecting with my brothers and sisters.
Do check if it is allowed by Canon Law. And also, if it is, don't substitute it for Sunday obligation.
Thanks a ton! I'm Orthodox, and no ecumenist, but my Catholic brothers are my allies, even though reunion seems improbable. I AM a Chestertonian, and so of course, admire St Francis. We are not wrong to think that one ecclesiastical view must be right, but it is great when we drop triumphalism.
Don’t worry brother, the church will reunite, one day.
Being greek and catholic certainly is a struggle

My best friend took Chrysostom as his religious name when he became a Benedictine novice.
DEAR EASTERN BROTHERS, SISTERS, WE LOVE YOU, LET US UNITE.
As an Orthodox who’s been following your channel for some time now, it was a good surprise to come across this video. 😊
You strengthen my faith in the Catholic Church! Thank you!!
I guess I would technically count as a Protestant, and I can attest to the fact that Saint Francis was one of the holiest men in history. He was everything Jesus was looking for in a disciple, and that’s impressive considering it took him a while to get there [I remember hearing that as a teenager he was quite sinful, until the Lord told him to build the church].
Excuse me, hottest? That’s a little too far now..
Read A Comparison: Francis of Assisi and St. Seraphim of Sarov
Thank you for making this video. We are Catholics who love the Eastern Orthodox church. it's heartbreaking that we are separated. By learning about and from their saints, we are taking steps toward the reunification of all Christians that surely is already present in Heaven.
Kinda surprised the Agni Parthene was left out of St Nektarios' section. Totally not biased since it's my favorite Christian song though
Fear not Father, there are Byzantine Catholics (Ruthenians) who love St Francis, have even been to Assisi, and know St Therese, too! But thank you for the shout out to the East!! So welcomed, so welcomed.
As a Byzantine Catholic myself (Ukrainian Greek Catholic) I question you as to why you would make this comment as he wasn’t talking about Catholics but Orthodox.
@@michaelcaza6766 just because there are differences re which saints RCs, Eastern Catholics and Orthodox tend to venerate or recognize. So it is always nice to let someone know that you share a love for a common saint. Sometimes protestants look to some saints too! I would not read into the comment....just made in fun and joy. best to you.
Dude, I'm on the brink of tears that you did this... thanks so much. No more schisms. If they preach christ different from us, but hold sound salvific gospel, no big deal.
@Buddy oh yeah, dude... why don't cha run over an ask the Anglicans how not having a magisterium works to unify them? ...Lol. no offense to the Queen... but most Anglicans outside of the uk have no connection to the home office.
@Buddy And that is exactly the problem with you Papists
The Eastern "Orthodox" are outside the Church and on the road to hell. If you have any charity at all, that is a big deal.
@Buddy Good Christ dude, you're dead inside. Find Jesus...He'll give you a cross to heal your self righteousness.
Looks like it IS a big deal.
"But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema." Galatians 1:8, Douay-Rheims Bible
Wonderful!
St Seraphim of Sarov, St Matrona of Moscow, St Gabriel Ugrebadze, St Tikhon of Zadon, St Seraphim Chichagov the new martyr, St Sergiy of Radoneszh, St Alexander Nevskiy
These are more examples of Saints, who are specially revered by Orthodox Church in my country
Would be cool if you can make a video about Oriental Orthodox Saints! Armenians,Syriacs, Abyssinians and Copts have lots of beautiful and interesting saints!
Thank you for this very encouraging video, Father Casey. I think learning about the lives of saints is something that Catholics and Orthodox Christians are good at, but we Protestants usually dismiss. These people are excellent role models and we could benefit from hearing about their lives.
He didn't include the fact that Saint Nektarios composed the hymn Agni Parthene which we all love
He didn’t include that Saint Nektarios wrote extensively against Roman Catholicism
It is awesome to hear these saints to look up to
Fr Casey, I said many amens to the statement "the divisions that we hold on earth are not held in heaven". I'm protestant and believe that Christ has only 1 body. We should not be divided, rather united in faith and love 😊
Father Casey Cole is single-handedly bringing many young people to the faith. It's exciting to see his informative videos delivered with such enthusiasm and ease of explanation.
Regarding St. Francis of Assisi, I have read a compelling argument from one Orthodox author that Francis was in a state of severe prelest (spiritual delusion), evidenced by the assertion in extremis of Francis that he had confessed and repented of all sins, and a comparison of this with the more Orthodox deathbed assertion of Abba Sisoes, “truly I cannot know whether I have begun to repent.”
Read the famous article "A Comparison: Francis of Assisi and St. Seraphim of Sarov" No saint at all

I received your book Father Casey! Thank you very much and God bless you always.
Thank you for speaking about these wonderful Saints of God.
I was familiar with St. Elizabeth.
Born Princess Elizabeth of Hesse( a granddaughter of Queen Victoria if England) she was raised a Lutheran. When she married Grand Duke Serge of Russia she found a love for Russian Orthodoxy and voluntarily converted. Her husband was the uncle of Czar Nicholas the second and she was the sister of Nicholas's wife czarina Alexandra.
After her husband Sergei was killed, she continued raising her niece and nephew and when they were old enough she started and Orthodox convent.
Shevwas an amazing woman.
I actually asked my pastor what the Roman Catholic churches take on somebody like her was because to me she was every bit as much of a martyr as any of the Catholic martyrs.
My pastor wasn't really sure about the Roman Catholic view of her or if we would recognize her as a saint but I always did thank you for clearing this up
Just remembered that there are thousands of saints that both churches have in common... John Chrysostom, Ambrose of Milan, Basil of Caesarea, Gregory of Nazianzus, Mary of Egypt, Justin the Martyr etc. etc... It is a good start to look for reunification
Now this is an awesome video. Love learning new things
Thank you for this wonderful presentation
Thank you for the shout-out, Father Casey! Much love from the West within the East!
At fifteen seconds into this video my bishop is seen in the middle photo of Bishops. It goes a bishop wearing a Klobuks and Kamilavkas, then in the middle photo Bishop David Motiuk of the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Edmonton, then our Holy Father.
Good to see you again my friend!!! Thank you for your loving inspiration and interpretation!! God Love You!!
That’s a fascinating topic, good job!
Elizabeth was actually born in Germany, a Protestant Christian by birth, granddaughter of Queen Victoria, who chose to become a Russian Orthodox Christian after her marriage to the Grand Duke Sergey.
So beautiful....loved the ending ... no divisions above
I loveeee paisios, I read The gurus, the young man and elder paisios and it was literally mind blowing
Thank you from an Armenian Catholic for mentioning St. Gregory of Narek, Doctor of the Church.
Gregory of narek was a heretical non chalcedonian
this was a great video, br. casey, and an even greater message accompanying it. thank you.
Fr. Casey, thank you so much! I really enjoyed this, especially hearing how we are all one Church in Heaven, even if we are many on earth. It is always inspiring to hear about holy people.
Breathing in God and out with both lungs. May God unite us powerfully .
Pope St. John Paul II was referring to the Eastern Catholic Churches when he wrote this in Orientale Lumen, he was referring to the Eastern Catholic Churches.
Great video for us Catholics who love Eastern Orthodoxy
You should have said, “great video for us Roman/Latin Catholics,” as those of us who are Orthodox Christians in union with Rome (aka Byzantine Greek Catholics, and eastern Catholics) knew this already.
@@michaelcaza6766 You are right!
@@michaelcaza6766 you are not orthodox
@@mariorizkallah5383 claim what you want, but our catechism says otherwise given the fact our theology is eastern, and lines up with the orthodox east. You wouldn’t know this as you’ve not studied. I left the Latin church was Chrismated in an orthodox under the Ecumenical Patriarchate for 10 years before becoming an Evangelical Protestant earning a bachelors in theology, obtaining a masters in Byzantine theology via an orthodox institution, and then eventually finding my way back to the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church via prayer and lots of study and joining a Ukrainian Greek Catholic Parish. The Catechism of the UGCC isn’t any different in doctrine and theology to that of any canonical Orthodox Church. You really need to do some serious study.
Thanks for sharing!
Really interesting. Thanks for posting.
Outstanding video!
Thank you for making this video, brother
I love this. More please.
I didn't know at Gregory was recognized in the Roman Catholics! I'm so glad he is !! Your entire video is great!! It's awesome to see Catholics interested in the primitive churches !!
St. Gregory Palamas
very surprised he was missed. doubly disappointing given the supposed Orthodox adviser.
Palamas "is the summation of all patristic teaching and orthodox life...I pray that Palamas may become the guide of all Christians...Palamas developed the fundamental teaching of the Church...therefore, this theology cannot be called Palamism." ~Metropolitan Hierotheos, 'Saint Gregory Palamas as a Hagiorite' God bless.😊
I absolutely loved this. THIS is the way forward.
If we can’t (as of now) solve our theological issues; we can certainly find common ground in many of the saints and miracles around the world.
-Your Orthodox brother in Christ.
Great presentation. I watched it twice. Yes it is sad what we have lost because of the schism.
A subject close to my heart. I’m Orthodox brought up Catholic but love and venerate saints from both Churches
Does this way cause confusion for you and your journey?
I was raised Evangelical, but was received in the Orthodox Church of America coming up on 10 years ago. Like others have said in the comments, becoming Orthodox has given me a greater love and respect for my Catholic brothers and sisters. This video was great! New subscriber here. I submit for consideration 5 more Orthodox Saints who lived recently and are venerated locally as Saints of North America:
- St. Herman of Alaska (1756-1837)
- St. Innocent of Alaska (1797-1879, and my patron)
- St. Tikhon, Patriarch of Moscow, who lived and ministered in America (1865-1925)
- St. John the Wonderworker, of Shanghai and San Francisco (1896-1966, my parish’s patron)
- St. Olga of Alaska, canonized this year (1916-1979)
Even if someone doesn’t venerate or ask for their intercessions, these are 5 truly remarkable recent saints that anybody would benefit from knowing more about.
Thank you!
I love this ❤. thank you.
Important work of ecumenism here. Well done father Cole.
Ecumenism is a heresy that you Papists want to sicken the True Church with, but we Orthodox will not allow this ever.
nice vid, great way to share and learn about other saints besides catholic's saints.
Beautiful
this is a fascinating topic: the future reunion of east & west, beautiful, let's celebrate it's coming soon !!! we ARE ONE, BELIEVE.
beautiful
We Orthodox have so many more Saints to discuss...I hope you discover the Ancient church, Orthodoxy.💖👍
Wycliffe, Huss and many among protestants great saints too. Amen.
Thank you very much for this video. I am pleased to say that last month I was able to visit the Chapel of St. Xenia in St. Petersburg, Russia.
You have deepened my faith bless you ! How to pay you back but with making you known and prayer . Thank you
great video
Thank you for this video father Casey, I hope this video will be useful to our catholic brothers. God bless (and btw I know of some catholic saints). And yeah I would just like to mention one saint for anyone interested St. Joseph the Hesychast, there's a movie on youtube about him in english, you can learn a lot from him.
Hi! You Rock! Im thinking of becoming a Priest. Im not baptized Catholic yet. But i plan to be very soon. Father Chad Ripp. And Father Vince. Lampert have been inspiring... Peace and love in our Lord and Lady.
More please!
As I was enjoying this well researched post, I was reminded of a previous one you made praising our current Pope in defense of his detractors. You are a peacemaker and a scholar. How refreshing to share intelligent thoughts in a safe space.
I have read about St Elizabeth. Wonderful woman.

Happily shocked that you included an Armenian! For anyone interested, the English translation of the Narek (also sometimes referred to as "Speaking with God from the Depths of the Heart") by Tom Samuelian is wonderful. The prayers are intricately Biblically based and beautiful. Some of our other amazing Saints are Saints Gayene and Hripsime, Saint Santukht, Saint Nersess Shnorhali (the Graceful), and Saint Krikor Lusavorich (Gregory the Illuminator). That there are Christian women who grow up without the influence of Saints Gayene, Hripsime, and Santukht especially breaks my heart a little, although I know there are amazing women from all faiths.
My neighbor’s Greek Orthodox so I feel I get to celebrate Easter twice!
I'm Orthodox, and I have been enjoying your content for several years. Allow me to introduce you to a few more of our holy saints. There are so many I could list, but here are 5 more, plus one not yet canonized but hopefully will be soon:
St. Herman of Alaska (1751-1836)
St. John Maximovitch, archbishop of Shanghai and later San Francisco (1896-1966)
St. Maria of Paris (1891-1945)
St. Gabriel Urgebadze of Georgia (1929-1995)
Matushka Olga Michael of Alaska (1916-1979), a priest's wife who is not canonized but is venerated for her good life
Pope St. Kyrillos VI (1902-1971), Coptic Church
Pope “saint” Kyrillios, from the coptic church is not a saint in the Eastern Orthodox church.
@@mariorizkallah5383yeah OP said "Coptic Church" after listing St Kyrillos' name
This is a very nice change of pace from the more contentious, even if charitable, side of youtube that I tend to follow when the Catholic and Orthodox faith's intersect. Still figuring out what to think, but my God I wish that Christianity were never broken.
Read "A Comparison: Francis of Assisi and St. Seraphim of Sarov"
Thank you for being willing to teach me history and culture from other religions
Very nice Father Casey. I'd like to thank your lovely information about non Catholic Saints because Jesus Christ keeps witnesses to his kingdom in all the ages and every place in the whole world. Greetings from Egypt in where there are many Saints and Hermits
Good topic! Still not religious, but I enjoy your work
Fr Casey, could you do a video and/or series on great Franciscan saints throughout history? So many stories I'd like to learn more about
Can I add the woman that baptists revere, Lottie Moon, I considered suggesting we that catholic student center chapel in college be dedicated her, I was a member of the parish and a southern Baptist and she is like Mother Teresa for us.
@YAJUN YUAN, since she was a false prophet, we can grow up and thrive never knowing who she was.
@YAJUN YUAN Why are you so obsessed with that false prophet Ellen White? Calling her a 'saint' is beyond a stretch. She's right up there with false prophets like Joseph Smith and Muhammad. All blinded by satan. Get out of that SDA cult while there is still time!
