- Fr. Maximos Constas is Senior Research Scholar at Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology in Brookline, MA, an internationally acclaimed Patrologist, and a monk of the Monastery of Simonopetra on Mt. Athos. His lecture series entitled Confession and Spiritual Direction; Mary Greeted Elizabeth: Witnessing Christ in the World Today; The Life and Teaching of St. Maximos the Confessor; Concentrated Prayer; Prayer and the Heart in an Age of Technology and Distractions; Lord and Master of My Life: Reflections on the Prayer of St. Ephraim the Syrian; Counsels on the Holy Priesthood; The Pedagogy of Grace; Saints, Sanctity and the Life of St. Raphael of Brooklyn are available here at Patristic Nectar Publications. In this interview Fr. Maximos unpacks and reveals the godly legacy of one of the great elders of the contemporary age: Father Aimilianos of Simonopetra.
I am Aimilianos nephew. My mother and Aimilianos were half-siblings. I had a chance to visit him in Greece and spend three weeks at Meteora with the monks and my grandfather in the 70's. His father, my grandfather Christos worked at the gift shop and we would come up and down in the basket. I also spent time with Aimilianos at Rochester, Mn. That was the last time I saw him.
One of his spiritual children opened a monestary close to my city in Oklahoma
It's been a major impact on the people who visit and learn from them
How nice for you to share . What is the monastery ? Which spiritual child opened it ? Is he or she still living ?
@@constancedemmas423 he's elder Dionysius kalambokas, he was also close to elder philotheos zervakos, he is either slandered or loved it seems no in between
It called st.iakovos new studion in Piedmont Oklahoma
Thank you for your answer and description. I did not know about St Iakovos the studite Monastery before today . I am familiar of another one ; the women’s monastery in Maryland ( St Nina’s) I enjoy listening to another one of your Uncle’s spiritual Children lately on TH-cam :H.G.Bishop Emelianos of Meloa . Love the way he explains your uncle’s teachings of St Hesychios from the Philokalia on Nepsis . He also has all great love and respect for his spiritual father Elder Aimelianos. Nice to meet you
@@constancedemmas423 🖤🖤🖤🖤☦️☦️☦️☦️ that's awesome
Fr. Josiah, thank you so much for all that you do. As a Protestant moving toward Holy Orthodoxy I’ve learned so much and appreciate you. Christ Is Risen!!!
Truly he is Risen! ☦️
@ The Crate Collective, may the Lord Jesus Christ lead you & guide you on your journey to the Apostolic Faith! Indeed Christ is Risen!
Read Elder Aimilianos’s “Marriage: The Great Sacrament”. It was probably the most beautiful, convicting sermon / written work on marriage I’ve ever read.
Having only my been orthodox just over a year, it’s a comfort to get to experience a living saint as he clearly was. The first moment I set eyes on him on utube, it was a broadcast without subtitles and as an Englishman we aren’t renowned for learning other languages, yet I was drawn to him and was blessed by him without understanding a word he said!

I don't know too much about the orthodox church, but I truly love all those who really love the Lord Jesus Christ, God bless
I'm new as well. My advice to you is, if you have no one stopping you, pursue a with all your heart. My wife is against Orthodoxy but has softened a little.
Thank you isn't enough.Fr. Trehnam God bless you both.Thirsting for more .Greetings from Greece.
I'm Catholic but I love your channel Father. I really wish Fr. Maximos's talks and speeches were more widely available because he is such an amazing speaker.
Josh D on patristic nectar website I believe there are some audio lectures of Fr Maximos available
Josh. The Church in its original form is Orthodoxy. It is the closest to Christ and his Apostles. I too am a Catholic and still practising, but never knew anything about the Orthodox church until I visited the Holy Mountain in 2014. If ever you get a chance to visit Mount Athos, you will see how life changes. Some of the monks you meet there will take you on a trip of a lifetime to the Highest heavens and bring you back to where you are and remind you constantly that life here on earth is just a passage.
@@joeeshwar8578 and Laxisque, please allow your body to follow your heart. Come Home.
Rome broke the west from The TRUE faith and innovated much, trapping us into scholasticism and rules which were never of THE Way !!
Peace be with you.
@@katherine3486 Thanks Catrina. Until I was 30 I never knew anything much about Orthodoxy. I come from the South of India where the majority are Catholics who practise the West Syriac liturgy of the Orthodox Church. My visit to the Holy Mountain in 2014 was the biggest wake-up call. Again, even to become an Orthodox one needs a special invitation from the Lord because to be an Orthodox, one needs to be chosen. If the Lord allows, I will. As of now, John Climacus is leading my life. My favourite is the Ladder.
Bowing in Reverence and Gratitude for Fr Aimilianos of Simonopetra. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of The Living God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
Outstanding as always Father! Thank you so much!
At the 17:18 mark where the explanation of Father Aimilianos shares God's pain and suffering as ours is both beautiful and comforting. Thank you Fathers for this wonderful video. I ordered recommended "The Orthodox Word" for further study.
Very nice interview :) Greetings from Serbia.
Hristos vaskrese!
If only we would have known Fr Maximos was nearby - God keep and bless you dear Maximos! Perhaps as you visit, your prayer for these parishes will effect a true change to the Orthodox Faith and humility which is somehow not understood. We honor and praise God for Father Maximos' work in translation for us as we need this teaching so desperately ! I "met" Elder Aemilianos (1986 as seminary student) as I prayed from his sermon "Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me.." for the first time, and was pierced in heart and body with the Holy Spirit's power and wept three days after. What power in his prayer for us, and how blessed we were to partake of this grace of His Spirit! O wonderful lover of Mankind - Lord Jesus Christ - help us understand our Holy Faith without the influence of prideful arrogance that separates us from each other so easily as converts.
Blessed Elder Aimilianos, pray for us!
This is such an uplifting conversation between two enlightened holy men about another enlightened holy man. Today our world is enriched by the sharing of videos such as these. I humbly thank you both for sharing your thoughts and insights. Father Maximos' presence for Christ is being felt around the world by his teachings and translations. Thank you both again for this video!! WA state, USA
Thank you for the interview
What an incredible interview! PatristicNectarFilms what you are doing is a phenomenal job. Elder Aimilianos was God's chosen man. His words are useful notes for any person longing for God. All your Videos are keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. Above all who else can talk about the beloved Elder than Fr. Maximos of Simonos Petra. Best wishes and prayers.
I always enjoy your broadcasts
Informative, not boring and inspirational.
Thank you .
Beautiful so precious
I love these thoughtful interviews--thank you for all your work!

Your blessing, Fr +
Truly a beautiful interview! May we have the prayers of Elder Aimilianos!
💓💓💓
GLORY TO GOD FOR ALL THINGS!!
What a wonderful portrait of a holy man!
Thanks very much for this video, from a Catholic brother in Sydney Australia. How I hope and pray that one day our churches may be reunited!
John Obeid Forget about that - become Orthodox for your souls sake !!
That would be such a joy!

Bless God you my dear
I so wish the Psalms set to music were available on TH-cam.
I think some are...
Psalm 117 m.th-cam.com/video/6vBg9nS9m_8/w-d-xo.html
There are others too if you search “orthodox chant psalms”
th-cam.com/video/dwp6ttLBwLQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=0zzGS6zue4Hn0fyI
Search choir of simonopetras and you will fiind some of them.
The Psalms are usually not read at the Antiochian Orthodox Liturgy nor at many...the psalms at the beginning of our Divine Liturgy "wash away" the world's "dust" of the week as we approach the Kingdom of God with its people offering themselves with Christ's own self-offering. We await the transforming of the Descent of the Holy Spirit in the sanctification of our Gifts and His Divine Energies filling us with our reception, and humble prayer accompanying. Amen O Lord have mercy on us, through the prayers of Saintly Elder Aemilianos whose anniversary of repose is approaching May 9th!
Smerenia Doamne Ajuta ne!

Could you please share the name of the music track?
there are more similarities than differences between people.
How are named in greek, the two teachings referenced in 22:58? In which greek book can we find them?

@@larrycera9276 Thank you very much!!!
So... Related this time. Around each one of us there's demonic attacks. Around all of us. Cannot escape that... Then you take that upon you, and Angels come and save you and whisper what to say to people... For some grave sins, one of them being the sin of blasphemy, the Angels have to leave your side....
Singapore is kind of like a similar place!! Not like California. Same ball-park.

This is great! Death to the World! Hardcore punkrock Christians! I look at these videos and see thumbs down and wonder who the hell does that? The devil is alive....

Why don't you wear a wedding ring?
I thought we weren't supposed to call anyone on earth our father... God bless.
Scripture also says we aren’t supposed to call anyone teacher...I would venture to guess that you’re guilty of saying both, my friend.
@@IAMFISH92 sure, but I still will never call a religious leader father unless it is God Himself.
Trail of Truth that’s good for you. But if you want to take that passage as literally as most Protestants do then you shouldn’t be calling your own father “father” either.
@@IAMFISH92 I DON'T!!! Miss know it all!!!
Oh! A "Catholic" good! Maybe you should look into what your "pope " (protector of pedophiles everywhere) has been saying, blaspheming God!!!!!!!
lets learn more about the WORD of GOD and JESUS not these lame guys life the Orthadox church left Jesus LONG ago sorry to say it puts tradishion first NOT jesus folks
Haha 😂😂
