Beloved Bishop! I just got Back to Iraq yesterday! I`m Baptized now! Glory be to God! under the name Athanasius. And also my brother Daniel. Please mention my other brothers so that they may also travel and receive God’s grace as well. + Thank you for this lovely Video! it was really Great!
@@TKA684 This is incredible news! Thank you for sharing and God bless you and Daniel. Do you see people still watch and respond to the video asking for prayers?
@@archbishopraphael-orthodox6653 Yes, there is Brother Youssef, Brother Hussein, and Brother Ali, whom we call Porphyrios. We all in Iraq ask for your prayers and always thank you for your love. They always ask me about you because they love you so much and they love your service and your love for us.
@@TKA684 I feel the joy in your words. And I hug each one of you. Praise be to God, always and everywhere and in all things! Praise be to God who gives all good gifts to man!
Hello, I need.. some help and stuff. I'm just confused. I'm a Catholic but I sort of agree with Orthodox knowledge, especially the Bishop being a "first among equals" (Primus Inter Pares). I share some knowledge. Like, I believe in Catholic stuff, and also Orthodox stuff. I'm confused about myself. Should I stay on one side? Or should I just accept myself as mixed? As the lack of Orthodox churches near my area, I've never really experienced being in a Orthodox Mass, but I have seen part of it's knowledge and they are.. they sort of help me with my life, not saying that Catholicism doesn't help me with my life, but Orthodoxy just has a lot of great advices. I have seen your videos, and that's especially where I catch a glimpse of Orthodox knowledge, and they are.. very helpful, and they are just great. You're spreading the word of God, and you're doing great it. But please help me.
Blessings! The two churches are sisters but estranged from each other. You will find many things that they do share but they come out in different forms. At the same time there are also many differences. I have always said it is like going to see a movie with a friend. You both saw the same picture but had a different experience from it. I know these things first hand. I am a convert from RC. I can't tell you the answer. You should earnestly pray about this. It would be very helpful if you could find an Orthodox church to visit. I can also recommend reading "The Orthodox Church" by Timothy Ware. If so inclined, maybe get an icon of the Virgin. She is known to guide people. There is no harm in any of these things. A good and fair comparison is the best start. The answer to your question ultimately is inside you.
Greetings Your Grace, thank you for explaining what pride leads to when we lose the consciousness of the WILL, by which we will be judged. Thank you❤
@@hilarion7663 Pride can be a good thing at times. But in the context of this video it is a deadly dragon. Blessings!

@ For the greater Glory of God ✝️☦️!
