Words can't describe what it's like for a spiritually thirsty, isolated westerner to listen to the Metropolitan. I wish there were many more hours of his teaching with English translation. Thank you Fr. Peter!
Fr. Peter I am becoming Orthodox because of your teaching and spiritual interviews you share. Glory to God and God bless you🙏
Glory be to God!!
What a beautiful way to describe one's mother's holiness as the "applied Gospel".
This is exactly what I needed to hear. Glory to God and thank you to Fr. Peter and Met. Neophytos. This was truly beneficial and a much needed source of wisdom to this young priest.
In Christ,
-Fr. Mikhail
Father Peter is like Paisios, going from flower to flower and enlightening the world! I love the specificity of this teaching it is new to me to hear the Word of God this way. Bless the Orthodox Ethos!
Bless Elder Ephraim of Arizona!
Except Paisios was a Monk!!
What a blessing! Thank you Orthodox Ethos for organizing this. Glory to God!
At last, to hear from a Metropolitan of God's Kingdom rather than one of the world!
Thank you Father Peter.
Glory to God
Yes! The Kingdom of God is our True Citizenship.
This world is fallen.
Humanity is broken.
And through it all, Christ brings us through all the darkness!
Great is the Name of the Holy Trinity! ☦️
Longing for God. Beautiful
I'm in South Africa, and feel blessed to have caught this livestream.🙏
Hello I lived in South Africa for 11 years it is a great country.
This spoke directly to my heart and is something I obviously needed to hear. Thank you, Fr. Peter Heers for allowing us to hear this interview with Met. Neophytos. I will be attending an Orthodox church for the first time this week and ask for your prayers for me and my wife as we start this new path, there's been much pushback on us going to an Orthodox Church.
May God give you strength and perseverance and patience to stay focused on the one thing needful, and to love the Truth with all your heart soul and mind and not allow human feelings and weaknesses to obscure this.
@@OrthodoxEthos Thank you for the blessing Father, it means a lot. I am very thankful I happened to stumble upon this channel when I did, God bless..
So deep…his holiness’ journey is so real, so genuine. It is impossible to hear his story and not believe in the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives. His story is not that of the imagination but of the divine guidance that occurs in a life. 🙏🏼🙏🏼✝️
Σας ευχαριστούμε Πάτερ Heers που φέρατε τον σεβασμιώτατο Μόρφου στην εκπομπή και ακούσαμε τον ψυχωφελή του λόγο. Ο Κύριός μας Ιησούς Χριστός μαζί μας!
Thank God for this interview! The Metropolitans videos in English have been a great blessing! May God bless all of you at Orthodox Ethos.
Would it be possible to have a Q and A session with the Metropolitan?
Possibly…in the Spring.
Can I thank you for transmitting the words of Metropolitan Neophytos of Morphou and for permitting the tone and tenor of the Metropolitan to be heard by not dubbing the Metropolitan’s words. The spirit of the man is as important as is his words. As for the icon of St Iakovos Tsalikis in the background, it is a reminder that the saints watch over us. May we too be an illuminated candle, sacrificing our life for the conversion of others.
Shaun Mulligan, many elderly people & those with poor vision are not able to read subtitles or moving text. How sad to do the hard work of translating & yet not have so many thirsty souls drink from the holy fountain! Dubbing allows them also to benefit from the teaching of our beloved Metropolitan. An alternative might be to provide transcripts, as that will help those who are unable to read moving text.
Can't wait... 🙏🙏🙏🕯️☦️
δόξα τω Θεώ πάντων ένεκεν! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼☦️☦️☦️🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
This is amazing. I love Metropolitan Neophytos. Never thought he would be on Orthodox Ethos.
I could listen to him all day.🙏
So inspiring to hear, there is no church here or closeby and so thankful for these episodes, such a blessing.
Oh Lord how beautiful you are!!! I am utterly dumbfounded. Glory to our Triune God forever!!! And thank you so much Father Peter for this extraordinary interview with our dearly beloved man of God, Metropolitan Neophytos.
Ναμου συγχορατε και να προσευχεστε γιαμενα τον Αμαρτωλο.
Thank you Father Peter, this Bishop is amazing ❤️
50:30
His advice for the beginning of spiritual life is very very helpful
God bless us all and guide us through these difficult times to avoid evil and purify our hearts
Thank God for everything . And thanks father Peter for your great work. I was looking for the interview since I met you in July, 21 in Atlanta airport. I am Elena , the Romanian . What a voice of father Neophytos. It s like it wake me up. It s what we need in this time. All the best. Doamne ajuta.
…Now we are visiting Greece…
Glory to God! Thank you Father Peter for translating Metropolitan Morphou’s words into English. We so desperately need the truth in this parched land.
What a beautiful, insightful interview. Glory be to God in the highest.
Δόξα τω Θεώ. Σας ευχαριστούμε. Με εκτίμηση Κλώνος Δημήτρης
Glory to God for all things ! ☦️☦️☦️🙏
Wow, what treasure here! How good is God, our Saviour! Thanks be to Him that we, the Orthodox throughout the world, have this beloved, this true Metropolitan! May the Lord guide & protect him always! Just read the transcript of this amazing interview posted on the OE website. Thank you Fr P & OE for posting it.
Really looking forward to this.
Greetings from Montreal Canada. Thank you so much for all your talks. They have brought much light in these dark times we live. 🙏🏻
Glory to God for showing me, the unworthy, his mercy and granting me this edifying lecture, what a feast for my soul! God bless both Fathers, if not to say Elders of our time!
God bless you both and again, and again!
2 giants of our faith and soldiers of our Lord .Glory to GOD!
Amazing, thank you so much for this, your eminence and Father Peter! And as Saint Porphyrios prophesied, listened from South Africa.
I found the Metropolitian's instruction about how to lead or instruct a person into bring prepared for praying very helpful.
Thank you for asking him to give a more full explanation of bringing the mind down into the heart.
There's a pattern seen in many saints...that of the fruits of the heartfelt prayers and deep faith of a very holy Mother. So as the Metropolitan says of his Mother and Grandmother as did Elder Ephraim of Arizona whose Mother kept Vigil in her kitchen until she was tonsured a nun. I also recall Elder Zachariah asking his Mother why she needed to do all those prostrations...to which she responded that it was ok because one day he would be a priest.
Beyond happy 😊
Amazing conversation! I did laugh because the Metropolitan's icon behind him looks exactly like him!
Excellent teaching this morning. 🕊
So much insight.
Thank you so very much. 🥰
Thank you for sharing your wisdom. It's a blessing to hear from you both addressing how to help the Holy Spirit transform those who are longing for a deeper walk with God.
🙏☦️🇬🇷 Δόξα Πατρὶ καὶ Υἱῷ καὶ Ἁγίῳ Πνεύματι. Καὶ νῦν καὶ ἀεὶ καὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων. Αμήν. Ἅγιος ὁ Θεός, Ἅγιος Ἰσχυρός, Ἅγιος Ἀθάνατος, ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς. Κύριε Ἰησοῦ Χριστέ, Υἱὲ τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἐλέησόν ἡμᾶς. 🙏☦️🇬🇷
And indeed listening from South Africa 🇿🇦☦️
Καλά παραδείσιο, YOUR EMINENCE! Thank you for your words and encouragement! Continue to pray for us+
Thank you father!
Merci beaucoup!🌷🌻⚘
Thank you father Peter for this beautiful GIFT of inviting bishop neophytos! May heaven consume you both!
Ευλογημένο "δίδυμο". Την ευχή σας Σεβασμιωτατε, την ευχή σας παπά-Πέτρο!!
Beautiful...the Metropolitan reveals many things; but I am particularly moved how he reveals the transferance of the Spirit of God's Fatherhood.
That itself, as I heard him describe it reveals the Procession of the Holy Spirit from the Father. Beautiful words.
Please repost this after the live for people who are not able to watch live. Thank you ❤❤❤
This is excellent. I've been waiting to share this.
I was hoping this would be dubbed in English, like your usual interviews. It's helpful for us that have a busy schedule and listen to your videos while driving or working. Nonetheless, I'm thankful you interviewed Metropolitan Neophytos. Glory to God.
It is very important to watch it as he is a representative of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit and God! And emanating in a man in glory right here! Too bad we cannot be there in person to have him bless Us! 🥺
We felt that it is important to hear his voice.
@@OrthodoxEthos, it is! But, if at all possible, it would be a huge blessing to many, if you could dub it as well, so that people can listen to this for a few minutes to hear our holy hierarch's voice & then listen to the meaning of his holy advice dubbed in another posting on this channel. Elderly & people with some diseases struggle with subtitles.
One can't have enough of this holy hierarch, the Metropolitan of Orthodox throughout the world. May God grant him many years to teach us, his worldwide flock! More please from him. O much, much more please!
@@agiasf7330 Alternatively, maybe OrthodoxWisdom can do a transcription in the future!
I disagree. The way Fr. Heers did it was good.
I am watching from Georgia, an orthodox country, thanks to God I was born into an Orthodox family, what a great blessing to be listening to two shepherds of the Orthodox flock, glory to God forever and ever!
Glory to God for all things! I am mostly speechless. As a catechumen, this was greatly insightful and encouraging. May God continue to bless and strengthen your ministries Father Peter, and His Beatitude Neophytos. Greetings from Canada.
PS. I am finding as I become closer to God, and as my desire for God increases, I am being pulled further away from my very atheistic and scientific university studies. Every time I go to class, or even attempt to study, I feel increasingly ripped from God and cast into inner darkness. Is this a sign I should take leave from my studies? Or is this a temptation I ought to overcome for the sake of Christ?
I suppose I am mostly humbly asking for your prayers on this matter brothers and sisters. Forgive me. Glory to God for all things.
It is certainly a sign you should take to heart. Anything that rips one from God should be avoided.
@@OrthodoxEthos Thank you for your words and your prayers. After much Prayer, and conversation with others, I have decided to try my best to suffer through this degree with God's help. God willing, I will graduate this Spring and be done with it and I can hopefully use my experiences to the Glory of God and the aid of my suffering brothers and sisters.
If this is against God's will, I am certain He will make this clear to me (and I pray that He does). He certain has his means of pushing us in different directions. Glory to God for all things.
@@OrthodoxEthos Glory to God and Thank you for your prayers. God has opened a number of options before me. I can technically graduate with a minor in Psychology and the Masters program I am looking into doesn’t care if I have a major or not.
Forgive me for this is all irrelevant but I thought it would be useful to see how God can arrange things sometimes. He is merciful and Loves us beyond all measure.
Weather I go to a Masters program at all is up in the air, for One thing is needful. May God help us. Amen.
Thank you Father Peter...such words of wisdom that we need to hear to sustain us in the spiritual warfare.
This interview is a gem, please dear Father Heers have M. Neophytos more often. Blessing, Christos Anesti
I wish I understood Greek. It must be a treat to actually hear it.
Ευλογία!
Glory to God for this beautiful talk 🙏
Jesus prayer has been much talked about, but explained in such a way! Thank you
I'm still processing this so i dont have a comment, but thought that I'd help feed the algorithm.
God bless you Met. Neophytos of Morphou, Fr. Peter Heers! and God bless those whom have seen, and have yet to see this Interview.
What a labour of love!
Thank you for your love Fr Peter, and the tireless edifying work you put into providing content like this. It is very soul profiting.
As for Met. Neophytos, what a True Hierarch, rightly proclaim the Word of His Truth!
Tranmissional sanctity from our contemporary Saints rests in this righteous Hierarch.
May God grant you and our Champion of Morphou, Many Years!!
Glory to God thank you for this helpful video!
Καταπληκτική και υπέροχή όλη η συνομιλία !!!! Ευχαριστούμε από καρδιάς !!!!
LEGEND
Thanks Be To Our God Fr Peter, for this wisdom filled conversation you posted for us to grasp.
So many topics and things of very deep spiritual discernment were presented to us.
I understood you and your questions, and I understood the Holy Elder/Bishop of Cypress’s answers. I received confirmation on many many questions I had within myself concerning the appropriate approach I/We Orthodox Christians must use going forward. I know everything you and The Bishop said we’re True. I’ve read the Saints and the Holy Fathers and that same Holy Spirit is here today with us as it was there present with Them.
As the Bishop stated, technology is helping Him speak to many faithful as well as many searching hearts all over this earth.
Elder Ephraim, of Blessed Memory, was my Spiritual Father at Saint Anthony’s in Arizona.
He gave me confession and spiritual guidance many times.
It’s God The Holy Spirit that has us in His Hands.
I understand to a degree, by God’s Grace some of the Fullness of Orthodox Christianity.
Metropolitan Maximos of Blessed Memory always instructed me, your primary job as a Christian is to acquire God The Holy Spirit.
God’s Mercy and Love is the confirmation of our struggles. Our God Given Talents used in service for our Lord Jesus Christ and in communion with His Church and Kingdom.
Thank you again for all your zeal and efforts to help us all!
Christ Is Our Good Shepard!
Christ is in our Midst!
Christ Is Truly Risen!
Ευχαριστούμε!
Please have mercy and turn on the subtitles so that those of us who don't know the language can be fed as well. Thank you!
Ευλογείτε Πατέρ,
ο Αγιος Δεσποτης της Μορφου εχει καρδια χρυσαφι και μας επισκοπει δια της Χαριτος οπου κι αν βρισκομαστε. Το εχουμε βοιωσει με ολη την δυναμη της καρδιας μας τα τελευταια χρονια. Δοξαζουμε τον Κυριο γιατι ξεδιψαει τις ψυχες μας με τον λογο του τον θεοπνευστο. Ευχη να μας εμπνεει ο αγωνας του συνεχως και αδιαλειπτως.
Επιτρεψτε μου πανω σε αυτην την ερωτηση σας να προσθεσω κατι που και μενα με ειχε απασχολησει. Οριζοντας το τι σημαινει Ορθοδοξο ηθος, βοηθαει να ξεκαθαρισει κανεις τι σημαινει προαιρεση της καρδιας η οποια αναλυεται με πολυ προσεχτικο τροπο στις κατηχησεις του Αγιου Κυριλλου Ιεροσολυμων και στις ομιλιες του μακαριστου π. Αθανασιου Μυτιληναίου που αφορουν τις κατηχησεις. Επισης ο καθορισμος και συγκριση των εννοιων ηθικη, και ηθος που διαφερουν ως εννοιες και που πολυ μπερδευεται η ερμηνεια τους.
Θα προσθετα οτι η ακροαση ομιλιων του π. Αθανασιου και αλλων πατερων αλλα και του Πανιερωτατου κ. Νεοφυτου πανω στο τι σημαινει εκκοσμικευμενη Εκκλησια και εκκοσμικευση της ζωης των Χριστιανων δημιουργει προσφορο εδαφος για να αντιληφθουμε τις παγιδες των επικυνδινων χρονων που ζουμε.
Με αγαπη Χριστου ευχη ο Κυριος να φωτιζει την καρδια και να ενδυναμωνει τον αγωνα σας.
Axios!
My Faith has be come strong through Geron Savvas Lauriotis who speaks the truth with Blessings Holy Fathers and Ecumenical councils.
Fr. Peter, Would you please interview Metropolitan Hierotheos? Thank you. God bless.
Thank you for your time & wisdom 🙏
What a blessing!!
I’ve been so excited for this as I love hearing - well per English translation- anything and everything this wonderful Metropolitan has to say. I’ve appreciated his fearlessness and steadfast faith when other bishops stumbled and gave in to the fear of covid. It’s my hope to one day be able to write a thank you letter to him stating as much.
This feels like a blessing to hear a longer talk than the short little clips around TH-cam.
Awesome pair!!
Thanks
Goodmorning from Austtralia Father Peter, and Agie Metropoliti Morphou. Thank you for this is very informative didachi for all from young to old. May our Lord Jesus Christ and Savior have mercy on us all.
Thank you so much father, seeing the ugliness all around, a distance took place between me and my creator asking god “ if you are present how can you allow all this happen to humanity”Watching Your interview cleansed my heart put me back on the path.
I am considering going to an Orthodox church.
I live in Istanbul Turkey appreciate if you have some suggestions how I can attend an Orthodox Church here in this Muslim country.
God bless you. Wishing you all the best.
Glory to God what a great interview! I wish it was English voice over to make it easier for us to listen as we work. God give you strength ☦️🔥
We understand. But we want people to hear the voice of the hierarch. We think it’s really essential to be able to understand the spirit and the ethos of the man.
@@OrthodoxEthos I completely understand Father and agree, perhaps have both versions? Maybe not now, but soon when you have a bit of free time perhaps. God bless your work.
....what a cognizant way to describe the way of not living in the world as an Orthodox Christian..."living a daily life and making plans without the Holy Spirit"....
Thank you Father Heers and Father Neophyto Morfou for this beautiful interview. Glory to God for everything !
NOTE:
FYI: Translation mistake at 47:50: “…to descend the NOUS (*not mind*) into the heart…”
The nous is not the mind, i.e. the rational intellect, but the SPIRIT or man, the higher faculty of the soul by which he communes with God.
Typo above, i think, for the Spririt of man. The nous.
Thank you for this conversation! We need people like the Metropolitan Neophytos and Fr Peter here in Mauritius.
Mauritius?! You live there? How is the church there now? I visited there and met with Bishop Nektarios of blessed memory 20 years ago.
@@OrthodoxEthos Yes, I do. The Orthodox community is tight-knit but still too small, isolated, a bit dispirited, to be honest. No mission, so to speak, as the community leans mostly towards the "heartlands" expat communities (most of whom only turn up at Christmas and Pascha, anyway). The Copts, on the other hand, have already set up a mission in the underprivileged areas, and seem to be growing.
Thank you for the wonderful, uplifting and edifying conference you painstakingly put together. My sister and I are still reeling from it. We hope to be at the next one, through the grace of God. 🙏🏻☦️❤️
So loved listening - truly listening to every word that was said -
Thank you dearly beloved Father Peter and Bishop Neofytos Morfou
I pray us all a true and good repentance and His abundant mercy and great love upon us all ❤
May you all be blessed
Love from down under Australia
O Lord! May my nous not falter! 🙏🏻☦️🙏🏻

What is the intro Chant?
Fr Bless I am learning Koine Greek and am wondering do I use the Erasmian or the modern Greek pronunciation ? Thank you. Looking forward to the stream.
Modern
@@Kristradamus Thank You
Modern Greek for sure.
@@OrthodoxEthos Thank you.
@@joshualiriano1270 Never use the erasmian pronunciation, it is not Greek. It is inaccurate and westernized, not real Greek at all. Modern Greek pronunciation is the way to go.
