They told my wife and I our son was going to be Down’s syndrome because the test showed markers and we should consider aborting him, but he’s now 21 and just fine.
I am an old widow of a WWII Veteran who was able to go to the Canonization of St John of Shanghai and St Francisco. My late husband became Orthodox who was Lutheran before. St John changed our lives. Glory to God in His Saints.
*Saint* Seraphim has been glorified in Georgia. It only remains for the rest of the Church to follow and recognize the truth! St. Seraphim Rose, pray for us!
I highly recommend his book "Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future"...especially in these difficult times. His books regarding his path to Orthodoxy were most valuable. A good man, priest and teacher to us all.
Fr. Paul. My names John. I’ve been approaching holy Orthodoxy for the past two years. Struggling in the faith. I’ve become a catechumen at an antiochian Orthodox Church and I’ve just stumbled upon this video. It’s an incredible testimony. I’m very moved and even laughed out loud several times at the miracles. It’s been a very very difficult couple of years (well many years but things seemed to have crescendo’d upon first taking steps toward orthodoxy and attending liturgy). I’m happy to say things have been improving since beginning a small prayer life and becoming more serious in trying to become a member of the community of faith at my local parish. I have a long long way to go and am still deeply flawed and in sin, but videos like this and the help of my new friends in the faith have given me a lot of hope. I’m also nervously praying for some clue as to what to do with myself (just as you did when you were younger). Please pray for me if you can Fr. Paul and god bless you.
John, God bless. Please indeed continue the path to salvation. In time under the direction of your spiritual father and God will bring you in properly to the Orthodox faith through baptism chrismation for the good of your soul salvation. Once we become Orthodox the world view changes. We see things with an orthodox perspective. Sometimes we change friends in the process; those that are productive and promote a dignified life in Christ and help you on the road to pleasing the Lord by words and actions. Even jobs change /career jobs. For example, if we were in a rock band before Orthodox and the words and the tone of the music is very influential by ways of demonic behavior, we make a big change to benefit those from what we do and what keeps us safe in the eyes of the Lord. As far as salvation. So yes a new journey will begin for you. So now you must pray for God's holy will each and every day and to trust that he will take care of you no matter how dim things may seem. And the bad influences around you now that you will put on Christ. Keep the focus on Jesus Christ again, do not lose trust in the Lord and watch God's Providence move you to what's pleasing unto him. This is a struggle, but through your prayer and fasting and faithful endurance of Christ, you will arrive by the will of God.
That guitar player was George Black. My brother Grisha Dobrov was his guitar teacher and my brother built the cabins/monastery in Platina with Fr. Seraphim, and also did a lot of translations for him. George saw the icons in my brothers room during his guitar lessons and the rest is history. My Godmother Valentina Zavarin brought Eugene Dennis Rose to the Russian Circles and Church. I attended Jordanville and on my way. Slava Bogy. Great Video. I would love to visit Fr. Baba. I went to Foothill College also. Lots of great memories here.
What an incredible story. I was at St. John's canonization when was around 14. I was born into orthodoxy and have had a difficult time getting my life together. I'm going through some hard times mentally and spirituality right now. Somehow I came across this video looking up Fr. Seraphim. Fr. Paul please pray for me. Others are welcome to as well. Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me a sinner.
Thank you dear brother Timothy for your efforts on bringing this to fruition. It is a story so dear to our family and I am very happy that the world gets to hear it. It is a story that not only honors our beloved Blessed Seraphim Rose but also Glorifies Christ and further shows how He is wondrous in His Saints! Blessed Father Seraphim pray for us ☦️ My prayers are with you and yours brother. + In Christ, Rdr. Nicholas
Listening to your story a 2nd time - much gratitude to you for gifting me this indescribable feeling, this embrace, of pure love. *I met Eugene the Monk at UCSC. His lectures remain profound in my mind, body and soul. I visited him in Platina. His death struck me like a bolt of lightning. In 2017 I returned to Platina and like you, I saw him. He hugged me, blessed my journey. Wow - here I am listening to one of his students.
I first read about SAINT SERAPHIM ROSE,by accident and I also felt such kindness and Holiness I don't know how that happened but I told many about him✝️ In the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit. AMIN✝️🙏🕯️
Many many pearls… In a quite place, listen to this heavenly vitamin for the soul, over and over again! There are so many spiritual lessons within this testimony! Actually each sentence has a lesson! Humility brothers and sisters, humility! In Christ Paisios
wow, this was so moving. Orthodoxy has been swirling around me. I watched a service online and went to bed so peaceful and said to the Lord, I found you. Fr. Seraphim Rose was one of the first monk, I heard about. I want to read more of his writings. This has given me more incentive to read his works. Thank you
Life and Works is best, and out of print for now, expensive, but worth it. Fr. Damascene is working on third edition but poor health has slowed this. Pray for him. @@hannamengesha9847
Thank you for uploading this amazing testimony today on the 41st anniversary of Blessed Fr. Seraphim's repose. I've had the privilege of meeting Fr. Paul Baba on several occasions as well as visiting Fr. Seraphim's monastery in Platina and St. John's holy relics at Holy Virgin Cathedral in San Francisco. This story brings them all together in a most wonderful way. St. Seraphim and St. John of San Francisco, intercede for us. 🙏☦
Thank you Father Paul. You are truly blessed to have met and experienced these Saints and their miracles that guided you to your journey to serving Jesus Christ Our Lord and Savior! No other way to salvation of our bodies and souls! 🕯🕯🕯🕯
I can’t stop watching this video. Amazing interview! Fr. Paul is an excellent story teller! Thank you for continuing to deliver amazing spiritual stories from amazing people 🙏
Omgosh! Just the interview I wanted! Glory be to God! Too bad I can’t listen to it before traveling to Platina tomorrow Lord willing! I hope Fr Paul is there tomorrow and Saturday! Along with you! 🙏🏻☦️🙏🏻
This video helps me a lot, i have temptations to going back to my previous life as a jazz musician , trying to find consolation from music instead from Lord, may Lord have mercy on me.
It's hard because Jesus never seems to offer any consolation. At least in my life, sounds like your experience may be similar. I've never felt the love and mercy that Christians always talk about. I've only ever felt ignored and rejected by Christ, despite doing my best for years to live as a Christian. But whether I'm trying to have a relationship with Christ or not, He just never seems to be there.
@@whitemakesright2177 Have you read anything from the saints? Especially the contemporary ones, if not, you haven't join into the Church yet in terms of living as a Orthodox Christian spiritually and authentically.
@@1989221 Yes, I have. I've been involved in Orthodoxy for 5 years (baptized for 3.5 years), and I was very zealous until about a year ago. Nothing I read from the saints ended up being true or useful. Just a bunch of superstition. Jesus has never answered any of my prayers in any way. Not even "Lord have mercy." He's never done anything but ignore me. The simplest explanation is that He simply isn't there, that the whole religion is made up. I've never experienced anything that would make me think otherwise.
@@whitemakesright2177 I feel it too brother. In these times we must remember that Christ works on His time, not ours. We may wish for Christ to triumphantly grant our ever prayer, but then we are making Christ a genie in a bottle. I tell you that Christ is there and that we are all living through great trials, we are all separated by modern technology and it isn't right or natural, but this is our trial. To remain faithful even in the silence and isolation. The devil is doing this to try to destroy our orthodox faith by isolation, we must hold fast to the faith and not let the devil separate us from the church, no matter what. These are odd times we are living in and it will likely get harder, but God will give strength to those who persevere to the end. No matter what happens, no matter how depressed the demons make us feel, no matter how many arrows are shot at us, no matter how much despair and hopelessness, we must hold fast and remember that our God will come through and we must never quit no matter how hard things get, it is all lies from the demons.
I listen to this and I’m so humbled and grateful. I have heard about Fr. Seraphim’s sanctity and felt the ambivalence among Orthodox about his life & writings, but now I understand his holiness thanks to Fr. Paul. It truly seems to me this is precisely the moment in history we need to glorify this Saint. His life speaks volumes to our greatest needs as a culture. May the Lord have mercy! God is wonderful in His Saints!
Glory to God!💛🕯🕯🕯God's Grace comes to all who "open the door to Him" when He knocks ... May our Lord Jesus Christ and Savior protect you and your family and give you the strength to help open the eyes of peoples hearts and noos!🕯🕯🕯
Father, my heart can hear Saint Seraphim speaking through your heart, it is like you are one, one in The One and Only, Our Lord Jesus Christ😊 you have also been blessed with the gift of telling🙏such a music for the heart, Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Father Paul, thank you, thank you so very much for these very moving and heart rending experiences. Your witness is absolutely incredible and I also pray for Blessed Seraphim Rose's Canonization. Pray for us, Blessed Father Rose and Saint John of San Francisco, that we may be made worth of the promises of Christ Our Lord.
Only 20 minutes in and already riveted this kind of content exists. -Pursuing catechism but the flesh do be doing what it loves- the Jesus prayer and the perspective and guidance of our corresponding spiritual fathers of our age, like Fr Seraphim, to help keep in the fight against our passions. God Bless☦️☦️☦️
Just listened again, and again I was deeply moved by the experiences with SAINT SERAPHIM ROSE, Just listening to Archpriest Paul Baba is such a kind and peaceful person full of love for us and our Saints, Who Are Always here for us all. LORD JESUS CHRIST SON OF GOD HAVE MERCY ON US.Amin ✝️🙏🕯️❤
Thank you dear Father Paul I can listen to you endlessly about your walk with these holy Saints ☦️ Spoke to my inner being and I pray that beloved Father Seraphim continues to pray for us all ☦️ ❤☦️🙏🏼 Love to you
This was wonderful! Thankyou for this lovely reminisce of time spent with this Saint...For those wanting to understand today's world, Fr Seraphin's lecture series is required reading! Please find on the internet "The Orthodox Survival Course" It is not yet in print but will be published from the lectures some time this year I believe. It is a truly stunning walk through history and explains exactly how we have arrived where we are today. Thus far, my favourite quote is "...We must understand first of all, what is world history, what are the forces that shape world history...There is God and the Devil and world history goes on between these two forces, these two adversaries, and man's heart is the field on which it is played out."
The impression of Fr Seraphim Rose is spot on, Thank you so much for this video. If you see this Father Paul, I wanted to ask what I should do. I'm 17 and about to leave high school. I'll graduate with an associates degree, and I'm still a catechumen. (getting baptized in December) (my priest is waiting for me to be 18 before I get baptized)I feel like I'm drawn to the priesthood, but I'm not sure what to do right now since Its too early. Thank you
During this time of your young age it's important to stay spiritually nourished -stay busy in God. Visit monasteries, continue to pray and worship God in church services as much possible. Patience is important.. pray everyday for God's will and watch his Providence. St Paisios of Mt Athos, told my friend, " if you have interest in being a priest, go to seminary and decide there. Learn there and see where God takes you. Important to share your thoughts with your priest and let him guide you.
Proceed with caution! Very inspirational I also get a lot out of the teachings of Father Seraphim Rose. But I was also warned about him by a nun associated with the Boston monastery. This none that warned me about him also had some pretty bizarre ideas about me and so as far as I'm concerned I very much enjoy learning from other seraphim Rose I asked the metropolitan and our church and he's had nothing bad to say about father serafim Rose. Excellent video keep up the good work at may God bless you and your family
@@orthodox1717Sometimes that is exactly why they inspire controversy. Christ brings the sword of discernment through His Saints, dividing good from evil. The lack of compromise is convicting to worldly souls (like mine).
Pray for us fr.seraphim rose for me and my kids and my brother and sister in the Orthodox Church and good people my they come to Jesus Christ church ⛪️ the only one amen 🙏🏼☦️☦️☦️☦️☦️🙏🏼
It is seems to me that for every Christian it is very important, useful and even necessary to read the wonderful work by our beloved father Seraphim Rouse titled "Orthodox Survival Course". Apart from, I am sure that the biography of father Seraphim Rouse written by hieromonk Damascene is also worth reading, for this book shows us all the inward and outward details of forming of father Seraphim Rouse’s intellectual and spiritual activity. May God bless you.
They told my wife and I our son was going to be Down’s syndrome because the test showed markers and we should consider aborting him, but he’s now 21 and just fine.

Normally you wait 80-100 years and if his bones are intact and smells fragrant then you could call him a saint.
@@petern1945 I know. Nevertheless, numerous exceptions exist in the Church's calendar. This is definitely one of those exceptions.

I remember making a banya in that little hut when I visited the monastery with a friend more than 20 years ago.
Please pray for my wife Cathy. That she would be open to Orthodoxy. Thank you all.
It is seems to me that for every Christian it is very important, useful and even necessary to read the wonderful work by our beloved father Seraphim Rouse titled "Orthodox Survival Course". Apart from, I am sure that the biography of father Seraphim Rouse written by hieromonk Damascene is also worth reading, for this book shows us all the inward and outward details of forming of father Seraphim Rouse’s intellectual and spiritual activity.
May God bless you.
