Elder Ephraim of the Vatopedi Monastery in this video is giving an address during an E-syanixis in which he encourages today’s Orthodox Faithful to remain firm in the Faith, despite the troubling times that we are going through. He also discusses many impactful experiences that he lived at the feet of Elder Joseph of Vatopedi, which allowed him to see first hand what it means live a sanctified life. Finally, he talks about how the faithful should not fear receiving Holy Communion, as it is not a source of infection but rather a source of healing.
