1. Fr. Seraphim is a personal friend of our family and our parish. He is the dearest “mushroom” I know. Thank you for interviewing him and posting these inspiring videos. ☦️

2. You got to be Saint not an idiot

3. I have heard that God doesn't seek the qualified but, He qualifies those He calls. I appreciate this video.

4. Revealing; not for the faint of heart.

5. Amazing, Thank you so much.

6. I always enjoy listening to Fr. Seraphim … his insight is spot on and his sense of humor refreshing. As I’ve said before, an old soul …. and that’s a good thing. Excellent video my friend, and it made my Friday that much better.

   ☦️🐝☦️

7. His closing remarks about the seriousness, maybe even severity, of monastic life is so refreshing to a world gutted by selfishness & individualism.

8. I’ve been on the Mull Monastery Pilgrimage and what an experience, visiting the beehive cells, caves and Holy sites of our Celtic Saints!☦️

9. Absolutely awesome.

10. Deeply resonant with me as part of a Celtic Christian community starting on the west coast of another Scottish Island, Bute. Runaringan.org

11. God bless you Father Seraphim!

12. Wow! I could listen to Father Seraphim all day. He is a Saint to me. How do we donate to the Monastery?

13. Is the first episode with Fr.Aldea available for viewing? Can't seem to find it. thanks

14. This was very interesting. I tried to subscribe to the podcast from the podcast page via iTunes, but got a message that the page does not exist. So I subscribed via email and hope that works.

15. Părinte Serafim,

    am văzut articolul la Basilica-ro, (https://basilica.ro/prima-manastire-ortodoxa-din-scotia-din-ultimul-mileniu-este-ctitorita-de-un-monah-roman/) prin care am ajuns și la acest video-clip, și am gândit că este bine să vă doresc succes în marea misiune care vi s-a încredințat prin decizia "Sfinților Celți". Îmi place ideea de cinstire a sfinților care au trăit și care au învățat corect în occident. Sunt surprins că puteți suporta frigurile scoțiene, întunericul, umiditatea cum spuneți în acel articol – că sunt pentru sfinția voastră un mediu favorabil. Se pare că sunteți omul potrivit locului.

    Este bine să știm despre sfinția voastră, să vă pomenim în rugăciuni. M-aș bucur dacă-mi lăsați o adresa de mail.

16. I appreciated his honesty and telling us that monastic life is not for everyone due to its difficulty. Still, just like the monks, we should engage in the fast even as they do and pray daily as they do.

17. How many brothers living there?
    What the power of God

18. Enjoyed this interview! It is encouraging to hear a person trying to discern God's Will as opposed to following his feelings. Such wisdom should be heeded!

19. Can someone explain the reason why they would kick new monks out for no reason. I understand that it’s a test but it kind of seems off to me. In other words, I don’t understand why someone should ask for forgiveness for something they didn’t do.

20. When God calls us we can't resist even if we think we can. One of the most important prayers,at least for me, is the prayer asking God for enlightenment.Also,I would like to comment on something in this video concerning depression. I feel depressed because as much as I would like to be able to live a life as the good father described I know that I can't.

21. i will pray for you too. thank you for sharing.

22. This guy is so fake

23. A BLM priest who routinely exhibits woke attitudes.

24. God bless Fr Seraphim. His is one of my favourite stories I've encountered since coming to Orthodoxy! 😊🙏
