Hieromonk Seraphim Aldea gave this #Lenten talk* while on his recent visit to the United States.
Father Seraphim was tonsured as a monk in 2005 at Rasca monastery in Bucovina, Romania. He received his PhD in theology from the University of Durham (UK) for a thesis on the ecclesiology of Elder Sophrony Sakharov. He is currently in the process of establishing the first #Orthodox #monastery in the Scottish Isles in over a millennium. Father Seraphim hosts annual pilgrimages to holy sites in the British Isles and produces the popular Ancient Faith Radio podcast, “Through a Monk’s Eyes: https://www.ancientfaith.com/podcasts/monkseyes

So good, thank you. Were there other talks from Fr. Seraphim that will be posted?
Excellent talk. I've listened to Fr. Seraphim on AFR and he is inspiring. He is so 'real' and speaks the truth from his experience. So glad I found this channel. Glory to God! Thank you.
This was extremely helpful! He brought hope and joy through his words to fully use the remaining time in Lent to metania and be honest with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. You must visit Newport RI and Block Island, Grape Island, Martha Vineyard, etc to taste the Blessings of Saint Brendan the voyager journey and the Celtic Ascetics to East Coast
Your heart is so true and honest. The Lord works through you and it shows.
Beautiful.. Thank you!
Greetings from Bulgaria, friends!
Thank you so much for sharing this it is wonderful!
this man is very wise.
Cannot believe Fr was here and I had not a clue. Urg. Thank God Protecting Veil has recorded and made it possible. Fr. Seraphim, we are praying for you, the monastery, and the sisters in our daily prayers. Blessed Resurrection. Thank you for this talk.
Something I’ve heard from various Orthodox, including Fr here, is the idea that we should be fully aware and repentant of our own sinful wretchedness, but also generous towards ourselves and not beat ourselves up. How does one do that?
Yes! One hour! Great! So much better than the ten minutes clips
I love these interviews you do. And Fr. Seraphim is very dear to me. Thank you!
For those interested in learning more about Orthodoxy, you might enjoy my channel. I have recordings of the lives of Saints and their Teachings.

I wonder what kind of the people would dislike the content of this video… We need to pray for them.!
I always hold this story close in my thoughts:
I read an account of a 30’s something atty (?) in Massachusetts who grieved because his father had died. He thought of the family situation and realized his father had a brother that he had not seen in 25 years , not since he was about 5 or 6. He did the bold step of trying to find his uncle. As a kid, he remembered his father’s brother as a fun guy , very nice but who just vanished. The uncle was hardly ever mentioned. It turned out the uncle was not far away … at a Trappist monastery… The atty was a fallen away catholic. he went visited the monastery.. in great fear . Turns out the abbot was very welcoming and said the uncle was such a prayerful person he was allowed to live in a hut as a hermit in the monastery forest.
Well.. the nephew took a very slow walk along this path.. scared as heck .. a just as he was about to step up to knock on the cabin door, it swing open with his uncle sticking his head out to spit out a peach seed.
His holy uncle recognized him immediately..
The uncle invited him into the hut … they spoke for 2 hour’s.. his hermit uncle was exactly as he remembered as a 5 year old kid. The nephew forgot he was a scary hermit.
thank you for sharing.
Thank you Brother..I used your videos to strengthen others who are down.
Father is stuffed full of wisdom and beauty of mind and heart. He is walking the earth in the very sweet footsteps of Jesus, and the Holy Spirit is walking with him. I think his humility makes him dread speaking. Every word from his mouth is so special and enlightening, it would have to be humility that makes him not realize this. God Bless him and Mull Monastery.
love how you trust the space to share your heart .. thankyou
