Blessed Holy Friday! I wish everyone a very blessed resurrection and Paschal feast!
This is the first episode from my interview with Orthodox hieromonk, speaker, and podcaster, Father Seraphim Aldea.
In this episode, Hieromonk Seraphim discusses prayer and how one might more beneficially approach #prayer.
Hieromonk Seraphim is establishing the first #Orthodox #monastery in #Scotland in a thousand years…and he needs our help! Please learn more about his work, and how you can help him in his efforts:
Also, I recommend his podcast, “Through a Monk’s Eyes,” on Ancient Faith Radio:

Frumos Om !!!!
Oof. As soon as he said “potential persons” I had to pause and let that sink in.
Thank you so much for this interview and your channel, which I just found! This interview is incredibly helpful to me! In his gentle yet direct manner, Hieromonk Seraphim has helped me understand that I am a work in progress and its ok to be trying different types of prayer, its ok to change my prayer style (in fact its good!) and that reading our Holy Fathers IS prayer! I always doubt myself and think I'm doing my practices wrong and chaotically. Hieromonk Seraphim makes me feel that its to be expected not because I'm wrong but because I'm still forming as a person! I need not be so critical of myself, just keep praying all these different ways, accept my infancy as a person and let go of that wasteful self critique about that aspect of my spiritual journey at least! Thank You! God Bless Everyone!
This teaching is helpful beyond words. Thank you and bless you.
I am encouraged by this talk. Thank you for your ministry to us. God Bless.
Enlightening words. Thank you.
Excellent insight and advice on prayer 🙏🏽
Thank you for posting this interview by Fr Seraphim. I have been looking at everything I can find on him and what he says and it never fails to bless and teach me.
I find this disturbing. There is no assurance of salvation.
the introductions I find are unnecessary oftentimes
I can continously listen to Father Seraphim and everytime I keep on learning new things. Every time different words vibrate, and hopefully I will get it in the end. I am very happy that father Seraphim is real! God bless!
Awesome!
God bless and keep holy Heiromonk Seraphim Aldea.
Saints are with us.
Prayer to me is just talking to God. He already knows I'm not perfect. I say the Jesus Prayer once or twice a day, on a 33-bead prayer rope I got from the Holy monks at Mt. Athos (sent off for it). Otherwise I just talk to God. I ask Him to make me more patient and merciful, and I pray for loved ones and for the people in Syria, Palestine, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, and any other Peoples who are invaded and occupied by "powerful" nations. I was a Baptist as a child and young adult, so I don't know any formulaic prayers and have read little of the saints or the Church fathers. I am studying Orthodoxy-I know the Orthodox Church is the original Church, and is still the only Church. I am still learning-there is a lot to learn about Orthodoxy! Lots of history and lots of tradition, lots of saints and Church fathers that I knew nothing about as a Baptist. Also, its a different vocabulary and I am learning the phrases Orthodox Christians say. Baptists have a different set of phrases. Highest respect for Father Seraphim Aldea, have watched his videos before and I know he is sincere in his love for God.
Thank you, amazing. Very heartening, and 'liberating' in a truly Christian sense of the term.
Hello, I just found this blessed channel and wonderful Hieromonk Seraphim Aldea and WoW!!! So much advice and comfort from his thoughts and help. Thank and God bless you always ☦
Xpictoc Bockpece!
This is much like meditation,but focusing on the holy spirit
A true man of God, beautifully helpful advice
He could use our held to buy himself a luxury BnB to live in.
There is a very important aspect of Orthodoxy that is looking at the viewer right in the face in his sermon… and that is – Orthodoxy leads you towards God to the certain point and let's you go further by yourself. It is by mean of finding your own path. Brother Seraphim talks about experimenting and looking for a best way that accommodates you in your path. That path can't be generalized… it must be a unique for every single one of us. Because we are unique persons.!
Sa traiti, parinte!
Beautiful
An amazing vedeo thank you father may God bless you amen
Thank you for this video, I’m very excited to find out about the monastery in Mull as I’m in Britain. Also I love this as I’m learning more about Orthodoxy it’s speaking more and more truths to me. God bless
God is a person?
We are being created? We are in the process of being made? Who then is making us?
🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you for Hieromonk Seraphim Aldea's Guidance on Prayer. I really love his talks, which I find are in Reality,, Real Prayer, as sincerity is so apparent. Thank you for your Dedication and Love to The Blessed Trinity and Most Holy Theotokos, which assists and enables us to find the Way to God, Hieromonk Seraphim Aldea. Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy.
Our safety nets keep us from falling to the biggest safety net of all, because we still doubt there is one. Even if we have seen it or felt it.
