1. Thank you Fr Spyridon for this sermon. It touches me, the sinner , very deeply. God bless you

2. Thank you it is so difficult, this past week I lost faith because of a problem and then when everything got back to normal I saw how stupid I wad. The worst is that it shows how weak I am cause if things didnt get solved, and the struggle had to be harder, what would I do? Lose my faith forever? I am very ashamed, Lord Jesus lovef us so much and died out of love for us and that's how I "love" Him back…. what a pack of blood and excrement I am. Lord Jesus have mercy, you know I'm not worth!

3. Thank you for this word, Reverend.

4. How can we reconcile church authority titles of "father, rabbi" with the words of Matthew 23:8-10?

5. Fr Spyridon Bless ,
   Yes- don’t stay down – don’t lose hope -EVER !
   Our Weakness can also become ‘blessing in disguise’ – our own weakness is where temptation comes from- repentance and the church mysteries will strengthen us –
   Sufferings and struggles are truly for our own benefit+

   Lord have mercy!
   Thank you Father, pray for me a sinner

6. Hello Father Spyridon, I want to say that your videos have a great impact on me. I suffer from overwhelming feelings of guilt and pain at my sinfulness, and this hurts my faith. This is coupled with obsessive thoughts that have plagued me since childhood. Sometimes, in the fog of the mind, it is difficult to see Christ and follow him. But I want to say that God has used you to encourage me many times in the past, and also in the present. Your talks clear up my mental fog and cynicism, and constant doubting. God bless you!

7. Thank you.

17. Thank you Father Spyridon. I am battling to live right and make the right choices, and I sometimes stumble and get so down on myself, and that trick of the evil one is what keeps us stuck longer in that place of discouragement. Just get back up and follow God. Great advice. Thank you.

    I have come to realize that sexual immorality and sexual passions are our biggest barrier between achieving holiness and enlightenment. Once you overcome those powerful urges and passions by discipling the body and mind of oneself, then you have the strength and perseverance to overcome most other things. I am working on ridding myself of all sexual impurity, and it's a battle of the mind, but it is not easy, as I always tend to fail after a few weeks, but I keep trying, I keep trying because I want to overcome, because I feel like it's the right thing to do for my life and where I want to go. Your videos are always full of wisdom which always helps to strengthen me and helps to keep my eyes on Christ. Thank you, holy man of God.

22. Very close to depression. Thank you, you've helped me just by mentioning this trial. Many churches will not address this topic. Overlooking real trials of people is a cruel response. Thank you for addressing this challenge. I think you're very clear we must must have Chris's help to overcome this demonic affliction despondence.

23. I ask that you pray for Christ to forgive and cleanse me of my sins please. Thank you, Father.

24. Thank you father, i am dan from romania, and I learned from experience that despondency is the most powerfull weapon of the devil…you won't believe me maybe, but I was threatened by the devil…this beeing of darkness spoke to me…he told me "I GOT YOU " and guess how…through despondency…I didn't even now what that means but what hapenned next i can't tell you…everyone will ne frightenned…but I prayed to God and I overcome this hell…if God would have told me what I would have been through I would have refused Him

25. Thank you Father. Your calm manner and wise words are a comfort. Greetings from Deep East Texas.
