"Spiritual pygmies…" Brillaint!
How do we avoid scrupuslosity? I am always feeling damned. Yes, for good reason. I have been a disgrace, all of my life. Filled with pride..along with everything that the Lord hates.
I have been humbled several times in my life, and I have made confessions. Only to fall away with a sense of hopelessness. I would throw pathetic pitty parties for myself. Depression becomes my condition. Making false gods out of anything. Different addictions. Living sinfully.
I then become fearful, and beg the Lord for mercy again. Scrupuslosity sets in and I repeat the pattern.
I am here again. Begging God for mercy. I have resisted by addictions and weaknesses. I have been to confession and trying to make restitution to people I have harmed and today I feel the scrupuslosity taking over.
I know fully what I deserve. Is there hope for a blob like me? I have been told by a Calvinist that there isn't. Those words haunt me.
I am hoping you can pray for me, cause I have read where all things are possible with God. Hoping for yet another chance if there ever was one.
Thank you
It's true that people today think of themselves as advanced. One should check out CS Lewis, "The funeral of a great myth", and discover why this delusion of progress is so prevalent in modern society.
Every book, movie, game, etc is based on this great fantasy of the emergence of man.
Always so wise!
Christ is the bread of Life..
So true! Amen. Thank-you Father.

Thankyou very much
Earth is flat and immovable. Space is fake. and we are dumber than we ever were. All history is fake
As a person that had a life filled with woman, alcohol gambling i find these small sermons amazing. I heard carismatic, baptists and so on, but these realy tuch my heart. i have started the journey of repemtence anld belife in Christ and this youtube chanel realy help me. I will seek a church, ortodox it seem will be whats best for me.
I too am a Roman Catholic and the simplicity and clarity of this reminds me of Saint Theresa of Avila saying "Perfection is not in feeling good but in doing the will of God" a very similar teaching to that of Saint Seraphim of Sarov in his teaching about the parable of the virgins and their lamps that we must acquire the Holy Spirit through prayer and live that reality in our actions. I live on the island dedicated to Father Spyridon's saint, Corfu, and it is one place in the world where there is some peace between Catholics and Orthodox – and I love his talks so: thanks Father Spyridon, keep up the good work you are having a peaceful affect.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner.
Thank you for your words Father.
How would you be able to make an accurate statement about something you are not allowed to study in its depth thus not having a a complete understanding? Claiming that Christianity is the only true religion is purely based on speculation since you don't know much about the other religions because it would be sinful to look.
Yoga I feel was a bad example you should have used psychedelics instead.
Absolutely. When Satan cannot break us down with his constant accusations then he switches his tactic to empty flattery.
quit thinking it is so far off this salvation… salvation is at hand, and you're well upon your way to the sainthood!
ty for this teaching, this is focused, learned, studied, stronger needed stern, direct, frontal… focus more that the miraculous can be obtained… our metaphysical kurist is Lord.
I dont get the 'Yoga leads to Hell' argument.
I like this. While being trained on how to show more pride and self confidence we can only become more like show horses for those telling us what to do. We should be careful what we wish for other than being saved.
In a sense “judge only yourself, continually”.
To such talks and themes the self-righteous respond with ignoration.
Im you Fr to be help me the most these day but I'm Catholic is this bad that I'm listening to you
Thank you Father, this has been a major conversation in my family, gaining humility, humbleness..that Christ like love for our enemies that is so difficult to put into practice..instead of lashing out against the person who is hurting us. I was called a “Baby Christian “ from someone who is more learned in scripture than I, but from reading the lives of the Saints, I get the feeling it was more about living for Christ and his commandments then just being able to repeat what he said. So again Father, thank you for this confirmation. God bless you🙏🏾
Beautiful teaching. Live a simple Christian life. 😍
Subscribed.
Finally, a voice and message of the Cross. Good to hear some robust teaching.👍🏻
God bless you for putting these videos into the electronic ether for those of us who are spiritually hungry. ✝️💖
This is a perfect description and refutation of the so-called "New Age" garbage.
you've head the nail on the head sir! I'm glad my salvation is not predicated on feelings but rather on FAITH!
Doing Yoga you cause you to start seeing demons and Ive even seen high level mystics, who can see into peoples bodies say do not be doing meditation and kundalini can cause brain damage. Yoga can open you up to parasite evil spirits that will steal your life force energy, make you sick and drain you and can cause psychosis. I even see many Hindus, and Jews who are begging for help from these new age practices to be set free by Jesus. Sorry for using words like life force that may confuse Christians.
A spiritual delusion is when you call yourself a Father when the Bible tells to call no man a father.
I have been in Yogic Hell. Dharma in any form is the only true path.
