Fr Petroniu Tanase – Everything we see leaves marks on our souls / Tot ceea ce vedem lasa urme in sufletul nostru
Wisdom from Mount Athos (WMA) Series – S01E03
The former abbot of the Skete of the Forerunner [Mount Athos], Fr. Petroniu Tanase, talks about the marks and impressions that harm people living in the cities…
He uses the teaching of St. Maximus the Confessor and also shows how a priest should respond to all kind of questions (regarding the news and political events) brought to him by the faithful…
Must there be a benefit? I would have some questions for him. Would he be the priest who passed by the man laying on the side of the road? The one the Samaritan helped?
This is true. It is very difficult to "unsee" and to "unhear" things. Especially disturbing when they return during times of prayer to distract.
Doamne ajută!🙏
Absolutely God help us city Christians!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly!
I think I have 14 years of pornography in my subconscious .. and fornication with girls many years, and filthy talks many years, and so much more sin .. I stopped swearing for a year now , since I discovered Orthodox Spirituality, but this passion , lust , is a beast, especially the thoughts … and ego also .. people say we should not go to extremes, but I don't think I can overcome these many years of soul destroying self abusing sins by the middle way. If I eat , I just increase lust , if I pray , thoughts of fornication attack me even in my dreams, so I understand why the Holy Fathers ate just a little bit and slept just a little bit …. constantly praying crying to purify their heart and intellect .. amazing people.. I just cannot do this . I will try the middle way but I fall always. I'm not even Orthodox Christian yet .. I cannot find Church. So I gave up struggling .. but I keep trying to force myself not to give up completely
