I’m being Chrismated this Saturday, Lazarus Saturday, into the Holy Orthodox Church. Please pray for me. 🙏🏻
This channel has been amazing during my catechism.
I was chrismated dec 16, 2023
Welcome to the one true church my brother! Christ is risen.
@@sirdimi9246 Indeed, He is risen
How cool.
I've just got into the greek orthodox church about a month ago...
I am very happy for you.
I will pray for you
☦💝📿💝☦
Father Cuneo has such an imaginal way with words that just grips me. I keep coming back. Hugely inspiring.
Thank you for using my question. I appreciate your answer Fr. Andrew, you were very helpful. God Bless 🙏
Christ is king.
I really needed this , I've moved an don't live near a church currently and it's hard as a new convert to not have that regular life and guidance.
Please pray for me
May God bless those involved with this channel, and may they have a blessed Holy Week and a joyful Pascha!!
Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on us sinners.O gracious Mother of the gracious God, O most pure and blessed Mary, the Mother of God: Pour the mercy of thy Son and our God upon my impassionate soul, and with thine intercessions set me unto good works, that I may pass the rest of my life without blemish and, with thine aid, attain heaven.
Fr Andrew is a neat soul!!!
This father is a spitting image of Rick Grimes
Instead of killing zombies, he’s casting out demons lol
That's who he reminds me of! Thank you!
Wow I'm so grateful you asked Fr Andrew to answer my question regarding phronema and appreciate all the work you put into this channel. It's very edifying.
Another great video, God bless ☦️
I remember when this channel popped up on my feed a couple of months ago. It was brand new and only had a few hundred subscribers.
You guys are doing great work and tbe explosion in growth proves you both know exactly what you're doing and that your efforts and intentions are rightly guided and blessed.
This is a great resource for everyone within and without the Orthodox world, and it's easily accessible.
Thanks for making all this high quality content for us and for doing it so quickly.
Glory to God! Thank you for supporting 🙏☦️
I love the videos on this channel!! May all those involved with this channel have a Blessed Holy Week and joyful Pascha!!
I loved his answers
Excellent podcast !
Wonderful and understandable orthodox teaching .
Glory to God .
Please keep these coming !
Amazing interview! 🙏🏻
You should put breaks in the video so we can go directly to one question we’re interested in. Good video though, keep up the good work!
Glacial! I love it!
Next week is the Holy Week. It's very sacramental in any case and quite overwhelming especially if you find a little church in the countryside with no much congregation far from a city and under the light of the candles. After the Great Lent (actually 7*7-1=48) on Sunday it is great to taste the lamb - it depends on the customs of course - and it is worth making this corporal effort less or more. Happy Easter to all Christians.
I often skip the worship part of protestant church, but my pastor is an excellent teacher of the Bible. I've never understood Catholicism bc I wasn't getting fed with the Word. It could have simply been the specific parish i visited. Maybe others are different.
I'm interested in Orthodoxy for the more conservative ideals, but have no idea what a service would be like. I plan to check out a few once moved to Oklahoma City.
Nice
I was a convert to Orthodoxy for twenty years and I left the church because of a disagreement. I would like return to Orthodoxy. How do I go about in doing it? Thank you, Father!!
Im not orthodox i woulnt know. Anyways id like to ask... what happened since then?
I was similar. I looked up churches in my local area and went to one and talked to the priest afterwards. He and the parish welcomed me greatly. I pray you have the same welcoming experience as me returning to Orthodoxy.
@@ianholder7867 who asked lol...
jk im just jealous
Does someone know which book(s) in particular he is talking about when mentioning "the lives of contemporary saints"?
How do I know for sure which Leadership of the body of Christ is aligned absolutely with Christ, his words and the teachings of the Apostles.
How do I know when religious leaders are aligning themselves with things in opposition to Christ and his teachings?
In these perilous times, there are many that have arisen to pervert the gospel of Christ...how can I know the leaders of The Greek Orthodox Church have the foundation built on the rock who is Christ?
All answers please welcome.
I noticed he is wearing a rosary looking cross.
My question, is a regular rosary acceptable to wear for orthodox?
The curiosity steams from owning a very simple basic rosary, and would like to know if it is idol worship or acceptable.
Please end my ignorance.
This Priest is not wearing a rosary.
Orthodox do not pray the rosary.
If you are talking about the necklace then that’s a pectoral cross that you will often see priests or monks wearing. If you are talking abt the blue one in his hand then that’s a prayer rope. The Orthodox Church typically forbids the practice of the rosary as it uses the imagination which is forbidden. You can probably find some good answers online but you should talk to a priest in person. The best advice is to get to church and ask the priest or those around you in coffee hour. I’m only an inquirer so take my opinion with a grain of salt and if anyone knows better than me, please correct me. God bless you
@@cjschweisthal3830Just a small correction brother. Monks do not wear pectoral crosses. This is exclusively for Priests. If a monk is wearing a pectoral cross, he is a Priestmonk.
@@NoeticInsight ok thanks for the correction. I am still learning. The more I learn abt orthodoxy the more I learn that I know less lol. pray for me and my family to be lead to truth
@@cjschweisthal3830welcome to the Church where we all live as learners! ☦💝📿💝☦
Im not orthodox but probably soon to be, I have a question how do i fast the right way on Wednesday&Fridays? Andhow long til the Sun goes down and it gers dark outside?
The fast is much more than consumption of food. We usually don't eat meat and dairy those days, but the rest of the food is allowed. But in its essence the fast is about separating yourself from the things that you're attached too. For example, I'm myself addicted to sweets and coffee, and don't really care about meat. So for me fast would be about not consuming sweets and coffee, because I can't live without them. But you should be very careful of not deceiving yourself by thinking that you don't care about eating meat and then eating it, when you're actually addicted to eat.
But, if you are fasting with your whole family, and the other member can't live without meat, then you should not seduce him/her by eating it, and you should also avoid eating meat.
So I would follow the fast rules, plus add to it something that I can't live without as well.
Also, you should not be overeating.
Also, it's about avoiding spending time on social media etc. But rather praying more, reading the Bible, doing something good for others. Denying yourself and serving others. Charity. Trying to be a proper Christian with God's help. Like my priest usually says, "It's more important what comes out of your mouth, than what goes in." Meaning, that how you behave with others than what you eat. But fasting in food also helps you not to serve your body.
So, these are the guidelines, but you should take it slow, because it's really hard to follow everything without Christ's divine help. You should rely on Him and do as much as you can, and every time you'll grow more into it.
God bless you!
Best would be to find, either online or in your parish, Church calendar that contains info about the type of the fasting for each calendar day. Observe fasting days from midnight to midnight... no need to observe evening beginning.. Cheers.!
Your parish priest will be the one to determine when and how much you should fast to start with.
Unlike Muslim fasting, it is usually not total abstention from sunrise to sunset, but rather avoidance of *certain* foods for a whole calendar day (or series thereof, for the longer fasts).
This isn’t even an ask any old priest question, it’s an ask *your* priest question, and if you don’t have one, finding one is probably higher priority than fasting.
reach out to your most local OC church or cathedral and start catechesis. This should be covered or you can ask questions. Fasting is much more than just diet and most
spiritual Fathers and Members recommend to take things slowly - especially if you do not have a High Church experience in your previous experience.

This is something to discuss with a parish priest. Otherwise, we have writings called the Typikon which go into detail of the *ideal* fasting schedule.
But every individual is different. A priest can guide you based on your spiritual and physical fitness.
Jumping into a monastic lenten fast (we're currently in lent, btw), would be like running a marathon without even having tried on a pair of running shoes before.
Typically, the ideal is that we're completely vegan on Wednesday and Friday unless there is a feast on those days.
No animal products at all, no alcohol, and no oil. Most people don't actually completely abstain from food altogether. But those of us who do choose to wholly abstain will do so until after sunset, when we enjoy a small vegan meal. Kitchari is a good option.
Traditionally, we eat bread, some salt, and water.
But there is as much diversity in fasting practices as there are people, which is why a spiritual father is necessary.
It's also important to note that fasting isn't as much about food as it is prayer, self reflection and control, and many other things.
We are attempting to rightly reorient ourselves. The body typically has full control over everything we do.
Fasting is an opportunity to put the soul at the helm, just above the mind. And to subject the body to the control of the soul.
@@medotaku9360 i wanna fast all food, can u help me? When the sun rises on Wednesday & Friday i stop eqting and when the sun goes down i can eat? Or do i eat when it’s completely Dark outside? And do you have the link for the typikon
