A Glimpse Into Life at Saint John of San Francisco Orthodox Monastery

Saint John of San Francisco Orthodox Monastery, Cobleskill, NY.

Mortal men, let us leave this world of deceit!
Christ calls. Let us go.
For life is good Sailing above the troubled sea of care.
- Saint Theodore the Studite

I hope I am blessed to visit someday. Incredible manifestation of our beautiful faith inherited through the ages. Giving thanks for your existence in our world full of treachery

Evlogeite. By the prayers of Saint John may I be strengthened to continue in the face of trials due to my sins. Saint John brought me to this video at a moment of deep inner turmoil. May Christ our God have mercy on me and save me. May I learn to love the Holy Trinity and my neighbor. Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me.

Lord, have mercy!
Lord, have mercy!
Lord, have mercy!
Give us, Saint John Maximovich, the wholehearted disposition of your overnight praise, so that we may praise and praise and glorify your honorable and majestic name, now and in every moment. Amen.
Δόξα στὸν Πατέρα, στὸν Υἱὸ καὶ στὸ⁇ γιο Πνεῦμα. Καὶ τώρα καὶ πάντοτε καὶ στοὺς ἀπέραντους αἰῶνες. Amen.

Thank you so much for this video. Although I'm totally blind and have been all my life, this Holy Faith has opened the spiritual eyes of my soul. I've been Orthodox since April 5, 1987, and although I know I'm unworthy of the Grace of God, I know He still somehow allows me to be renewed each and every year, as I prepare for His Holy Resurrection. Glory to God.
I really love that you include so many languages when you celebrate these Divine Services, and thank God and you for this. If we are to be a beacon of Christ to this nation and to this world, we need to preach and serve anyone and everyone who comes to this glorious Life. People want to make Orthodoxy a religion, but that's when we get into trouble. It's the Way of Life, because Christ is the Way, Truth and the Life. No matter what culture or nationality we belong to, you adapt to each and serve, and this is highly saught today.

May you all have a Blessed rest of Great Lent and a glorious Holy Week, Pascha and Resurrection!
God Bless.

Your videos have definitely sparked a curiosity in me as to who the GOC are. Thank you for sharing

Is the chanting from the monks? I like that they use Greek, Slavonic, and English.
