Abba Moses was one of the great desert fathers of Egypt. He lived a wretched life before becoming a monk, even leading a band of thieves. But in time, he repented and spent the rest of his life in an ascetic struggle to purify himself. He was guided by Abba Macarius the Great and Abba Isidore. The title of this video comes from the one thief who hung on the cross next to Christ, "Lord, remember me when you come into your Kingdom."
Saint Moses the Black (330–405), (also known as Abba Moses the Robber, and the Strong) was an ascetic monk and priest in Egypt in the fourth century AD and a notable Desert Father. The name Ethiopian comes from two Greek words Etho(αἴθω) which means to burn and Ops(ὄψ) which means face. This was the name ancient Greek speakers called Subsaharan Africans: Burnt Faces.

    I stumble and fall daily. I do a quick morning prayer and then ignore Jesus the rest of the day. Throughout the day, however, my soul longs for Christ. These videos nourish my soul no earthly possession can ever fulfill. I love you Jesus! I love Your saints too! Thank you for these videos!
  • If Abba Moses can repent and be saved, perhaps there is hope for me yet... Holy Father Moses, pray to God for us! ☦

    I'm talking to an orthodox priest. The more I find I out about orthodoxy; the more I fall in love with it. Pray for my conversion.

    I'm Catholic, but I find joy and peace with these videos
  • I am an Antiochian Eastern Orthodox Christian monk. My cell teaches me everything. I no longer seek to leave it. When I do, my stillness and watchfulness evaporate.
  • @Agenda-2016
    Oh my God. Tears in my eyes. As an Ethiopian Orthodox Christian, this story resonates and the background soundtrack is a nostalgic Ethiopian flute song. አባ ሙሴ ፀሊም በረከትህ ይደርብን 😢God Bless you.
  • Ethiopia has a lot of history a Human brain can't understand unless the Holy Spirit is added and is a country of blessings, Saints, Monks and Priests. Peace and love to all of you my brothers, sisters, fathers and mothers. May the blessing of our father አባ ሙሴ ዘ-ኢትፕዮጲያ(Abba moses) be with all of us.
  • @cyberp0et
    The lives of saints offers us encouragement for our own struggles.
  • @corettaha7855
    Feeling unworthy and unloved and unlovable in isolation. So this great man’s story truly hit home. Providence of the Lord is a blessed mercy. Edit: pray for us, abba Moses.

    I too was a criminal in my past, and have been made a new man in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! I hope one day to become holy as did the great St.Moses the black. St.Moses please pray for me, that I too can overcome my sinful thoughts and actions.
