  • I do not comment very often to Youtube videos, however I felt a pull to do so today. As a practicing Sikh, I wanted to show love to my orthodox Christian brothers at Trisagion Films. Each of these, beautiful souls documented in the 'Chronicles of the Desert' is truly inspiring. From the imagery to the narration, it is so meticulously crafted so the viewer may experience a yearning for the Lord. We are living in a material world that is turning its back on God, it is so refreshing to see the effort of Trisagion Films, which is trying to connect them back to God. Thank you kindly, may you continue your selfless service in a steadfast manner!

    Never replace this voice over guy
  • Woe unto me an animal is more pious and humble than I. Glory to God for this video and thank you so much
  • I find it so beautiful the way that saints relate to nature and animals. ❤ It's so sad that the importance of being kind to animals and taking care of the earth that God gave us is so often overlooked. We may be uniquely created in His image and likeness, but we are all His creation. Thank you for another beautiful video! 🙏☦
  • I listened to this with my 8 year old. You are helping people to love God and the Saints. My son (Isaac, patron Saint Isaac the Syrian) was mesmerized throughout the entire video. Thank you so much for the work you do. Glory to God for and in all things! ☦️☦️☦️❤️❤️❤️
  • As usual, Trisagion has knocked it out of the park. Every time I get a notification from this channel I get excited, because #1 I'm going to learn something new, #2 I'm going to be fed spiritual food, and #3 I'm going to enjoy it Every time, without fail. Great job Team Trisagion! So much appreciation for the work y'all do!
  • @aadenalegria
    I realized now after watching this I must love all things true even demons and of all of creation. I been sinning for too much and I must love our Lord so that I do not want to sin or have seen in my life. Thank you for this realization in my heart. May the Lord bless you with love, peace and good health.☦️

    Just letting you know that my daughter loved this video. We are exploring Orthodoxy and these videos are so helpful.
  • I saw once a picture of them and found it inspiring. Knowing the story I see the beauty in the bond of humen and animals. It reminds me of my sister, having a strong bond with her cat. Something about it, that feels more like love than any human is capable of.
  • I adore the Desert Chronicles and have deep gratitude for their teachings. Thank you for bringing this wisdom to us.
  • Thank you so much. This deeply moved me to tears...Christ be praised!

  • @GuitarJesse7
    My family is new to Orthodoxy and this story especially spoke to my kids who love creation and animals.
  • Perfect picture of how union with GOD restores mans relationship with every creature. All creation longs for this. Good work. I have a question How do animals have wisdom if they have no reasoning ability.
