In June of 2024 your Fr. Sergius kindly, and to my great surprise, brought me to meet beloved Fr. Seraphim (that I might present a small gift). To my joy, which I didn’t fully realize until later, Schema-Archimandrite Panteleimon offered me a few simple words of guidance…one of which was, “Repent.” No person in my 30+ years as an Orthodox Christian has ever just said that.
I think my life has changed since, and I am ever grateful to him. “Memory Eternal!” Thank God. Thank you for this sermon. Wishing you strength & peace for the Great Fast…and the love of the Father.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Fr. Panteleimon was truly a gift of God, precisely because he has helped so many of us along the path to repentance. May we all be faithful to the inheritance he has given us.

Forgive me for too many words
🙏
Memory eternal indeed!
