 Let's go to something more personal. We hold memorial services for our deceased and I hear from hierarchs that the memorial service is more for the living. Pay attention now so that they can be consoled so that they can have a prayer for their loved ones who have left this world. When we started saying various experiences, pay attention to the word "experiences of Saint James," Saint Eumenides was also in a group with the saints officially. Or our elders, we used to say, "Old James, when he was commemorating the names of thousands, saw the souls next to him, and he saw others in the light, and he saw others in a state of darkness. Others he saw suffering, and others he saw joyfully when he appeared to him." Once, the Cypriot Blessed the Third saw him, he says, in a light, dressed in his priestly vestment, a sign that the Blessed was saved. In other words, Saint Eumenius told us similar experiences when he went to commemorate a Catholic who was an extremely philanthropist. The Catholic Raoul Flero, this great humanist, defended the rights of lepers at a time when lepers were considered outcasts of society. When he went to commemorate him, out of compassion, out of love, out of obligation, because Saint Eumenius had once been a leper, and this French humanist, his angel, supported them because they cleansed the eyes of both the body and the soul of the Saint. His angel, Eumenides, at the time he was commemorating him, As he took out the portion and put it in the tray, the angel took it out of the tray, the old man Eumenios critically took the portion and put it back, the angel took the portion again and took it out, and the saint Eumenios turns around offended and says to him, "Why are you taking the portion out?" He tells him, "Father Eumenios helped you. Keep him in your prayers on the rosary, holy step." He tells him, "In the divine liturgy, those who are members of the church of the human body are commemorated." Then I spoke about my father who fell asleep when I was 8 years old, about my brother Peter when I was 12 years old, a suffering child, an orphan, and I said, "What did you do to him?" my pain to saint jacob

to saint eumenios saint paisios and

i told me let's pray for petro

let's pray for your father nicholas your father is in a good place

petro had a few problems and now

slowly he is ascending to the light and the saints

tell you this not grandma or katigko

do you understand that there is an eternal

life full of

light and others are high in the light others

are in a middle state and others

are down but while they themselves cannot

repent in hell and in

repentance

we can

help them with our services

our alms our prayers

to ascend

from darkness to light but the orthodox believer is

a prerequisite for this

ascent we say

this is what the archpriests tell me

he believes well in these naiveties

pay attention

now since Saint John the Damascene also says

a man with a high position in the

church

told me

that they take lightly

and come, that is, a

relief

and our prayers

what is this

that

you

describe

what will we do, the

Puru of the Latins tells me

so I understand that among

Orthodox bishops

there is confusion, why didn't I come into

contact with

saints, understand why we should hear

above and from everyone and from

the

synodal assemblies what the saints say, and indeed see

where the saints agree where there is agreement of fathers
