When I saw him praying in church, then I thought: if there is some person who holds the helm of the whole world, it isn’t the president of America, it isn’t a communist, it isn’t any person of this world—it’s Elder Paisios. He is able to steer the rudder of the whole world.

These people have no priest, no church. They rent a classroom in a school where they gather every Sunday in order to chant and read the New Testament. They have zeal of God and a fervent desire to be baptized and have a priest, a sacred church, a school.

What is unintelligible today might be intelligible and explainable tomorrow.
