Indeed, true is the word of our Gospel, which assures us that love will never cease to exist! What greater proof can our soul ask for in order to verify the truth, when in the midst of such a great economic crisis, people from Greece, simple, anonymous, and poor join hands together and achieve the incredible? When they manage to load a container of 25 tons, with a bunch of goods and send it to our poor and much-afflicted brothers in Malawi to share them?

The island of Lesvos has long been a home for refugees, be it Greeks themselves fleeing the Turks on the mainland towards the end of the Ottoman Empire, or those fleeing from the more recent Afghanistan and Iraqi wars, but the situation in the last few years and months has grown increasingly demanding and serious. Now the island, the third largest in Greece, sees thousands of refugees arrive every day, fleeing from Muslim violence and wars in the Middle East and Africa.

By the grace of God and with the blessing of His Beatitude Patriarch Theodore of Alexandria, on January 13 I arrived at the capital of Ghana, the seat of my new diocese, after a long journey starting from Athens to reach the Western African shores of the Atlantic.
