Almost our contemporary, Elder Paisius Holy Mountain - entered the history of the Church as an outstanding preacher and the master word, and how a man capable of business, their lives set an example of true holiness. And the roots of this holiness was in its simplicity, to fully trust in God, who richly endowed him with wisdom, talents and virtues.
"I am a monk Paisius, examined his life saw that I have transgressed all the commandments of the Lord, I have committed all the sins. And it does not matter if some of these sins I have committed to a lesser extent, because I have no extenuating circumstances, because The Lord gave me great benefits.
Pray that Christ has pardoned me. Forgive me, and let me be forgiven all those who believe that something upset me ... I am very grateful and again I ask, pray. "
