he tells me he was a practical man, that is, you went to
see him, you told him you know, I have problems with my husband, he didn't tell you theories,
he told you something practical to do, the old man's pastorate was full of
practical recipes, let me give you an example of mine, I tell him I have a
big one. He gets sad when such and
such a thought comes to me. I told him something very, very basic about myself
, which I tell him when it comes to me and I can't handle it. It makes me
angry. My anger is easy for me. and I'm sketchy and I
'm the same he tells me I answered him but this one I tell him doesn't
comfort me he says listen to me tell you what to do when
these calculations and these desires come to you I tell him don't tell me I tell him
what you told me above in kutloumusi lord jesus christ have mercy
on me he tells me why this is a little too much for you i tell him what do you think i should
do he tells me to say the name of the holy trinity
most holy theotokos think of us he tells me whenever i say this prayer i feel
such an energy of the holy trinity and of our Virgin Mary who immediately tells me the
temptation is gone let's do it and if she tells me it won't
catch come and hit me when a fool tells you like that all you have to
do is put the words and recipes into action and I'll be back in
athens the calculations calculations the desires desires
begin and I pray the name of the holy trinity most holy theotokos think of us and
I find that immediately the calculations are extinguished and the desires
calm down it is an example to see
how the asceticism of the old Paisios had a practical dimension for people maybe maybe I'm
wrong about that for him and he is so dear to modern people who
modern people have learned to live by recipes and are tired of
the many theories lately with this prayer the great
name of the holy trinity most holy theotokos think of us a very dear
person and very close to me, a great temptation came to him in
his family, a very great temptation and I had him and I am concerned about him,
his wife is wronging him and he is separated and I was concerned about him not to
fall into a malaise like this today or the disease and depression is the easiest thing
for each of us, I saw him happy, says the Lord, have mercy, Abba, and he is
in good health and he is so happy, I say to him, my saint, your problem
was growing up in your house, you live far away from your wife who your children
are apart and you have so much joy he
says to me you know I'm doing what you're doing in the
car he tells him yes where do I get in the car he says I listen to you sometime
sometime so suddenly you say the name of the holy trinity most holy theotokos
think of us and I do it too, he tells me and I feel great
joy, and he says too, who are the saints, the saints are the ones who
correct the latent diseases,
she is convalescing without major wounds, who did I learn these things, the man of God told me,
I did not teach them first times I say this publicly but this
man who is very close to me heard me and when the difficult time came for him and
he wanted something to keep him from being crushed by the languor of sadness
you kept
