ST. PAISIOS

By Friar Paul

Saint Paisios was born in July 25, 1924 in the humble village of Farasa in Cappadocia, Asia Minor (modern day Turkey). He was baptized at 3 weeks old by the village priest, St Arsenios the Cappadocian, who foretold his life as a monk. A week following Saint Paisios' baptism the Turks drove out all of the Greeks from Asia Minor, sending them on a 400-mile exodus to Greece, where his family settled in Epiros. St Arsenios the Cappadocian Early in his life, St Paisios gravitated towards the spiritual life, spending hours daily in prayer. During World War II he served in the military as a radio operator. In 1950 he went to Mount Athos, where he remained for most of the rest of his life, growing in spiritual stature through prayer, fasting, and many ascetical practices. In 1979 he moved to his final home, Panagouda Hermitage. Here he received tens of thousands of pilgrims, granting them, by God's grace, healing, advice, wisdom, and solace. He reposed in the Lord on July 12, 1994 and was canonized a Saint in 2015. "Those who resemble the fly seek to find evil in every circumstance and are preoccupied with it; they see no good anywhere. But those who resemble the honeybee only see the good in everything they see. " ST PAISIOS WORDS. As I was searching for ideas for my July spiritual exercise for St Paisios, I discovered that there is very little material out there for kids. This book is very helpful to adults and our kids for the sole purpose of teaching, uplifting, inspiring and changing lives for Christ and what we believe in. Have a happy time reading about Him.
