Aslanidis Demetrios & monk Damascene Grigoriatis:

Apostle to Zaire

- The Life and Legacy of Blessed Father Cosmas of Grigoriou

 

 

In every generation there are those few exceptional souls who rise out of the conventionality of social life to become path-finders to the catholicity and otherworldliness of Christianity.

 

Heroic and uncompromising, they imitate Abraham and become exiles and martyrs for Christ, following Him with loving exactness and mountain-moving faith.

 

They “hate their life in this world” in order to keep it - and that of their neighbor’s - for eternity; and to successive generations they become models to imitate, witnessing, long after their departure, to the honour the Father bestows on those who serve Him.

 

Such a one was Blessed Father Cosmas of Grigoriou, enlightener of Zaire. Such a one was Blessed Father Cosmas of Grigoriou, enlightener of Zaire.

Saint Joseph the Hesychast (+1959) revealed to the future sisterhood of Panagia Odigitria in Portaria of Volos that he saw a vision concerning the future Gerontissa Makrina of Volos:

“While I was praying, I saw Maria (Gerontissa's name in the world) in a vision. She was in the middle, and around her were many little sheep. I realized that this was God’s way of informing me that she should be your abbess. So be obedient to her, and none of you should object to what she says.” The sisterhood that would become the nuns answered like from a single mouth: “May it be blessed” making their spiritual Father very pleased.

"Her simple speech speaks to the hearts of all,

for it comes from her authentic, holy experiences...

A person of praxis and theoria, Gerondissa was rich in virtues,

and she was and still is a guide of others toward Christ

and a model of authentic spiritual person,

when virtuous examples to follow are becoming

increasingly difficult to find."
