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."
