Saint John Chrysostom: 

Homilies on the Epistle of the Apostle Paul to Philemon

 

The next morning, the blessed patriarch John Chrysostom himself remembered the man and asked Proclus, "Did the man whom I asked you to admit to my room come here?"

 

"Yes, Father," Proclus replied. "He came here three nights in succession, but you were conversing in private with another man. Therefore I did not dare to announce him."

 

"With whom was  I conversing?" asked John. "No one was with me the past few nights." 

 

... Then Proclus happened to glance at the icon of the Holy Apostle Paul on the wall of Saint John's cell, and cried, "Behold, this is the man I saw speaking with you! It was the saint depicted on this icon!"

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."

Professor Emeritus, University of Athens
