A Little Corner of Paradise - The Life and Teachings of Elder Paisius of Sihla

 

Saint Paisie (Olaru) of Sihla (1897–1990) was one of the most beloved spiritual fathers of Romania in recent times.

 

Throughout the Communist period, Saint Paisius was a refuge and shelter for those who desired to preserve their faith in those difficult times.

 

Included in the present volume are the life of the holy elder Paisius, many of his spiritual teachings, recollections from his spiritual children, interviews conducted with him, his letters and poems.

 

 

"Whoever loves God with his whole soul, with all his strength and all his heart, will be endowed with the gift of prayer of the heart and the gift of holy tears."

- Elder Paisius

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."
