Saint John of Damascus:

The Pearl of Great Price - The Lives of Saints Barlaam and Ioasaph

 

Inspired by the Holy Spirit, Saint John of Damascus (+749) composed with faultless harmony many liturgical hymns embodying the deepest theological insights of the Fathers of the Church.

 

... But nowhere is this gift of expressing theology more accessible to the reader than in his Lives of Saints Barlaam and Ioasaph.

 

... Barlaam, the solitary elder, and Ioasaph, the son of a pagan king. Weaving Orthodox theology into an enrapturing narrative, Saint John's brilliant work is an excellent Orthodox cathecism.

Yli 500-sivuinen englanniksi käännetty teos sisältää Gerontissa Makrinan puheita sisaristolle.

 

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."
