Elder Porphyrios' Meeting With Elder Paisios


Elder Porphyrios said the following about his meeting with Elder Paisios:

"One day on Mount Athos I was traveling by tractor. Paisios was there. The two of us would say the Prayer mystically. Our souls were united. At one point he got off but we continued. Well, you should have seen then! Even though he was leaving he rushed towards me and hugged me noetically. You should have seen the unity of souls. You are able to love others spiritually, to hug them, to feel them, even from a distance."

Support the Mystagogy Resource Center

For more than fifteen years, the Mystagogy Resource Center has been a labor of love dedicated to making the riches of the Orthodox Christian tradition freely available to people throughout the world.

Thousands of articles, translations, lives of saints, theological reflections, historical resources, and daily materials have been published across this ministry’s websites, all offered free of charge for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Orthodox faith.

This is a one-man ministry that requires countless hours of research, translation, writing, editing, and maintenance each day.

If this work has spiritually benefited, educated, encouraged, or inspired you in any way, I humbly ask you to consider supporting this ministry financially.

Generous annual and monthly benefactors make possible the continuation and expansion of this work for the future, for without such support this ministry cannot exist.

Every contribution, whether large or small, truly makes a difference and is deeply appreciated. May God bless you abundantly for your generosity and prayers.
