The Great Visitor (Elder Amphilochios Makris)


Many times Christ comes and knocks on your door and you have Him sit in the living room of your soul, and you, preoccupied with your chores, forget about the Great Visitor.

He waits for your appearance. He waits and when you are very late, He gets up and leaves.

Another time you are so preoccupied that you answer Him from the window. You don't even have time to open your door.

- A Saying of Elder Amphilochios Makris of Patmos

Ιγνατίου Λ. Τριάντη, Μητροπολίτου Βερατίου, Αυλώνος και Κανίνης, Ο Γέροντας της Πάτμου, Αμφιλόχιος Μακρής (1889-1970), βίος – υποθήκαι – μαρτυρίαι, σελ. 440-450, έκδοση Β΄ επαυξημένη, Ιεράς Μονής «Ευαγγελισμός» Μ.Η, Πάτμος 1997. Translation by John Sanidopoulos.

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.
