By Metropolitan Athanasios of Limassol
When I first met Elder Paisios, within me - although I was a young child 18-18.5 years old - I said that indeed, what Christ said is true!
Since this man exists and since this man lives and I saw him with my own eyes and I experienced life with him afterwards - I lived with him for 16 whole years - then everything that the Gospel says is true!
That is why God called Himself:
"The God of your Fathers".
God said when He revealed Himself in the Old Testament:
"I am the God of Abraham, of Isaac, of Jacob, the God of your fathers."
So God is the God of our Fathers, the God of the Saints, Who through the Holy Life of His beloved children proved the truth of His words.
