In his youth, longing for monastic life, Paisios faced numerous obstacles, including his mother's disapproval. He embarked on a pilgrimage to monasteries but was turned away due to his youth. Undeterred, he lived in the world, adhering to a strict ascetic discipline while awaiting God's call. Eventually, he received the monastic tonsure and became a spiritual guide, revitalizing monasticism through the Philokalia's teachings. Pray that #Paisios Velicikovski intercedes for us, that we may find the strength to overcome obstacles and pursue a life dedicated to #God. May his example inspire us to live a life of prayer and #virtue.
