The ecumenical Saint Paisios the Saint was honored yesterday in every corner of the earth, where there is an Orthodox presence. However, he was solemnly honored where there is a church dedicated to the new-found Saint, the radio operator of God who with his love, humility and example still saves the souls of people who take refuge in him.  In the center of Europe, in Austria, the Saint is especially honored in the Monastery dedicated to him.  On the 6th Sunday of St. Matthew, July 12, 2026, His Eminence Metropolitan Arsenios of Austria presided over the High Priestly Divine Liturgy at the Holy Monastery of Agia Skepi and Agios Paisios the Holy of Holies in Sankt Andrä am Zicksee, which celebrated the feast of its patron Saint.

Hieromonks Iakovos Yiannopoulos and Andreas Bola collaborated, as well as the Archdeacon of the Holy Metropolis, George Meleshko. After the Divine Liturgy, the pilgrims were invited to the monastery table, which was presented by the Fathers of the Monastery.

I noticed they mentioned the Gospel about the paralytic — our priest preached on that last Sunday too and it really stuck with me. Sounds like a beautiful crowd turned out at the monastery in Sankt Andrä. Wish I could have been there for the trapeza afterward.

I am glad to see that Father Paisius is revered so well in Austria. Just last week in our Sunday school we were talking about the healing of the paralytic, and Vladyka Arseny correctly connected this with the help of a saint - when a person cannot get there on his own, but the Lord raises him up through the saints. It’s a pity that it’s far away, otherwise I would also go to such a service and to the meal after.

I am glad that Saint Paisius was received so well in Austria in his monastery in Sankt Andrä. Here in Sofia, we also read about the healing of a paralytic last Sunday, and I really thought about how often we wait to get well on our own, instead of calling the saints for help. Thanks for the news.
