I am glad to commemorate Saint Nicodemus from Vatopedi today. I once read about him and how he helped St. Gregory Palamas understand the Hesychast life practically, not just theoretically. I find it beautiful how a simple monk from Athos left such a deep mark.

Yes, Saint Nicodemus Vatopedi was indeed the one who helped Gregory Palamas apply practical philosophy in ascetic life. I always loved how a simple monk from Athos left a profound impact in this way. Today I prayed to him in the morning while baking bread.
