Blessed repose of Geronda Ephraim of Arizona 12/7/19. I was hoping you would hang on just a little bit longer, but it was not God's will. Geronda (Saint) Ephraim please intercede for us all!
Speech by Blessed Ephraim of Philotheus and Arizona to his spiritual children:
"Every day you are to be with the ticket in hand. We do not know what will happen to us. I once confessed someone at the hospital with wounds and soon died. He did something good in his life and was saved at the last minute. In my life I have been through a lot of hassle and I have seen that Divine Providence directs everything to the good of man. Let us not leave the memory of death. Read from the Elder, Saint Makarios's conversation with the skull. Once in a vision I saw myself dressed very nicely. Amphitheatrically, as at the holidays and I was high up on the podium and below were girls, they had confessed and shouted “Elder…. Elder. We want to come to you" but they were not allowed. This shows my responsibility and the grace of the priesthood, so pray for me. Be orderly and attentive. Fight every day as much as you can. Christ loves us in the order of the monks, because they are his soldiers. "
