A few months ago I found myself in a Holy Monastery and we gathered in the guesthouse to treat ourselves to the feast of the abbot of the Monastery. Among other things, information from the Internet about what was happening in the world, about the evil plans of masons, politicians, economists, the pope, etc..., etc..., etc... A darkness. Next to me sat an old monk who listened carefully without being disturbed, while one saw in the faces of those present a gloom, and whispered three times: "And where is God, and where is God..."
Our souls are darkened because we do not have our hope in God's providence.
Elder Makarios (Kelli Marouda, Mount Athos)
