In 1867 Fr. Panagis Basias is hosted in the house of Ioannou Geroulanou, in a room on the ground floor, which was always open, offering rest to every tired person of life. The Geroulanou family, with joy and love, accepts all these people, for the sake of Fr. Basia. On the other hand, they themselves are benefited by the priest and they desire to facilitate his saving work to other people!
Many incidents are saved from the Geroulanou residence of the Saint.
For example:
One day, a poor mother went to Geroulanous's house and asked for some food for her children. They gave her food, but they did not give her food that they had just cooked, because they were waiting for strangers.
After a while the priest comes, goes to the kitchen and throws in the prepared food a dirty cloth in front of the eyes of the servants and of course the food was no good, because they did not give the mother food for her children.
Fear and shame gripped them all. Then they apologized, and it never happened again.
It was impossible to hide from the foresight of Fr. Basia !!
