St. Paisios the Athonite




"Father, what are you doing here?" someone asked Elder Paisios

"Watching that the ants do not fight!" he replied benevolently.
In a similar case when asked how he spends his night in the wilderness, he answered very intelligently but also very poetically:
"Yes, the candles (that is, the stars) that are high in the sky, I have a ministry to light every night!"
