St. Paisios and the Wine Bottle
"Once, in the Kalyvi of the Holy Cross, instead of some wine that I expected as a medicine for the problem I had in the intestines, they brought me from the Monastery, by mistake, a bottle of vinegar.
I didn't say anything, because I thought that, that's how God wanted it.
About forty days passed and with the rain water I was drinking my condition worsened. I suffered a lot, I was burning for water, but I was afraid to drink, because the day before I got a little weak, I had a problem all night.
At one point, I entered the Church to light the candles and saw a bottle of wine placed in front of the iconostasis, under the Icon of the Virgin Mary! The bottle was mine and I recognized it ; but where did it come from? No one had come in those days, and I had entered the Temple many times and there was nothing in front of the iconostasis!
The wine was stiff. Medicine for my condition, just as it benefits me!
In fact, on the same day, they also brought me a big bottle of wine, from the Monastery!.
