During World War II, young Peter (later Fr. Paisie) was conscripted. Assigned to the front lines, he prayed fervently to the Theotokos for guidance. One night, a superior ordered him to scout ahead, a near-certain death sentence. As he walked, an unseen force pushed him into a ravine, saving him from enemy fire that erupted moments later where he would have been. He attributed his miraculous survival to the Mother of God's intervention, strengthening his resolve to dedicate his life to God. May #Paisie intercede for peace and protection for all soldiers and those in harm's way.
