Venerable Paisios Velicikovski, a beacon of #OrthodoxChristian monasticism, revived hesychastic prayer in the 18th century. Facing spiritual aridity in his native lands, he sought refuge on Mount Athos, later leading a large brotherhood at Neamț Monastery. His translation and compilation of the Philokalia made the wisdom of the Church Fathers accessible to countless souls, guiding them towards inner stillness and communion with #GodIsGood.

O Venerable Paisios, intercede for us, that we may find the path to unceasing prayer and divine illumination. #saints #Prayer #OrthodoxWay
