Saint Nektarios is the Saint of our century, the twentieth century. The Saint who is honored by all Orthodox Christians and many others as well. The Saint of miracles and the hope of every suffering soul. The Saint of God who served the Church and loved his fellow man with selflessness and devotion.
In this book, Sotos Chondropoulos vividly brings to life the sanctified figure of this angelic warrior of faith and virtue. The saint who was tested in the furnace of the world's malice and wickedness, like "Gold in the crucible," and never wavered, never refused to "take up his cross." He never complained about the slanders and injustices against him. His soul was a bright sky without a cloud of pettiness. An imitator of the Lord and the martyrs of faith, he forgave the spiritual inadequacies and weaknesses of people and prayed for their return and salvation.
The figure of the suffering Saint of Aegina, Saint Nektarios, who marked his era and left deep imprints in our century of exemplary humility, patience, eloquent silence, but also hope, may accompany you, dear Reader, not only in the pages of this book but also throughout your journey to inspire and guide you.
