He walked among us in Omonia, in the center of Athens, in the busiest part of the city. "Where God had brought me," at the Athens Polyclinic, amidst the pain of illness and death. Thirty-three years "like a single day"! Unnoticed by most. The professor of Medicine, K. Alivizatos, told him: "Father, we did not see you, we did not recognize you. Oh, oh, oh, for us to have you for so many years and not know you!" From the rugged desert of Kausokalyvia, God sent him into the world, to His "lost sheep," to us! In the brothels, "our own priest" brought the light of Christ. He even wanted to go live with the hippies in Matala, though of course, without sinning. "What we read in the Synaxaria, in the Lives of the Saints and are left amazed, we lived, they happened right next to us." His words were sweet, deeply theological, poetic, like a novel. A constant surprise. We rejoice in his words! His amazing gift, a unique case, the fruit of immense struggle. "The signs of his holy life are legacies for our entire generation!" Much light was sent to us in the darkness in which we live. "The light of his star has not yet reached us. We have not understood his words." His refreshing spiritual breeze has already begun to blow! Many people are waiting for Saint Porphyrios!
