Alongside the television premiere of a series about Saint Paisios, the "life and times" of this holy man also came at the forefront. Sadly, several times and especially after his passing, his words, his prophecies and the miracles he did are thought as more critical than the life that he lived and that he himself thought to us through his words. We prefer to emphasise the results of his holiness (such as his prophecies and his miracles) than to take his holiness as an example for ourselves.
But it is useless to think of an enlightened figure like him as a simple "tool" for holiness and not as a "vehicle" of it. For miracles to exist, there must be a relationship of love between a saint and God and the people that surround him. A loving relationship like that describes Saint Paisios as well, who not only was an important figure for our Church but also for the every-day modern Greek, who can see in the recent life of Saint Paisios a true example of holiness and love.
