Hidden up above the quiet bays of Mount Athos, the St. George Kellion of Kolitsou was home to some of the most remarkable Athonite elders of the 20th century. This book gathers their lives, struggles, and spiritual counsel—above all the witness of the recently glorified Elder and Saint Dionysius Ignat (†2004; in Romania, he is known as "Dionisie Ignat de la Colciu"), but also his fellow strugglers such as Hieroschemamonk George (Gamaliel) Boboc, Elder John Shova, and other fathers who lived and prayed in this small corner of the Holy Mountain. Through eyewitness accounts, pilgrims’ journals, and rare testimonies, Rivers of Living Water opens a window into the Athonite life at Kolitsou: to their nights of stillness and prayer, to their bonds of spiritual brotherhood in Christ, to the hardships of poverty and exile they endured, and to the spiritual wisdom distilled within them through decades of ascetic struggle. This is not simply a biography of one man but a living memory of a spiritual family, bound together in Christ and dedicated to the Mother of God, the Protectress of the Holy Mountain. Readers will find here not only the history of a Kellion and its fathers, but also guidance, encouragement, and a glimpse of the grace that sustained them. This is a book for pilgrims, for seekers, and for all who desire to taste the freshness of the Gospel flowing through the monastic heart of Mount Athos.
Authored by the Hieromonk Nicodemus Jones of The All-Merciful Saviour Monastery.

Advent Retreat with Abbot Tryphon "I Will Walk Among You"
For many, “Christmas” has turned into a consumeristic frenzy, but for Christians it should maintain its profound and reverential meaning: it is the Advent of eternal life through the Incarnation of God the Word in the flesh (prophesied in the Hebrew Scriptures). This is why for Orthodox Christians the Advent period is a time of fasting, prayer and preparation for the Incarnation of Christ! In this Advent retreat with Father Tryphon, we will learn about the coming of Christ; its purpose; the glorious Incarnation of the Word of God; what He accomplished by taking a body like our own, and surrendering His body to death in place of all; and how we can “enter into” communion with Him and participate in His resurrection!

From the Holy Cross Monastery website:

Schema-Archimandrite Panteleimon (Voepel) Reposes in the Lord

With great sadness but also with joyful faith in the Resurrection of our Lord, we announce the repose of our beloved father in Christ, Schema-Archimandrite Panteleimon (Voepel). He fell asleep in the Lord early this morning, April 24th, just after 3 a.m. He died peacefully at home, in the kellia where he has welcomed monks, clergy, and pilgrims for many years, surrounded by his devoted spiritual children. As he was nearing the end, his cell attendant read the Canon for the Departure of the Soul, and at the conclusion of the final prayer, Fr. Panteleimon quietly gave his soul back into God's hands.

The monastery clergy immediately prepared his body for burial. Once it was placed in a coffin, the monastic brotherhood processed from his kellia to our current chapel, where the first Pannykhida was served according to the special Bright Week rubrics. At the conclusion of the Pannykhida, the body was transferred to the nave of the new church, where it will remain until the funeral. The funeral will take place on Bright Saturday, April 26th. A more detailed schedule of events will be forthcoming shortly.

Please pray for the repose of the ever-memorable servant of God, Schema-Archimandrite Panteleimon. May his memory be eternal!

Christ Is Risen!

Having delivered the homily yesterday from my walker instead of a chair, in order to smooth the strain on servers helping me in and out of a chair in the middle of a service, I was wondering if you prefer me to use the chair or walker in future homilies?

Please Pray for Father Paul!

Please keep our Hieromonk Paul in your prayers. He took a bad fall yesterday, off some steps outside our trapeza, landing head first, straight into the grill of his truck. In addition to some gashes to the forehead and chin, he has cracked some vertebrae and the disks were jostled around, causing him significant nerve pain in his hands. He also had some damage to his thyroid cartilage (Adam's apple). There are keeping a close eye on this to make sure it doesn't impede his breathing. So far that's been stable and seems to be improving a little.

I just got off the phone with the surgeon there at his hospital, and we discussed whether or not to have immediate surgery to help his neck issues or to postpone it. Since he's already got a doctor at another hospital where he was going to have other spinal issues evaluated (ongoing lower back), we decided to hold off on that, and look at the possibility of neck surgery at a later date.

So please pray for healing and pain management for Fr. Paul and for wisdom for the doctors and us to determine what to do in the near future. We are hoping as soon as his throat issues are not a threat, to have him come home.

Thank you for your prayers and to all who have offered help and support in response to this recent event.

Fr. Martin
