By Monk Simon
Elder Eumenios once told me that the Third World War would have taken place, in the area of Russia, namely Ukraine, and he also said this later when we went on a pilgrimage to Russia.
"We were all at the forefront," he told us.
"What do you mean 'we'?"
"All of us, Father Porphyrios was there, Father Iakovos was there, Father Paisios was there, all of us monks went to the forefront."
He was talking about another "forefront", a spiritual one.
"And I was weeping, weeping..." he continued to tell us. "Father Porphyrios saw me and told me:
"We were all at the forefront," he told us.
"What do you mean 'we'?"
"All of us, Father Porphyrios was there, Father Iakovos was there, Father Paisios was there, all of us monks went to the forefront."
He was talking about another "forefront", a spiritual one.
"And I was weeping, weeping..." he continued to tell us. "Father Porphyrios saw me and told me:
'Do not weep like that, Father Eumenios, nothing will happen. The Panagia will be merciful.'"
We understand by this, that Father Eumenios was in the company of holy people. They knew each other. [They were all among the living at this time in different parts of Greece, but kept company through prayer and by the grace of the Holy Spirit.]
