For St. Paisios of Mount Athos:


(Apolytikion in the First Tone)
The offspring of Farasa, and the adornment of Athos,
and the imitator of the former righteous, equal in honor,
O Paisios let us honor O faithful, the vessel full of graces,
who hastens speedily to those who cry out:
glory to Him Who gave you strength,
glory to Him Who crowned you,
glory to Him Who grants through you healings for all.

(Kontakion in the Plagal of the Fourth Tone)
The most-famed ascetic of the Holy Mountain,
and the newly-enlightened light of the Church,
let us praise him with hymns with all our heart,
for he leads the faithful towards a perfect life,
filling them with rivers of gifts,
therefore we cry out:
Hail, O Father Paisios.

I had a nice lunch at an Indian restaurant in Derry (Destination India) with my daughter. Good food, good service, not crowded. We spent some time at the Mall of New Hampshire as well. Quite a nice time, actually.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:


“Sometimes I wait at the bottom of those dark stairs, I sit at the bottom of the stairs, I wait beyond the bottom of the stairs and listen to the sounds my wife and children make as they sleep, the sounds our animals make as they step carefully through our dreams and out the other side to polished floor and cold window. Sometimes I wait so long I become unsure if I am asleep, or awake, or dead.”
