Faith and More PodcastS05 E03: St. Paisios of Mt. Athos - Unconditional Love and HumilityLong-time listeners know I have talked about this episode since Season 2. Yes, it has taken that long to finally present it the way, I feel, it should be presented. St. Paisios was one of the kindest, most selfless, beings. He fell asleep in 1993. So, for old timer's like me, he lived in our time! His life was selfless and beyond humble; helping as many people as he could. Have a listen and get to know just a little about this great Saint!
