By Elder Joseph of Vatopaidi
When I was a young monk, I was impressed by clairvoyance, foresight and the prophetic gift. Wherever I heard that there was an elder with such gifts I ran with enthusiasm to meet him.
Now that I'm old, I'm not impressed by these gifts.
For me it is more valuable to meet a man who has patience without complaining during long-term and painful sicknesses. This moves me and teaches me.
