The Divine Flame: Elder Porphyrios

Lit in My Heart

by Monk Agapios

“I left with a spiritual joy, that I had never experienced before. I was flying. My heart leapt and I constantly repeated what I heard from the Elder: “Lord Jesus Christ . . .”. I had heard from other Spiritual Fathers before that we must say the prayer. But my lips could not be prompted to say it. I felt like it was a commandment that I had been imposed upon from without and I had not managed to implement it. Now, without realizing it, my heart had been fired up by a divine flame and with love and gratitude I proclaimed within myself toward God whatever my eyes had seen and heart had heard near this Elder monk.”
