Spiritual experience at Konstamonitou Monastery
Agathon broke up my confession at his
grave, father Spyridon said
Tomorrow night in church.
There after confession we talked for a
long time.
These were Father Agathon's last
words he said.
I asked Father Spyridon to repeat,
I heard but cannot remember.
In his last days he was at
another level, Spyridon uttered
unintelligible sounds, I sat next to him
at the stasidi silent.
We got to get some sleep Father Spyridon said and
stood up to leave.
Patera Spyridon, you did not give me
your blessing.
The blessing, he said, rushed into the
sanctuary, and came out wearing the
petrahili
On your knees he said.
He covered me with his petrahili,
mumbled the blessing and I was not.
Holly communion later he said, later.
Escaping from Konstamonitou is not
possible.
