“Geronda’s strategy and goal was to have a say the Jesus prayer constantly and keep vigil valiantly. He had implanted deep within us the meaning of prayer and watchfulness in vigil. He gave us advice and vigilantly observed how we were doing. From time to time he would ask me, “Koutsiko, how is your prayer doing? How is your vigil going?””
