So explained Elder Paisios, when he was asked how the martyrs endured the torture that they received. Saints said the the same thing. And even if you are not tortured, you still are greatly pressured and tempted by many.<br />And the more torture you receive, the more reward you get in heaven. Hence, the Great Martyr Euphemia said that if she had known what glory the Saints have, then she would have done whatever she could to go through even greater torments (she told this to Elder Paisios after he had asked her in amazement, how did she go through with her torments).Anonymous personhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14868532819165909936noreply@blogger.com
