_Bio paragraph could not be extracted._

Troparion

Having become a stranger on earth,
you reached the heavenly homeland, O Venerable Father Paϊsios.
You taught the faithful to lift up their minds to God,
crying out to Him with all their hearts:
“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.”

Kontakion

Like a much-laboring bee, you were an elect zealot of the monastic life,
supplying our souls with the writings of the Fathers, through which you guide us on the path of salvation.
Therefore, we cry out to you: “Hail, truly wise Paϊsios,
for through you, the tradition of spiritual Elders has been restored to us!”
