Description
As a youth, Paisius was called to commit his life to monasticism. Under the tutelage of Saint Pambo in one of the sketes of Egypt, Paisios strengthened greatly in spirit and attained a deep peace in his soul and love for God and man.
Saint Paisius then left his former skete and traveled into the remote Nitrian. As a hermit living in complete solitude, he fasted and prayed for long periods, all the while living in a cave he had excavated with his own hands.
At this time Paisios was also shown a vision of the desert around him inhabited by many ascetics. In the years following, this prophecy came to pass as monks began to gather around this spiritual hero. A monastery was then established in which the most important rule was that each monk would seek the will of his elders first, all deferring to each other in humility.
Saint Paisius reposed in the 5th century in old age. His feast is celebrated June 19.
