A monk, who lived on a remote peninsula in the Eastern Mediterranean, was sought by many orthodox Christians for his wisdom.
Elder Paisios (1924-1994), lived a life of prayer and devotion on Mount Athos, a center for Eastern Orthodox spirituality.
For this Christmas monologue, John has chosen to contrast some end times quotes of Elder Paisios with additional quotes from Patrick Wood's latest book, The Final Betrayal: How Technocracy Destroyed America.
