3: A Five-Hour Prayer

Description
This week, I share a story from an Elder on Mt. Athos about a layman who undertook a podvig (spiritual struggle) in simple obedience, which resulted in a miraculous spiritual accomplishment. We also learn of the dangers of pride in such instances.
"Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God." Colossians 1:3.
"Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven." - Jesus Christ (Matthew 18:4)
Through this story, we learn that we can choose to carry our cross in the submission of our will to others by simple and guileless obedience even if/when it may appear that a mistake has been made.
