I have run to the fragrance of your myrrh, O Christ God, for I have been wounded by your love; do not part from me, O heavenly Bridegroom. Elder Porphyrios, a Greek monk and priest who passed away in 1991, embodies the rich tradition of charismatic spiritual guides in the Eastern Church, tracing back to the apostolic age and including modern figures like Saint Seraphim of Sarov and Staretz Silouan. In this work, he shares his life story and articulates the Christian faith with simplicity, depth, and wisdom. His vibrant personality shines through his words, captivating readers with transparency and charm. Bishop Irenaeus of Chania notes that Elder Porphyrios's words reflect the insights of a holy Father, characterized by humility, simplicity, and ardor. His life was a testament to Christ, offering support to countless individuals facing illness, mourning, pain, loss of faith, and death. He is celebrated as a god-bearing Father of our time, a devoted priest and teacher who fell in love with Christ and served humanity faithfully. Compiled posthumously from an archive of notes and recordings, this book was first published in Greek in 2003.
