Nice to see Metropolitan Ieronymos and the abbots from Pyrgetos and the Komnenos monastery there together yesterday.

Yes, thirty years passed like yesterday. I also remember the blessed Theologian from a visit to Athens in 1995, he spoke quietly but his words stuck. I am glad to see Mr. Hieronymos and the two abbots from Pyrgetos and Komneniou, it shows that the Metropolis still keeps his memory alive.
