Many thank to Fr. Paisius Altschul for his slide shows that I will be posting on this blog. Fr. Paisius serves at a very well known urban parish in Kansas City (St. Mary of Egypt http://www.stmaryofegypt.net/ ) and he is a part of the Serbian Archdiocese. We were very blessed to have him as a part of our short term mission team to Albania this summer. Maybe if we are lucky enough we will be able to learn more about his outreach ministries in Kansas City on this blog?
At any rate, the title explains itself! We went on a pilgrimage with His Eminence Metropolitan John of Korca. We visited His Eminence in Korca which is a city not that is far from Greece and Macedonia The Metropolitan is a fascinating man. He's a very sober pious and godly man, and we were very fortunate to have had an opportunity like this. We spent a few nights in Korca, another in Voskopoja, and we (even the mules and horses) hiked through the mountains trying to keep up with the metropolitan both physically and spiritually.
His Eminence has been walking the countryside since the time of his youth as a spiritual exercise. I have to say that I envy him having done similar things in my younger days but to fight. I'm glad those days are behind me. Thank God that we have witnesses such as the metropolitan and the countless lives that he has touched to attest to the glory of God that does far more than we can ever ask or image.(Eph 3:20)
