Lysis

Only holiness reminds the enemies of God, both the demons and deluded men who seek the ruin of souls, that the Lord our God, the Lord is one, and that whatever attempts they might make, they will never be able to cast out Christ from the life of the world, Because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world, the devil.

They understood that the passions, sin, and the spirit of this world ceased to have any authority over man from the moment when the God-man, Deanthropos Christ, abolished the power of death with his holy resurrection.

They freely chose to live with God.

There are also two noteworthy laymen of God.

There is the grandfather, Hazi Florenzo from Milia, from Augusto, who lived from 1901 to 1969, who miraculously prophesied the invasion of Cyprus, as well as its liberation, which will come, as well as much of what we now see taking place in Turkey with the Kurds.

There's also the humble old man, Panais of Lysis, who lived from 1905 to 1989.

A holy man who, together with his brothers, Basil and Trifon, organized services, gatherings, and catechism classes day and night.
