I was 14-15 years old then… I was passing outside the prisons that were on my way… I was looking at the prisoners inside, I was sad about them. There was a chapel there of Saint Eleftherios and the people were throwing inside [stuff] for the prisoners… I did the same for the prisoners and I was saying “Saint Eleftherios, please set me free so I can leave the world and go become a Monk in Mount Athos.” I was doing this for a long time…
