Summary: The life of a holy man of our days (1902-1975), a married priest who lived in a small village of Greece. A simple and weak man of low education chosen by God to enlighten others. The book contains mostly autobiographical notes taken from letters.
Allow us to introduce to you a hero, a champion, a contemporary married Saint who reposed in the Lord in 1975-Father Dimitrios Gagastathis-a towering, prophetic figure; a man of great faith; a man of prayer, whose feet were touching the earth, but whose head reached the heavens. Father Dimitrios, or "Papa-Dimitri" as he was known, lived amidst the problems and cares of everyday life as a married priest (with nine daughters), yet "lived like an angel rather than an earthly man." This book contains mostly autobiographical notes taken from Papa-Dimitri's correspondence. In these notes he recorded many wondrous and extraordinary experiences which testify to his "living faith" in the true God. He communicated with the Archangels and the Saints as if they were visibly present. After experiencing their intercessions he would often proclaim, "Our Faith is alive!" Papa-Dimitri had very little formal education. In his humility, he stated that he could not even deliver a proper sermon, but having received the gifts of simplicity, purity of heart, meekness, and love for God, his very life became a living sermon.
