Elder Amphilochios (Makris) was for many years the rector of the monastery of St. John the Theologian on Patmos, and founded several monasteries, orphanages and charitable institutions on the Greek islands. The wise old man often spoke in parables. “Christ often comes and knocks on your door, and you invite him to sit in the hallway of your soul,” he said about faith. “Then you become immersed in your own affairs, during which you forget about the Great Guest. He waits for you to show up, and when you take too long to return, He gets up and leaves. Other times you are so busy that you answer Him from the window. You don't even have time to open the door.
