The Brotherhood of St. Paisios –
The first goal is purity of heart, growth into real manhood, the acquisition of virtue, the strengthening of manly character.
The Brotherhood exists so that we can learn how to become men. Our Lord needs men to be men. Real men will be able to withstand the assaults of the enemy and reveal Truth to the world.
Focus on this men. Don’t be drawn into the illusion that the battle is about polemics. Polemics has a place, sometimes an important place, but the first goal is purity of heart, growth into real manhood, the acquisition of virtue, the strengthening of manly character. That’s what the Brotherhood is about and that is what we are going to do.

Outstanding! Thanks for the link. I happen to be reading the biography of St. Paisios at this very time, the classic one written (and since translated/updated) by his closest brother and confidante. The story of his journey has been inspiring thus far. I almost don’t want it to end. I will certainly look into this brotherhood.
Men, especially young men, really need this support and reminders!
