Prayer of the Optina Elders

Grant unto me, O Lord, that with peace of mind I may face all that this new day is to bring.

 

Grant unto me to dedicate myself completely to Thy Holy Will.

 

For every hour of this day, instruct and support me in all things.

 

Whatsoever tidings I may receive during the day, do Thou teach me to accept tranquilly, in the firm conviction that all eventualities fulfill Thy Holy Will.

 

Govern Thou my thoughts and feelings in all I do and say.

 

When things unforeseen occur , let me not forget that all cometh down from Thee.

 

Teach me to behave sincerely and rationally toward every member of my family, that I may bring confusion and sorrow to none.

 

Bestow upon me, my Lord, strength to endure the fatigue of the day, and to bear my part in all its passing events.

 

Guide Thou my will and teach me to pray, to believe, to hope, to suffer, to forgive, and to love.

 

Amen

The Monastery of Holy Trinity in Aegina founded by Saint Nektarios: the house where Saint Nektarios lived and his Tomb (photos)

The history of the monastery is lost in the Byzantium era, where there was a monastery dedicated to Zoodochos Pigi at that point. Osia Athanasia had lived as an ascetic in this monastery, but over the years it was abandoned. In 1904, Saint Nektarios decided to restore the monastery and house the Holy Trinity Monastery there. The works for the restoration of the Monastery lasted from 1904 to 1907. A year later, in 1908, Saint Nektarios left the management of the Rizarei School and retired to the Monastery.
