Metropolitan Paul of Sisanion and Siatista
Elder Iakovos was a man of God, literally a man who belonged to God, and also a man who had God.
Fr. Iakovos’ life was full of such cases, which for him were simple in the sense of trust and prayer to God, through which miracles happened. It would require many books to describe these interventions and miracles.

St. Herman can be an aid to the reawakening of spiritually dull America. If we want it, the beauty of all things St. Herman can help us begin to know what is happening in our own hearts and souls.
Archpriest Alexander Dyachenko
He was a kind man, his family loved him and wanted to pray for him both during his illness and after his death. He was dying in their arms; he had already stopped breathing and his face had turned pale. Suddenly, he breathed in again, opened his eyes, sat up and demanded: “Baptize me immediately!”
Hieromonk Roman (Kropotov)
No matter what sin we use as an example, the meaning is the same: Sin is only an external manifestation of internal causes rooted in the human heart.
