Can married people become holy? Witness the life of Papa-Dimitri Gagastathis († 1975), a family man and father of nine daughters from Thessaly, Greece. Read his autobiographical accounts, in which he relates numerous miracles he experienced. Read about his days during the Greek Civil War, when he steadfastly proclaimed the Faith in the face of pressures from the godless communists. Read his counsels for illumination on daily concerns. Read his pure prayers, and remarkable testimonies by well-known Orthodox Elders.
