Today we celebrate our Venerable Father among the Saints, Gerasimus of Cephalonia. Saint Gerasimus grew up a pious young man and travelled to Mount Argos to become a monk. He then visited the Holy Lands, where he became an attendant at the Holy Sepulchre. Here, he was ordained a deacon and priest by Patriarch Germanus of Jerusalem. For forty days, Saint Gerasimus struggled in the desert beyond the Jordan, just like his namesake Saint, and then requested a blessing to live a life of solitude on the island of Zakynthos. Having spent much time in prayer and fasting, Saint Gerasimus felt a calling to travel to the nearby island of Cephalonia where he lived in a cave. He built a women's monastery where he lived in asceticism for thirty years. Here, he achieved the heights of spirituality, being granted the gifts of wonderworking and healing. At the age of 71, the venerable one reposed in the Lord on August 15th. Because this is the feast of the Dormition, his celebration was moved to August 16th, but is more commonly celebrated on October 20th on the uncovering of his holy relics which were found incorrupt. May the Venerable Gerasimus intercede for us always + #saint #gerasimus #gerasimos #cephalonia #corfu #greece #zakynthos #zante #mountathos #ascetic #monk #deacon #priest #holysepulchre #holylands #jordan #jordanriver #palestine #orthodox #saintoftheday (at Kefalonia, Greece) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj5697DL6Q3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Our own university chaplain, Fr. Gerasimos @stgeorgerosebay bears this great ascetic's name, and so we wish him a blessed name day.

Ο Γεράσιμος Γεννατάς έρχεται πάλι στον Antenna

Σύμφωνα με δημοσίευμα του περιοδικού “MYtv", ο Γεράσιμος Γεννατάς επιστρέφει μέσα από τη νέα κωμωδία του ΑΝΤ1 “Παρουσιάστε”, σε σενάριο Μάκη Πιτταρά και σκηνοθεσία Γιάννη Μπέζου – Μιχάλη Βογιατζάκη. Ο ηθοποιός πρόκειται να υποδυθεί τον Σταμάτη Γεωργή, ο οποίος ανήκει σε μια ομάδα οικονομικού ελέγχου, που γίνεται για λογαριασμό του υπουργείου, με σκοπό να ανακαλύψουν τις οικονομικές ατασθαλίες που υπάρχουν στα στρατόπεδα ανά τη χώρα. Σε αυτό το πλαίσιο, λοιπόν, πηγαίνει στα στρατόπεδα του Γούλα και του Σκορδά. Η Shannen Doherty παραχώρησε μια εξομολόγηση από ψυχής στο περιοδικό Elle όπου εξομολογείται για τη μάχη της με τον καρκίνο που πλέον έκανε μετάσταση στη σπονδυλική στήλη. «Σκέφτηκα, “Εντάξει, έχω καλό κάρμα; Έχω κακό κάρμα; Γιατί να έχω κάρμα;”. Άρχισα να κάνω αποτίμηση της ζωής μου, όσων έχω κάνει και εκείνων που δεν έκανα. Πώς ήμουν με τους ανθρώπους. Στο τέλος, αυτό που βγήκε ήταν πως έχω καλό κάρμα. Μπορεί να μην φαίνεται, αλλά υπήρξα πραγματικά καλός άνθρωπος», εξομολογείται. Μάλιστα, αποκάλυψε πως έγραψε γράμμα αποχαιρετισμού στα αγαπημένα της πρόσωπα: «Υπάρχουν πράγματα που έχω ανάγκη να πω στη μαμά μου. Θέλω ο άντρας μου να ξέρει τι σήμαινε για μένα. Αλλά όποτε έρχεται η στιγμή να το κάνω, μοιάζει τόσο οριστικό. Αισθάνεσαι σαν να παραιτείσαι και εγώ δεν παραιτούμαι ακόμη. Νιώθω ότι είμαι ένα πολύ υγιές άτομο. Είναι δύσκολο να αποχαιρετάς όταν νιώθεις ότι θα ζήσεις για ακόμα 10 με 15 χρόνια».
