Today the Orthodox Church commemorate St Gerasimos of Cephalonia. I had the blessing of visiting Cephalonia in 2004. The reliquary was opened so I could venerate the saint and a supplicatory service was read by the priest, in which my name was included. I will never forget the holiness that permeated the nave of the church where his relics are kept. It reminded me of Prophet Moses when he was told by the Lord, "remove your sandals from your feet because the place where you stand is holy".
The saint has the Grace to free people from demonic possession, and the afflicted are brought to his monastery from many different countries. In this video you see and hear a poor woman who is suffering. But the demons are no match for the saint.
Holy St Gerasimos, pray to God for us!
