Father Paisios gives his fight, as a monk now, in the Philotheu Monastery, on Mount Athos. His mother also fights her own "battle", as she tries to reconcile her deep faith in God and her love for her son. In father Paisios, the desire to go to the most desolate part of Mount Athos, to Katounakia, and to become an ascetic is growing. A vision of the Virgin, however, leads him back to Konitsa, to Stomio Monastery, to renovate the monastery burned by the Germans. Thus, in July 1958, he returns to Konitsa and without passing through his house he goes directly to the monastery.
