''See also disambiguation of the name [[Arsenios]]''[[Image:StArseniosOfParos.jpg|right|thumb|Venerable Arsenios of Paros (1800-1877)]] [[Venerable]] '''Arsenios of Paros''' (1800-1877) was a remarkable [[confessor]], spiritual guide, educator, [[ascetic]], [[wonder-worker|miracle-worker]] and healer. [[Feast day]]s: [[January 31]] and [[August 18]](uncovering of his relics). He is a saint local to the [[Metropolis of ParonaxosParonaxia]] under the jurisdiction of the [[Church of Greece]].<ref>This very wise, wondrous, and most virtuous Father is called by some St. '''Arsenius the New'', in order to distinguish him from St. [[Arsenius the Great]], who lived in the fourth and fifth centuries. He is better known as St. '''Arsenios of Paros''', because, although born in Ioannina, Epiros, on January 31, 1800, he dwelt in the island of Paros—one of the Cyclades—during the second half of his life, from 1840 to 1877.</ref> St Arsenius of Paros was glorified by the [[Patriarchate of Constantinople]] in 1967.
==Quotes==
:"Practice self-observation. And if you want to benefit yourself and your fellow men, look at your own faults and not those of others. The Lord tells us: "Judge not, that ye be not judged," condemn not that ye be not condemned. And the Apostle Paul says: "Who art thou that judgest another man's servant?"
:"If you want Christ to bless you and what you have, when you meet some poor individual, who is hungry and asks you for food, give him. Also, when you know that some poor man, or a widow, or an orphan are hungry, do not wait for them to ask you for food, but give them. Give with pleasure, and be not afraid that your you will become indigentindignant. Have faith that Christ invisibly blesses your few possessions, and you shall never starve, nor will you be in want till the end of your life."
