At the same period as Pope John XXIII, in Constantinople there was a man of the same prophetic vein, the Orthodox Patriarch Athenagoras. During a visit to him, what raised our hopes was the awareness that that 86-year-old man—with so few means at his disposal and enmeshed in a complex political situation—could have an enormous impact both close at hand and far away. He had the greatness of the truly generous. He had not been spared trials. In spite of everything, he remained hopeful. “When I enter my bedroom in the evening,” he told us, “I leave my worries at the door and I say: We’ll see tomorrow!”
