Lives of Saints Volume 21: Saint John of Shanghai & San Francisco (Paperback) - by Holy Dormition Sisterhood
This blessed hierarch lived in our own time (†1966) and was recently glorified by the Holy Church (1994). His life teaches us that evil times are in no way a hindrance to holiness and virtue, and that one can become a saint whatever the external circumstances. His incorrupt relics are found in the “Joy of All Who Sorrow” Cathedral in San Francisco, U.S.A.
♦ Saint Isaacius the Younger of Optina was exiled to Siberia and died a martyr’s death as a
confessor of the true Faith.
♦ Holy Martyrs Alexander & Antonina: the 28-year-old soldier who helped a virgin escape from a brothel.
♦ Saint Martinian the Monk was tempted by a woman, but overcame the demon of lust.
64 pages.
