You can go to San Francisco and visit his incorrupt relics ☦️ Saint John, Wonderworker of Shanghai and San Francisco Born in 1896 in Russia, Saint John Maximovitch was baptized under the patronage of Archangel Michael. A deeply pious child, he influenced his Catholic teacher to become Orthodox. At 11 he went to military school. He was arrested by the Bolsheviks twice before his family fled to Belgrade where he entered seminary. He was tonsured a monk, then ordained deacon, then priest, and taught at a school where he was greatly loved by his students. He led a life of simplicity and asceticism and never slept lying down. Elected bishop and sent to Shanghai, he helped build churches and hospitals and started an orphanage that grew to 3,500 children. When the communists took over China, he helped thousands escape. He served in France for a decade before being sent to San Francisco, where he came under grievous persecution. He reposed in Seattle in 1966. Countless miracles are attributed to Saint John and his body was found to be incorrupt when he was glorified in 1994. image

GM. ☦️ Woe to those who are rich, who are full, who laugh, and who are praised. But good shall come to those who endure every wrongful accusation, beating, robbery, or compulsory difficulty. This is com­pletely opposite to what people usu­ally think and feel! The thoughts of God are as far from human thoughts as heaven is from the earth. How else could it be? We are in exile; and it is not remarkable for those in exile to be offended and in­sulted. We are under a penance; the penance consists of deprivations and labors. We are sick; and most useful for the sick are bitter medi­cines. The Savior Himself all of His life did not have a place to lay His head, and He finished his life on the cross — why should his followers have a better lot? The Spirit of Christ is the spirit of preparedness to suffer and bear good-naturedly all that is sorrowful. ☦️St. Theophan the Recluse
