Best news i heard all day. after a long day of picking up an entire flooring, and tossing it out, since water got under it and soaked it up, SO much for those laminate floors they call “floating”
I believe everything you said, since i also had some experience after praying to St. John’
The first time i learned about him, was the story of the Pigeon.
Never met him but ever since i became familiar with him can say i love this man. I never felt so close to a saintly person before in my life as i do with him, like he is my own brother.
I know he lives!

My husband reposed on the feast day of St.John. That was a great consolation to me! I believe that St. John took him under his care to heaven and I pray he keeps him close always.
I met a woman in Australia who had been blessed by St John as a baby in Harbin( I think) In the RCOR church in Newcastle there were quite a few Russians who had fled Russia and eventually landed up in Australia where families were welcomed.
As an adult this woman was flying in America and had a short layover in San Francisco . she wanted to go and venerate at St John’s tomb, but was told she did not have time. But she decided to try anyway, and as she told it, the way just opened up for her. The taxi driver she chose knew exactly how to get to the church quickly and he took her there without delay and waited for her while she went into the church and then sped her back to the airport in good time for her flight. She had no doubt that St John made that all possible. Holy St John,pray for us!

Thank you for showing us that when the sand of doubt is placed in the oyster of faith, it can become a pearl of hope.
I LOVE that image, Doctor Thomas!!

Xenia, my prayers are with you during this difficult time of loss. May your husband’s memory be eternal.
