St. John of Rila and St. John of Kronstadt


St. John of Rila 
has long been a special saint to me
as he is beloved of my Ottawa parish.
Both are really not that long to read! 
*

St. John of Kronstadt was named for St. John of Rila.
Here is a small autobiography he wrote.
St. John also wrote a much beloved book,
which I read part of at my dear sister-friend's house
some years ago and that Mr. Husband has...
that is on my 'to be read' pile.
*
Both are wonderful intercessors for us!
Blessed St. John(s)'s Day!

Thank you for sharing about St. John of Rila. ♥ I know about St. John of Kronstadt and have a copy of My Life in Christ (I think it belongs to my parents). I plan to read it soon.
