«Я знал святителя Иоанна» — воспоминания Протоиерей Александра Крассовского

On the feast day of Saint John of Shanghai and San Francisco, Archpriest Alexander Krassovsky shares personal memories of the saint, whom he knew from childhood. Father Alexander recalls Bishop John as a strict but immensely loving pastor. He picked up children from the streets of Shanghai and took them to his orphanage, and visited and administered Holy Communion to the sick in hospitals daily. This heartwarming testimony of the saint, who never lay down in bed, but fell asleep on the floor prostrating himself, praying for his flock. 🕯️ Saint Father John, pray to God for us!
