vjatitel'ju Christov' Ioanne, moli Boga ot mne greshnem'!

       Hierarch of Christ John, pray to God for me, a sinner!

      Timothy D. Herman, servant of God.

       Thank you for the pictures and reading dealing with blessed St. John the Wonderworker.

       May he intercede before Christ our Lord for all of us as we pray for him.

       Thank u Suzi Ajalat

       Tonight was the first time I heard of ST john, thanks to Suzi Ajalat from The Basil Leaf fall 1999 which refered me to this site.

       Thank u suzi.

       This site is such a beautiful labor of love! Our family has had a special devotion to Vladika John for over a decade now, and he has helped us in innumerable ways, great and small.

       Truly, God is wondrous in His saints!

       I, a sinner count the Vladika John as one of my spiritual fathers-always interceding for me and my family. Wondrous is God in His saints, the God of Israel!

       We are Orthodox Christians. Our nine year old son has progressive bone cancer in his legs and his lungs. We are at St Jude Children's Hospital in Memphis, TN. Fr Troy Mashburn of St John Orthodox Church brought us some Holy Oil from the vigil lamp of St John Maximovitch. Some parishioners brought us an icon of St John that has been blessed by his Holy Relics. We bless our son nightly with the oil and the icon is at his bed. You can visit our son's website at http://welcome.to/jimmypiper.

       We ask all to include our son, Jimmy, in their prayers to St John. Blessed St John Maximovitch intercede and pray for us!!!

       Wonderful sight. Introduced to St. John's life several years ago. Visited and venerated his relices when we lived in California.

       Oh those who knew him personally--what a treasure.
       Oh fortunte us who still call on his prayers.

       Very interesting. Being Roman Catholic, I understand the depth of feeling that your Priests and other observers had on opening the coffin of your Saint John.

       I, of course, have had these same feelings in some of our very Holy places.

       Having recently adopted Blessed John as my patron saint, I thank you very much for an extraordinary site.

       My name is Sam Manos. I meet St. John while reading a biography about him. As i was reading about the miracles he had done alive and reposed i asked him to pray for my entie family, not asking for anything special because i knew that St, John knew what all of us needed.

       My son Tony (12yrs old) had a cyst on his shoulder (size1/2 dollar) disappeared 2 days before surgery. Two weeks later I recieved a cyst on my foot. I felt that the syst was given to me to remind me of what the Holy Trinity had done for my son through St. John. About six to eight had months passed since i had received my cyst (size quarter). My doctor insisted that it be surgically removed but i refused. Soon after that i was taking a shower and realized that the cyst had disappeared. St. John, St. Saraphim of Sarov, and Blessed Father Saraphim Rose have introduced me to many more Saints who are the family of the Holy Trinity.

       I always ask the Saints that i have come to know through readings, Church Services and prayer to pray for me, my family and others. i never ask for anything because i feel the i really do not know what i need or what others need. only the holy family of God really knows. I guess the Holy decided that i did not need a cyst on my foot to remember them so it disapeared.

       God bless this web site, all who visit it all who maintain it, it's obstacles and it's free reign.

       Pray to God for me, St John for I am weak

       St. John is truly proof that Boniface VIII was a liar when he said,"We declare, we define that it is absolutely necessary for salvation to be subject to the Roman Pontiff.

       As a Byzantine Catholic I hold St. John in veneration. St. John Maximovitch pray for me a sinner!

       Thank you for a truly soul-edifying page. If you will permit me one humble comment, I am somewhat confused by the music in the background of your home page. Instrumental music is alien to Holy Orthodoxy and is very much out of step with the other truly God-inspired things one can read on your page. Somehow it doesn't go with the life and words of our Blessed Hierarch John. The music you currently play is beautiful, but just as any beautiful religious painting is not a holy icon, so too a beautiful instrumental piece is not an Orthodox way of glorifying our Lord Jesus Christ. There are so many Orthodox chants you might want to consider... Forgive me for trying to tell you something you already surely know

       I was lucky to reach St' John's relics to pray for giving our family a son - so he prayed the Lord to give. Our son - John (Ioann) is already 10 months.

      My best regards to Fr. Jacob - we miss you!

       Thank You for the SUPERB net pages! If someone has St.John Maximovitch's sermon: 'The Fall of Man'', please be kind and e-mail it to me: krahikai@pcu.helsinki.fi. I can find all other Father John's sermons except this one.

       Sincerely Yours

       Father John,

       rukoile puolestani, sillä olen menettämäisilläni toivoni . Voimani ovat lopussa. Auta minua syntistä!

       This is the first comment since our page has moved. We Still hear from all over the world of St. John's effect in peoples lives. I just received a call today from a woman who had been diagnosed with cancer who had a Healing Unction service at one of St. John Shrines and now has been diagnosed cancer free. Glory be to God.
