On June 19, the Synod of the Metropolis of Moldavia and Bukovina proposed four nuns for canonization: Schemanun Maura of Mount Ceahlău, Schemanun Nazaria, Schemanun Olimpiada and Schemanun Elisabeta (Safta) Brâncoveanu.
Hieromonk Makary of Simonopetra
His sermons were simple, sincere, and deeply moving. They touched the heart with their depth of faith, truthfulness, and understanding of life. St. Alexiy’s prayer never ceased.
Igumen Tikhon (Borisov)
The saints have lit the “candles” of their hearts forever so that the universe, plunged into the darkness of the abandonment of God, could warm itself—if only a little—from their light!
Marina Kankava
We offer readers the memories of the elder’s spiritual daughter Marina Kankava who has shared her experience of personal communication with this saint of our time.
Fr. Stephen Freeman
It is said that saints are often raised through the popular devotions of the people with canonization being the “crown” of that process rather than its beginning. This is precisely the case with St. Olga.
