The saints are ready to help us! “Let the little children come to me, and do not forbid them, for such is the Kingdom of Heaven.” Mark 10:4 Sunday, June 15, 2014 Volume 2, Issue 24 Do you know a SAINT? Do you know a SAINT? Do you know a SAINT? Do you know a SAINT? Have you ever met a saint? Maybe. Sometimes we might think of saints as liv- ing many, many years ago. But saints are alive among us today. That’s because peo- ple who love God very, very much are around us today! Just a few months ago, our Orthodox Church declared a man a saint. His name was Elder Porphyrios. Now, we can call him St. Porphy- rios! St. Porphyrios was a monk and a priest  who lived in Greece. He died in 1991. He spent a lot of his life  working at a hospital chaplain in Athens, Greece. God gave St. Porphyrios many gifts. One was that he could know things without being told. Sometimes he  would know what people were thinking. Or he would come visit somebody without being called. He called this his “spiritual television.” Today is the Sunday of All Saints. Always remember that God calls each one of us to be sai nts. And we always have examples (like St. Porphyrios!) to help us.
