Thank you for your description of the uncovering of the relics of St John The Wonderworker, of Shanghai
and San Francisco.
He was considered a saint in his own lifetime - truly a holy man of God.
Still today, St. John appears in the hospitals among those who are ill, and has helped many to become well once again. The holy oil that can be obtained at his tomb has cured many faithful.
The incorruptibility of a saint's relics is a sign of God's special favor and grace. It is also a testimony of the eternal blessedness that awaits the elect of God.
Let us all humbly ask St. John to pray for us poor sinners.
