Welcome
Reading the lives of the saints and ancient patricians, many people question themselves, why such miracles don't happen now To this question wonderfully responded St. Grigory Dvoeslov: "Miracles was only needed to spread the faith ... However, we have these signs and wonders only in a spiritual sense, because the Holy Church never ceases to do in a spiritual way the same things, as the apostles did visibly."
However, if you carefully look around, you can see that the Lord has not ceased to show his miracles visibly now. The construction of The abode of St. John, which the resource is dedicated to, is also a miracle. This miracle is not some kind of supernatural events, but primarily in the fact that here in the fullness of true words of St. Philaret the Confessor (transition to life), "The Lord does not despise small. By the power of His divine omnipotence He could create (in the desert) as much bread as it was needed to feed the people, and He gives more. That's how it always happens, so if you can bring something small, you will never be embarrassed - Our Lord is able to do a lot from the few, you have just to strive to bring what you want, from a pure heart, with the humble and reverent soul, the Lord Himself will rule the way you need. "
The abode of St. John is the result of a huge number of small and big deeds, brought "by the whole world" on the altar of love for God and closers. Exactly in such a way were always made to the most impossible deeds of Holy Russ, and this indicates the fact that the spirit of the God-bearing people was not destroyed through 70 years of rebellion. And that gives us hope in the fulfillment of the prophetic words of the great theologian of our of Archbishop. Averkiy (Taushev) (transition to a biography): "Neither politics nor economics and no life means and ideas will not save our motherland, if not the most important thing. For almost a thousand years, our Orthodox people have lived with faith and the Church: Only faith and the Church can save it. We must return, and not only in words but also in deeds, to the ideals that our Holy Russia had lived centuries before the terrible disaster befell her. To help us there will be all the saints who beamed in the land of the Russian".
We hope that the touch to this modern miracle will motivate you even to small, but salutary works of mercy and compassion.
