Lantern of Grace: Seven Homilies in Memory of Our Father Among the Saints, John, Archbishop of Shanghai and San Francisco
Protopresbyter Valery Lukianov Translated from the Russian by Isaac Lambertsen and Daniel Olson
“As the years pass, memory of events fades, the sharpness of the soul’s experience grows dull. What will future generations know of the glorious deeds of their forebears if we, who are living witnesses, do not leave a chronicle of the praiseworthy events that have taken place? Responding to this urgent call, the compiler of this chronicle of the glorification of Archbishop John, which is now being offered to the attention of the pious reader, cherishes the hope that these records will be a part of that legacy which we must preserve for Orthodox generations yet to come. May God grant that these accounts of the hierarch of Christ’s wondrous life and his help for us may continue to be recorded both by those who honor the saint and by the faithful who have been graced by the mercy of God through his holy supplications.” —“From the Author”
