Saint John of Kronstadt (Ivan Ilyich Sergiev)
Translated by Sergio Tancredo Sette Câmara e Silva

“St John of Kronstadt (1829–1908) is the most renowned saint of the Orthodox Church in Russia in the half century leading up to the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. He was born Ivan Ilyich Sergiev, in the small town of Sura near the White Sea coast of northern Russia. He received a vision during childhood and was called to service in the Church as a priest. In addition, he was miraculously healed of early learning disabilities. His life and preaching went on to touch millions, not only in Kronstadt, the Imperial Naval port by St Petersburg where his parish was found, but throughout the Russian Empire and even into the Western world. [...]To twenty-first-century Christians, St John is probably best known through his spiritual journals, My Life in Christ, published by this monastery in English translation. We are now pleased to offer this selection of his Lenten sermons in English translation for the first time, which we hope will equally touch the lives of many.”
