Like a spiritual daystar in heaven's firmament,
thou didst encompass the
whole world and didst enlighten men's souls.
Hence, thy name is
glorified in the East and West.
For thou didst shine with the grace of
the Sun of Righteousness, O John, our beloved shepherd. Wherefore cease
not to entreat Christ, that He may have mercy on our souls.

Wonderful ways to fill the day! Thank you. I was blessed that my parents took me out to San Francisco in 1994 for the glorification!!! I will never forget it.
The glorification was like Pascha! So bright. I feel especially close to Bishop John!
