The life of a saint given to God and others

His whole life was spent in Cyprus. Outwardly, he did not stand out in any way among other residents of the small town of Trimifunt: he lived like everyone else, tending sheep, which was how he earned his family’s daily bread. However, one must assume that from his youth Spiridon was special, distinguished by his kindness and compassion towards people.

They increased even more after the death of his wife, when the future saint devoted himself entirely to works of mercy. When, under Emperor Constantine the Great (1st half of the 4th century), who stopped the persecution of Christians, an episcopal see was formed in Trimifunt, the residents unanimously asked Spiridon to become their shepherd.

A new life began for him, already completely given to the Lord and helping his neighbors. Due to the purity of the saint’s faith, Christ honored him with many grace-filled gifts. Lives of St. Spiridon is essentially a story about his continuous miracles for the sake of his neighbors even during his earthly life.

Cases of assistance in healing mental and physical illnesses

Among them there are also many cases of healing of diseases:

once - this was after the death of Constantine the Great - the saint had to travel to the sick emperor Constantius; he, no longer trusting the doctors, whose help turned out to be useless, resorted to God; he saw in a dream an unfamiliar bishop, whom he was pointed to as a healer; the saint who came actually gave health to the sick man with his prayer;
Not only miracles of healing ailments are also known, but even the resurrection of the dead; one day a mother brought a dead child to the saint; for the sake of the bishop’s holy prayers, he was resurrected by the Lord; Saint Bogi also begged for his mother - seeing her son alive, she herself fell dead, but was also resurrected.

However, when helping people, the saint always did the will of God and bowed before it. When his daughter Irina died prematurely, the father did not complain, but accepted this fate. However, when her acquaintance came to the bishop, crying about the treasure entrusted to the girl, which was now hidden unknown where, the saint went to the tomb and, without a moment’s doubt, asked his daughter about the location of the gold and silver. To the horror and great shock of those present, he received an answer that everyone could hear. And then he commanded the servant of God to rest until the general resurrection.

The saint himself reposed in his cathedral city. Now his miraculous relics reside on Fr. Corfu, where many healings are served.

Five signs that you have had coronavirus infection

3. A relatively important sign is that you have a positive smear for COVID-19, which was taken in the first days of an acute respiratory illness. In fact, this sign is considered relatively important because the accuracy of smears is low, and they give either false positives (indicating an infection when there is none) or false negatives (indicating that there is no infection when in fact there is one). there are) results. Therefore, until recently, patients were given several smears in a row, and if the result was consistently positive, it was concluded that there really was a coronavirus infection. Currently, patients are recommended to test for class M and G antibodies on days 10-12 of illness.

4. Doubtful sign - you have had pneumonia, confirmed by x-ray or CT, but you had negative smears. Until recently, it was believed that coronavirus only causes bilateral pneumonia, but it turned out that it can also cause unilateral pneumonia. Some patients believe that they have had coronavirus only based on X-ray or CT scan data - however, the same antibody test is still required to make a diagnosis. If at least 12 days have passed since the onset of your illness, take an antibody test and you will find out for sure whether your pneumonia was coronavirus, but do not be surprised if the antibodies are negative - there are a lot of pathogens that cause pneumonia, and these are not always viruses.

Why does God send diseases

An unbeliever experiences illness with difficulty. Realizing the futility of the medications taken, weak faith turns into murmuring, despair and rejection of God.

God sends diseases for various reasons:

as punishment for sins;
to cleanse the soul;
for protection from crimes;
for the manifestation of His healing Grace for the edification of people.

A spiritually inattentive patient will say: doctors are treating me, not God. But there is no doctor who would not recognize the will of chance, the will of God, in the treatment process.

Christians know: such “cases” are sent due to the sinfulness of the patient or through the prayer of saints.
