      SYNOPSIS:When we read the life of a Saint, it should be a very personal experience. Here are the things about St John that have touched a particular sinner and priest, who began his ministry in Texas 21 years ago on the day of the glorification of St John, July 3, 1994. St John always prayed and never "prepared" for prayer. He prayed for everyone he ministered to, often late into the night as they slept. St John loved the Liturgy and served it everyday. He derived great power from this. St John was bold, in ways we who pray little and sleep much cannot understand. One example is the famous story about him trading vodka for an orphan who otherwise would have been sold into slavery, in the slums of Shanghai.
