Everyday Saints - Paperback

by Luke Sidarous (Author)

A mechanic in Alexandria who redirected oil pressure in a car to force a priest to visit a saint's monastery. A woman who negotiated with Christ over the exact day of her death. A deacon who fled a Pope rather than receive public recognition. A soldier who shared his trench peacefully with a snake for a year. An old woman who woke in the night to pray for American hostages she had never met and never would.

These are not ancient legends. These are people Hegumen Loka Sidaros sat with, prayed with, confessed, and buried.

Everyday Saints gathers five decades of pastoral witness, recording the lives of men and women who carried the fragrance of holiness into ordinary life. Not monks in caves, but mechanics, doctors, deacons, widows, soldiers, teachers, and engineers who loved Christ with a consuming, practical, daily love and whose lives bore unmistakable witness to His presence.

Originally published in Arabic as five slim booklets under the title The Sweet Fragrance of Christ, Now collected and published in English in this book.
