Saint of the Day 3/31
Every Saint has a story & Saint Stephen Mar Saba's biographer and disciple wrote: “Whatever help, spiritual or material, he was asked to give, he gave. He received and honored all with the same kindness. He possessed nothing and lacked nothing. In total poverty, he possessed all things.”

Saint Stephen Mar Saba, pray for us. Read more below:
