Following the Ecumenical Patriarchate’s Synodal Act of 26 November 1987, brother Silouan of Russia, who dwelt in the holy patriarchal and Stavropegic Monastery of St Panteleimon for nearly fifty years, was proclaimed a saint in recognition of his pious accomplishments. This distinction acknowledges Silouan’s God-given gifts of healing the sick and the afflicted as well as of voicing a prophetic teaching in the tempestuous twentieth century, gifts earned after years of ascetic struggle to embody love and become a vessel of the Holy Spirit.
