Traditional Orthodoxy in America. June 30, 2010. St John of San Francisco - BE CAREFUL! Stand fast on spiritual watch, because you don't know when the Lord will call you to Himself. In your earthly life be ready at any moment to give Him an account. Beware that the enemy does not catch you in his nets, that he not deceive you causing you to fall into temptation.
