24 Paterikon for Kids -The Mother of Orphans-Saint Sophia

June 4/June17

Saint Sophia of Thrace lived some thousand years ago, yet her life serves as a fabulous example of how much we have to love Christ, the way He asks us to, more than anybody and everything else. The Saint lost her beloved husband and their six children to an epidemic, but she didn't lose faith in Christ, who led her to improve the lives and ultimately save the souls of dozens of orphaned children.
