Saint Luke, Archbishop of Simferopol: Physician and Shepherd

Today we remember Saint Luke, Archbishop of Simferopol, a man who combined his calling as a skilled surgeon with his deep faith as a bishop. Born Valentin Felixovich Voyno-Yasenetsky in 1877, he devoted his life to healing both body and soul, serving the poor and enduring persecution with steadfast faith. Saint Luke's legacy includes his medical achievements, his pastoral care, and his endurance through imprisonment and exile. He was glorified as a saint in 1995 and is remembered for his courage, humility, and love for Christ and neighbor.Support the show
