Through the Pages of the Theological Works of Archimandrite Justin Popović

This article traces the life of St. Justin Popović of Ćelije, Serbia in the context of his grace-filled writings, showing the depth of his love and wisdom. St. Justin, spiritual son of St. Nikolai Velimirović, produced various dogmatic works and also a tome on the Lives of Saints. St. Justin writes, “The lives of saints are, as a matter of fact, dogmatics incarnate, because in them all the eternal and holy dogmatic truths come to life in all their life-giving and substantive force.” This same truth was witnessed to not only by St. Justin’s pen, but by his very life. Since St. Justin was both born and reposed on April 7th, the feast of the Annunciation, his feast day was moved to June 1st, the same day as his patron, St. Justin the Philosopher (also called: St. Justin Martyr). O holy Father Justin, pray to God for us!This article was originally published in Russian in 1984, five years after the repose of St. Justin: http://www.pravmir.com/through-the-pa...This channel is dedicated to sharing the prayers, hymns, teachings, and service texts of the Eastern Orthodox Church.
