everything known by Christians about Jesus Christ and His teachings

and he asked for a sign

and founded a woman's monastery

but the saint believed that God would provide for His servants

about the size of a finger

so that even those far off might reverently contemplate it

But they did not stop and continued to kick and beat him

humbly trusting in Him
