Saint John of the Ladder
Yesterday we commemorated St. John Climacus, also known as St. John of the Ladder. St. John of the Ladder is well known for his book, Ladder of Divine Ascent. Each chapter is a "step" on a rung of a ladder. He covers virtues necessary for the ascetic life, overcoming vices, and growing in virtues.
