In this episode of The Southern Catholic Podcast, we dive into the life of St. John Theristus, a humble monk known for his compassion, prayer, and quiet strength.
Born in southern Italy during a time of persecution and hardship, John lived as a shepherd before embracing monastic life. His nickname, Theristus — meaning “the Reaper” — reflects the spiritual harvest he gathered through humility, service, and deep trust in God.
Through his example, we explore what it means to live a hidden life rooted in mercy and steady faithfulness. St. John reminds us that holiness often grows far from the spotlight — in daily obedience, hard work, and love of neighbor.
Join us as we reflect on how ordinary faithfulness can bear extraordinary fruit.
