Matushka Theodosia’s counsel to her visitors still resounds in the hearts of those who knew her and life and you have come to know her in the time since her repose: “Never be despondent. The Lord Will arrange everything. Everything will be good for you if you will Believe in Him, hoping Him, and live according to His Commandments. And then you will always be joyful and no one will take that joy from you.”
What a story! She had a terrible accident and was paralyzed from the neck down, and in a coma for 20 years. She woke up and lived another 20 years! She was still paralyzed, but came back a clairvoyant and miracle worker. Glory to God!
You can read about her life in this edition of the Orthodox Word, which can be ordered through: St. Herman of Alaska Brotherhood Press in Platina, CA 96076. You will be so happy you did so!
Schemanun Theodosia pray to God for us!
God bless you,
Veronica Hughes

I am a native San Franciscan currently living in Sacramento, CA. Due to health issues in my early 20s, I began a spiritual journey in quest of inner peace and healing. I felt my soul and body were connected and if my soul could heal, perhaps so could my body.
I was a lapsed Catholic who studied Eastern religions. I had a guru and Tibetan lama, practiced prayer and fasting, and meditation techniques. I studied metaphysics, channeling and the life of the soul, which I later taught to others.
Yet, after twenty-five years of seeking within the New Age and Eastern religions, I was left depressed and spiritually unfulfilled. Thanks to my late husband and the grace of God, my spiritual journey ultimately allowed me to convert to back to Christianity, find God and open my heart newly to Jesus Christ through the study of ancient Christianity in the Eastern Orthodox Church.
I am the author of two published books, The Pearl of Great Price and In Christ I am a New Creation, Part I. I am currently working on my third book, A Leap of Faith, and a book about my saint, St. Veronica, my other guardian angel. St. Veronica is the woman with the issue of blood, whom the Lord healed (Matt. 9:20). In 2018, I will be publishing a book about St. Veronica including an Orthodox liturgical service to her.
I am passionate about:
Eastern Orthodox Christianity (Orthodoxy) since my Christian conversion in 1996.
My relationship with Jesus Christ
Striving to live in the world, but not be of the world
Talking about spiritual warfare - there is an unseen battle being fought for the salvation of
our souls
Helping others come to peace with the Church and God
Connecting with other Orthodox Christians about their spiritual experiences
Living a full life while dealing with chronic health issues
My dogs and gardening
My saint, St. Veronica

Glory Be To Jesus Christ. Please can you help me find if there is another book for Schemanun Theodosia?
Thank you and God bless you.

Try contacting St. Herman of Alaska Brotherhood in Platina, CA. They are the ones that published about her in the US. They have a website and contact info. I am not sure there is anything else about her in English, but their article.
