(c. 579–649)

Saint John of the Ladder was born in Syria and entered the monastery at the age of sixteen. After the death of his spiritual father, Martyrius John, the saint withdrew to a hermitage, where he lived for some twenty years, studying the lives of the saints. When he was seventy-five, the monks of Sinai persuaded him return to serve as their abbot. Four years later he resigned his charge and returned to his hermitage to prepare for death. His Ladder of Divine Ascent is beloved as a vision of the human struggle to partake of God’s unending Life.
