My brother in law once remarked that God seems to send saints to a people that run counter to their bad tendencies. For example: Slavs can be very somber and self-serious, so He sends them many fools for Christ. Greeks can be a bit lax and lazy, so He sends them a lot of strict ascetics. For America, our generalized vice is probably being weird and neurotically self-centered. St Olga, by comparison, lived a quiet life of service, compassion, and endless hours of knitting clothes for others. The site for the OCA Archdiocese of Canada describes her as “one who lives in harmony with others, serves quietly, and carries warmth into the lives of those around her,” and that she “spoke little but listened much.” St Olga, pray for us
