在慈悲的约翰担任亚历山大牧首期间,一个年轻的修士出现了,当他抵达亚历山大后收集了这里的所有妓女的名字。这个修士的修行生活是非常独特的。在白天,他苦苦作工,而在晚上他来到妓女的房间,将自己辛苦挣来的钱全部都给了妓女,然后将自己同妓女关在房间中一整个晚上。当他们关上门之后,维塔里斯叫妓女躺下来睡觉,而自己在房间的一个角落中彻夜为这个罪人向上帝祷告。这样,他可以拯救妓女逃离罪恶,哪怕只有一个晚上。第二天,他前往另一个妓女那里;第三天又前往其他妓女那里,就这样,直到他走访了城中的所有妓女。之后,他又会返回到第一个妓女那里。在他的劝说下,一些妓女放弃了这肮脏的交易:有的结婚了、有的去了修道院、有的开始从事体面的工作,自己挣钱。维塔里斯不让这些女人说出他走访她们的原因。因此,维塔里斯遭到亚历山大全城人的唾骂。人们开始嘲笑他、唾弃他,并在大街上公开殴打他。维塔里斯默默地忍受了这一切,只要上帝知道真相就好了,其他人知道与否没有什么关系。在维塔里斯去世后真相大白。许多病人在他的坟墓前得到了医治。各地的人们带着病人前往维塔里斯的坟墓,请求他的医治。被人唾弃的人,无所不知的上帝将荣耀赐给了他。
