" Since the almighty God has dispensed

Withdrawing to the Holy City

As a physician and professor he trained many students and colleagues in the art of surgery

The saint himself had marked the place where finally they would bury him

the nun remained silent and told no one of her vision

He regularily read the Holy Scriptures and shared his knowledge about the One God with the shepherds in his area

He developed a close spiritual bond with seven women

Soon she had nothing left for herself

purifying our spiritual eyes of worldly thoughts and refraining from perishable and quickly passing delights and beauty which darken the garb of the soul and lead to the fire of Gehenna and everlasting darkness

After making the Sign of the Cross
