Dometius was born in Persia as a pagan during the reign of Emperor
Constantine. He became acquainted with the Faith of Christ as a young man,
abandoned paganism and was baptized. So much did Dometius love the True Faith
that he left everything worldly and was tonsured a monk in a monastery near the
town of Nisibis. He lived for some time among the brethren and then withdrew to
a life of silence to be with an a certain elder Archmandrite Urbel, about whom
it is said that he did not eat anything cooked for sixty years. The elder Urbel
ordained Dometius a deacon and when he wanted to compel him to receive the rank
of a priest, Dometius withdrew to an isolated mountain and settled in a cave.
He attained such a high degree of perfection through fasting, prayer, all night
vigils and godly-thoughts that he cured the sick. When Julian the Apostate came
to those regions, he heard of Dometius and sent men, who sealed him alive in the
cave along with two of his disciples. Thus, this saint of God died and took up
habitation in the Kingdom of God in the year 363 A.D.

Or attained great perfection through the greatest mortification. When he
firmly established himself and attained holiness in solitude, he then gradually
established several monasteries and was a superb spiritual leader and teacher of
many monks. Rufinus, who visited him describes Or in the following way: "In
his dress [habit], he resembled an angel of God; a ninety-year old elder with a
long beard, as white as snow; externally was very pleasant. His gaze shone with
something super human." Often times, he saw the angels of God. He
especially endeavored never to speak an untruth. He had great temptations from
the demons but overpowered them all soberly and courageously. He received Holy
Communion daily. On one occasion, one of his disciples reminded him that the
Feast of the Resurrection had come and that it should be celebrated. Hearing
this, Or came out, raised his hands to heaven and spent three days in prayer
without rest. He explained to his disciple: "For the monk, this is the
celebration of the Resurrection of Christ: to elevate his mind and to unite it
with God." He rested in deep old age about the year 390 A.D.

Marinus was a soldier and Asterius was a Roman senator. At the time of
Emperor Gallienus, St. Marinus served as a soldier in Caesarea in Palestine.
Marinus was beheaded for the sake of the Faith of Christ. Asterius, the
senator, also a Christian, was present at his martyrdom. He removed his dolman
and, with it, wrapped the body of the martyr, placed it on his shoulders, took
it and honorably buried it. Seeing this, the pagans beheaded him also. They
both died honorably for Christ about the year 260 A.D.

Pimen was sickly from his youth and from his youth desired the monastic
life. Brought to the Lavra of the Caves in Kiev for healing, he remained there
until his death. Pimen prayed to God, more for sickness, than for health. At
night, angels appeared to him and tonsured him a monk. On that occasion, the
angels informed him that he will be ill until his death and, just before his
death, will become healthy. And so, it was. Pimen was bedridden for twenty
years. He worked miracles during his lifetime and was unusually discerning.

Neither concern yourself about the righteous nor envy the sinner. Remember
always that the Lord Christ, by His resurrection, conquered a shameful death and
that Herod, Judas, Nero, Julian the Apostate, Valerian, Leo the Armenian and
other opponents of Christ, by a shameful death mortalized forever their
temporary successes and victories. Envious ones slandered St. Narcissus the
Patriarch for violating his chastity. The innocent Narcissus withdrew into the
wilderness and spent many years in silence and patiently waited for God to do
His will. Three patriarchs followed him [on the patriarchal throne] and only
then did men come forward and clearly prove his innocence. Then everyone forced
him to return from the wilderness to his throne. Thus, God justifies the
righteous. The bloody Emperor Valerian, with satanic passion, murdered
Christians throughout the entire world [Roman Empire]. How did he end up? In
battle with the Persians, he was defeated and enslaved by King Sapor. Sapor did
not desire to kill him immediately but used him as a mounting block whenever he
wanted to mount a horse. Every day, King Sapor's servants brought Valerian
along with a horse and Sapor enjoyed placing his foot on the neck of the Roman
Emperor in order to make it easier for him to mount the horse. He who sows an
evil seed reaps an evil harvest.

About the new law from Zion
關於從天國的新法律
"For out of Zion shall go forth the law and the word of the
Lord from Jerusalem" (Isaiah 2:3).
“將向前為從天國去從耶路撒冷的主的法律和詞” ( 艾賽爾 2:3 ) 。
The prophet speaks of a new law and of a new word. The old law was given on
Sinai and the new law will come from Zion. The old law was given through Moses
and the new law, the Lord Christ Himself will bring. That [the old law] was
intended in the beginning only for the Jews, and this one [the new law], will be
directed to all peoples and all of mankind. Even though these words of the
prophet are clear, however, the Jews could not understand them nor do they
understand them today. The meaning of these words is closed to them because of
their stony hearts. To whom do they [the Jews] apply these words? To no one.
How do they [the Jews] interpret these words? They do not. They pass by these
words as a blind man passes by an open door. If they were able to comprehend
these words, would they have then acted in such a manner as they acted with the
prophet and the prophesied One [Christ]? Would they have sawn Isaiah and
crucified Christ on the Cross?
先知一條新法律並且一個新詞說話。舊法律在西奈和從天國被來的新法律愿望上被給。舊法律通過摩西和新法律被給, 主合[利爾]斯托。斯將自己帶。那 [ 舊法律 ] 因為，僅僅在開始被打算猶太人，並且這個 [ 新法律 ], 將被指導到人類的所有的民族和所有。盡管先知的這些詞是清楚的, 然而, 猶太人不能理解他們也不他們今天理解他們。這些詞的意思因為他們的多石的心靠近他們。到誰他們 [ 猶太人 ] 使用這些詞？到沒有人。怎麼他們 [ 猶太人 ] 解釋這些詞？他們不做。他們作為人在一扇開門邊傳遞的一個窗帘這些詞過去。如果他們能理解這些詞，當他們與先知和預言的先知行動了，他們將那麼在如此的一種方式行動 [ 合[利爾]斯托。斯 ] ？他們將鋸艾賽爾並且在十字上把合[利爾]斯托。斯釘在十字架上了嗎？
The Jews considered the law of Moses to be the only and final law of God.
That is why they were unable to comprehend the meaning of the prophecy of the
new law from Zion, i.e., from the House of David, for David glorified Zion. But
if the Jews did not know to comprehend the new law through the old law, we
Christians know that through the new law we comprehend the old law. The Jews
only had a tree without fruit but we have the tree and the fruit. They only had
an image without reality, but we have both reality and the image. They adhered
only to promises and that, incorrectly understood, but we have the promises and
the fulfillment.
猶太人認為了摩西的法律唯一並且最後上帝的法律。那是他們是不能的從天國理解新法律的預言的意思的原因, 即, 從達微。德的房子，因為達微。德贊美了天國。但是如果猶太人不知道通過舊法律理解新法律，我們合[利爾]斯托。斯教通過我們理解舊法律的新法律知道那。猶太人僅僅沒有水果有了一棵樹但是我們有樹和水果。他們僅僅沒有現實有了一幅聖像，但是我們有現實和聖像。他們僅僅粘住了到諾言和那，不正確地理解了，但是我們有諾言和實行。
O All-rich Lord, Who has enriched us with Your spiritual law and Your
life-giving words, You only do we worship and to You only do we pray; grant us
wisdom and power to live according to Your law and to uphold Your holy word, so
that we may not become poor before You, Who has made us rich!
哦！阿爾 - 裡奇•主啊, 與你的神的法律和你的賦與生命的詞富裕了我們, 你僅僅做我們崇拜並且僅僅到你我們祈禱;同意我們智慧和力量根據你的法律生活並且舉起你的神聖的詞, 以便我們不能在你前變得窮，使了我們富有﹗
To Thee be glory and praise forever. Amen.
讚榮和感謝永遠歸於你。阿民。
