Andrew was born in Damascus of Christian parents. He was a mute from birth
until the age of seven. When his parents brought him to church and he received
Holy Communion, he began to speak. So great is the power of the Divine and Holy
Communion. At age fourteen, Andrew went to Jerusalem and was tonsured in the
Lavra of St. Sabas the Sanctified. By virtue of his understanding and
asceticism, he surpassed many of the older monks and was an example to them.
After a while, the patriarch took him as his personal secretary. When the
Monothelite heresy began to rage the heresy which taught that the Lord Jesus
did not possess a human will but only a divine will the Sixth Ecumenical
Council convened in Constantinople in the year 681 A.D. during the reign of
Constantine IV [Bearded One]. Theodore, the Patriarch of Jerusalem, was unable
to attend the council but sent Andrew as his representative who, at that time,
was an Archdeacon. At the council, Andrew displayed his wonderful gift of
oratory, his zeal for the Faith and rare prudence. Having assisted in
strengthening the Orthodox Faith, Andrew returned to his duties in Jerusalem.
Later, he was elected and installed as the Archbishop of the Island of Crete.
As an archbishop, he was greatly loved by the people. Andrew was very zealous
for Orthodoxy and vehemently eradicated all heresies. Through his prayers he
worked miracles. By his prayers, he drove the Saracens from the Island of
Crete. Andrew wrote many books of instruction, hymns and canons of which the
most renown is the Great Canon to the Birth-giver of God read on Thursday of the
Fifth Sunday of the Great Lenten Season. His outward appearance was such that "seeing
his face and hearing his words flowing like honey, everyone found pleasure and
amended their ways." On one occasion, returning from Constantinople,
Andrew foretold his death before he arrived in Crete. And so it happened. When
the boat in which he traveled sailed near the island of Mitylene, this beacon of
the Church ended his earthly life and with his soul, took up habitation in the
Kingdom of Christ in the year 721 A.D.

Martha was the mother of St. Simeon of the Wonderful Mountain (May 24).
Dedicated with all her soul to the Faith, she did not think of marriage. When
her parents betrothed her to a young man, Martha thought of leaving the home of
her parents and to withdrew from the world. But, St. John the Baptist appeared
to Martha and counseled her to fulfill the will of her parents and to enter into
marriage, which she did. From this marital union, the glorious saint, Simeon of
the Wonderful Mountain was born. She had the regular habit of rising at
midnight for prayer. With great charity, she helped the needy and misfortunate,
visited the poor, the orphaned and attended the sick. A year before her death
she saw many angels with candles in their hands and, from them, learned the time
of her death. Learning of this, Martha with even greater zeal dedicated herself
to prayer and good works. She died peacefully in the year 551 A.D. and was
buried in the proximity of her son, Simeon the Stylite. After her death, she
appeared many times for the purpose of instructing mankind and for the sake of
healing the sick. Recorded as her most significant appearance was the one to
the abbot of Simeon's monastery. Following the burial of St. Martha, the abbot
placed a votive candle on her grave with the understanding that it should never
be extinguished. Then the abbot became ill and the saintly Martha appeared to
him and said: "Why do you not burn a votive candle on my grave? Know that
I am not in need of the light from your candle since I have been made worthy
before God, the Eternal Heavenly Light, but it is needed for you. So when you
burn a light on my grave, you entreat me to pray to the Lord for you." It
is obvious from this that the goal of our veneration for the saints is to
entreat them as those worthier than us to pray to God for us and for our
salvation.

If your entire life passed smoothly and without worry, then weep for
yourself. For the Gospel and the experience of the people, with one accord
assert that no one has, without great suffering and pain, left behind any great
and beneficial work on earth or was glorified in the heavens. If, however, your
earthly sojourn is completely adorned with sweat and tears to attain justice and
truth, rejoice and be exceedingly glad for truly great is your reward in the
heavens. Do not ever succumb to the insane thought that God has abandoned you.
God knows exactly how much one can endure and, according to that, measures the
sufferings and pains of everyone. St. Nil Sorsky says: "When even men know
how much weight a horse, or a donkey or a camel can carry and, according to that
they are loading them according to their strength; when a potter knows how long
to leave the clay in the kiln for it to be neither shattered nor over-baked, how
could God not know how much temptation a soul can bear to make it ready and
fitted for the Kingdom of Heaven?"

About the salvation of a soul as the end of faith

"Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your
souls" (1 Peter 1:9).
¡§¦¬¨ì§Aªº«H©Àªºµ²§ô, §AªºÆF»îªº¬Æ¦Ü±Ï§U¡¨ ( 1 ºJ¡C¯Sº¸ 1:9 ) ¡C
Brethren, what is the end of faith? The salvation of a soul. What is the
goal of faith? The salvation of a soul. What is the fruit of faith? The
salvation of a soul. We do not adhere to faith, therefore, for the sake of faith
but rather for the salvation of our souls. No one travels for the sake of the
road but because of someone or something that awaits him at the end of the road.
No one throws a rope into the water in which someone is drowning for the sake
of the rope but for the sake of the one drowning. God gave faith to us as a
road, the end of which the travelers will receive salvation of their souls.
And, as a rope, God extended faith to us who are drowning in the dark waters of
sin, ignorance and vice that we, through the help of faith, save our lives.

That is the purpose of faith. Whoever knows the price of a human soul must
admit that there is nothing in this world more necessary or more beneficial than
faith. A merchant who carries precious stones in an earthen vessel carefully
and cautiously protects the vessel, hides it and keeps vigil over it. Is it
because of the vessel that the merchant exerts such effort and concern? Not
because of the vessel, but because of the precious stones which are in the
vessel. Our entire earthly life is like an earthen vessel in which a priceless
treasure is hidden. That priceless treasure is our soul. A vessel is cheap but
a treasure is valuable. First, one must have faith in the value of a human soul
and second, in the future glow and life of the soul in the Kingdom of God;
third, in the Living God Who waits for the return of a soul which He Himself
gave us and fourth, in the possibility that a soul could be lost in this world.
Whosoever has faith in these four things will know how to protect his soul and
will further know that the salvation of a soul is the end of his road, the goal
of his faith, the fruit of his life, the purpose of his existence on earth and
the justification of his sufferings.

We believe for the sake of the salvation of our soul. Whoever has a true
faith, must also know that faith is for the sake of the salvation of souls. He
who thinks that his faith serves another purpose other than salvation does not
have a true faith nor does he know the value of his soul.
