† Repose of Rev. Cornelius of Pereyaslavsky Ave. Cornelius, in the world Konon 273, the son of a Ryazan merchant, in his youth disappeared from his parents’ house and into the Lucian desert, in the 25th century. from Pereyaslavl, lived for 5 years with Elder Paul. Then he came to the Pereyaslav monastery of St. Boris and Gleb, on the sands; There were then only three monks and the builder Sergius; the monastery was the poorest. Sergius did not agree to accept Konon for a long time, because he was still young - by his appearance they thought he was “no more than 15 years old” - besides, he did not say anything about himself; but Conon's patience brought him to his goal. He did not leave the gates of the monastery, and he was accepted into the monastery, recognizing him as deaf and dumb. Konon diligently went to the church and worked diligently in obedience - he ground rye, carried firewood for the meal, carried water, - did everything that was ordered; and at meals he did not sit with the elders, but after all he was content with what was left; Moreover, he ate food only three times a week. He lived like this for 5 years and, at his request, was tonsured as a monk. From that time on, no one saw him sleeping on his bed, and he continued to perform his obedience with full diligence. The number of brethren had already increased in the monastery, and some laughed at Cornelius as a holy fool; he endured and was silent. Three years later, he asked the builder for permission to live in seclusion. The builder, seeing his ascetic life, built him a cell and blessed him to live in it. Cornelius shut himself up and labored hopelessly in fasting and prayer. But once they found him near his cell, barely alive, the cell was locked from the inside and only the window was open. – Cornelius lay sick for three months and did not eat anything, but took only water and juice. Having recovered, he remained, according to the conviction of the abbot, to live with the brethren, diligently went to church, corrected the position of sexton, served in the meal - dug the earth, planted vegetables and fruit trees. Excellent apples grew in his garden, and he lovingly gave them away without any money. Strict fasting and labors dried him up so much that he looked like a dry tree; and yet he did not stop working. “With his own hands he dug a well for the brothers, and the water of his well was very tasty and clean. He did not break his silence even now, when he lived with the brethren. He lived like this for 30 years, remaining deaf and dumb in the opinion of others. Before his death, which he made known by signs, he went to his common spiritual father, abbot of the St. Nicholas Monastery Varlaam, confessed, and received Holy Communion. Tain, at his request, was clothed in the schema; Only now, at the request of his confessor, did he tell about himself, who he was, where he was from, how his life went. Returning to the monastery, St. oil and died on the same day. It was July 22, 1693. He was buried in the chapel, near the original schema-monk Adrian, who was killed. Nine years later, during the construction of a new church, its incorruptible relics were found. During the consecration of the church in honor of the Smolensk Icon of the Mother of God in 1705, St. Demetrius of Rostov, in whose jurisdiction Pereyaslavl was then, testified to the relics, and they were placed in the new church, under cover. The saint wrote the troparion and kontakion to the monk; At the same time, an icon of the saint was painted. - In the RKP. the life records only 17 miracles that occurred at the relics of the monk until July 1717; His name is also included in the RKP. Saints. - His icon with the inscription: “Image of St. Cornelius, Pereslavl Wonderworker." Kontakion to the Reverend, composition by St. Demetrius: “Desiring to receive the highest, you have labored without laziness in the highest, O blessed One; Yes, having inherited the things above, you despised the things below, not only turning away your eyes from seeing vanity, but also imposing silence on your lips and not speaking about vanity: yet, with a silent heart, you sang to God. “For now, don’t keep silent when you pray for us, Reverend Cornelius.”274 St. Myrrh-Bearer and Equal-to-the-Apostles Mary Magdalene Mary Magdalene comes from Palestine, from the tribe of Issachar, from the town of Magdala (Matthew 15:39), which is why she is called Magdalene. She was the most ardent disciple of Jesus Christ; followed Him and served Him (Mark 15:40–41). Together with other wives, Magdalene walked and wept for the Lord, who was led to his death (Luke 23:28,55). When the Lord was crucified on the cross, she looked at the Crucified One from afar with deep sorrow and was present at His burial (Mark 15:47; Matt. 27:61). On the first day of the week after the death of Jesus Christ, now called Resurrection, she came very early with prepared aromas to the tomb of the Lord to anoint His body. Not finding the body of the Lord in the tomb, she hastily announced this to the Apostles Peter and John and again flowed to the tomb, stood in bewilderment and cried. In heartfelt contrition, she leaned close to the tomb, and was the first to hear from the Angels the joyful news of the resurrection of the Lord (John 20:1–13; Luke 24:1–6); then she was the first to see and confess the risen Lord, and the first to bring His disciples the good news of His resurrection (Mark 16:9–10; John 20:14–18). After the ascension of Jesus Christ into heaven, Magdalene probably remained in unanimous prayer with the Apostles and with Mary, the Mother of Jesus Christ (Acts 1:14). According to the legend of Nicephorus, Kedrin and Constantine Manasseh, Magdalene worked hard to preach the Gospel; traveled to Rome (Rom.16:6); appearing before Emperor Tiberius, she presented him with a red egg and accused Pilate of unjustly condemning Jesus Christ. From Rome, the Equal-to-the-Apostles evangelist came to John the Theologian in Ephesus and there, having served with the Apostle for the salvation of people, she ended her earthly life and was buried. According to Westerners, Mary Magdalene allegedly died in Gaul in Provence and was buried in Marseille, whose inhabitants she converted to Christ. In the 4th century, the Church Fathers Ambrose, Chrysostom, Augustine and others glorified Equal-to-the-Apostles in their teachings. In the 5th century, during the reign of the Greek Emperor Leo I, her relics were transferred from Ephesus to Constantinople. In the same 5th century, Anatoly of Constantinople, in the 9th century, Byzantium and Theophanes of Nicaea wrote many hymns for St. Day. Equal to the Apostles Mary Magdalene. The Church, commemorating her, glorifies her as a glorious disciple of the Word, everywhere proclaiming the word of the grace of salvation and catching many who are deceived by ignorance. At the liturgy on the day of Mary Magdalene, by reading the Apostles, the Church testifies that the Apostles had the power to take with them the wives of the sisters, among whom was Mary Magdalene (1 Cor. 9:2-12); The Gospel preaches about women who were healed by the Savior from evil spirits and diseases, and in gratitude for this they served Him with their property, among whom was Mary Magdalene (Luke 8:1-3).
