It\u2019s getting cold there!<\/p>\n<p><strong>SAINT OF THE DAY: <\/strong><strong>Venerable Theodora of Alexandria<\/strong> is commemorated on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oca.org\/saints\/lives\/2022\/09\/11\">September 11<\/a>. She and her husband lived in Alexandria in love and harmony. But goaded on by the devil, a certain rich man was captivated by the youthful beauty of Theodora and began with all his abilities to lead her into adultery, but for a long time, he was unsuccessful. Then he bribed a woman of loose morals, who led the unassuming Theodora astray by saying that a secret sin, which the sun does not see, is also unknown to God. Theodora betrayed her husband, but soon came to her senses and realized the seriousness of her fall. Her conscience gave her no peace, and Theodora went to a renowned abbess and told her about her transgression. The abbess, seeing the repentance of the young woman, spoke to her of God\u2019s forgiveness and reminded her of the sinful woman in the Gospel, who washed the feet of Christ with her tears and received from Him forgiveness of her sins. At that moment Saint Theodora resolved to go off to a monastery to purify herself by labor and by prayer. She left her home secretly, and dressing in men\u2019s clothes, she went to a men\u2019s monastery, since she feared that her husband would find her in a women\u2019s monastery. The saint labored at the monastery for eight years. Her body, once defiled by adultery, now became a vessel of the grace of God and a receptacle of the Holy Spirit. Once, the saint was sent to Alexandria to buy provisions. After blessing her for the journey, the ihumen indicated that in case of a delay, she should stay over at the Enata monastery, which was on the way. Also staying at the guest house of the Enata monastery was the daughter of its ihumen. She had come to visit with her father. Attracted by the comeliness of the young monk, she tried to seduce the monk Theodore into the sin of fornication, not knowing that it was a woman standing before her. Meeting with refusal, she committed sin with another guest and became pregnant. Meanwhile, the saint bought the food and returned to her own monastery. After a certain, the father of the shameless girl, realizing that a transgression had occurred, began to question his daughter about the father of the child. The girl indicated that it was the monk Theodore. The father at once reported it to the Superior of the monastery where Saint Theodora labored in asceticism. The ihumen summoned the saint and repeated the accusation. The saint firmly replied: \u201cAs God is my witness, I did not do this.\u201d When the girl gave birth, the Enata monks brought the infant to the monastery where the ascetic lived and began to reproach its monks for an unchaste life. They entrusted the infant into the care of the saint and threw her out of the monastery in disgrace. The saint humbly submitted to this new trial, seeing in it the penance of her former sin. She settled with the child not far from the monastery in a hut. Bearing her misfortune, the holy ascetic spent seven years in banishment. Finally, at the request of the monks, the ihumen allowed her to return to the monastery with the child, and in seclusion, she spent two years instructing the child. Before her death, Saint Theodora shut herself in her cell with the child and instructed him to love God above all things. She told him to obey the ihumen and the brethren, to preserve tranquility, to be meek and without malice, to avoid obscenity and silliness, to love non-covetousness, and not to neglect their communal prayer. After this, she prayed, and for the last time, she asked the Lord to forgive her sins. Soon the words of prayer faded from the lips of the ascetic, and she peacefully departed to a better world. The Lord revealed to the ihumen the spiritual accomplishments of the saint, and also her secret. The ihumen, in order to remove any dishonor from the deceased, in the presence of the ihumen and brethren of the Enata monastery uncovered the bosom of the saint as proof. The Enata ihumen and brethren realized what a great sin they have committed. Falling down before the body of the saint, with tears they asked for forgiveness of Saint Theodora. News of Saint Theodora reached her former husband. He received monastic tonsure at this same monastery where his wife had been. And the child also followed in the footsteps of his foster mother. Afterward, he became ihumen of this very monastery.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WE APPRECIATE<\/strong> the generosity of our benefactors, who helped us to cover the cost of the replacement of the recently vandalized windows.
