• "SUMORIN TOTMA" Icon of the Mother of God (1554)
The Sumorin Totemsk Icon of the Mother of God was glorified by numerous healings at the Spaso-Sumorinsk monastery of the city of Tot'ma. When the inhabitants of the city turned to tsar Ivan the Terrible for permission to build a monastery in their city, the Rostov archbishop Nikandr in the year 1554 bestowed upon the Monk Theodosii the grammota-grant for building. The hegumen of the Prilutsk monastery blessed the Monk Theodosii with an icon of the Mother of God for success at building the new monastery. The icon thereafter received the name Sumorinsk-Totemsk ("Sumorinsk" derives from the family name of the Monk Theodosii, and Totemsk from the placename Tot'ma). After the death of the monk, the wonderworking icon was situated in a kiosk-case in front of the crypt of the saint at the Ascension church of the monastery.
It is to be noted, that for many of the sick, the Monk Theodosii has appeared to them holding this icon in his hands.
• New Martyrs and Confessors of RUSSIAN Church // MOVABLE HOLIDAY ON THE SUNDAY CLOSEST TO JANUARY 25TH //
Today we commemorate the uncounted millions of faithful who suffered and died at the hands of the Soviet atheists. These include the Tsar-martyr NICHOLAS II and the rest of the Russian Royal Family (July 4); Patriarch TIKHON (March 24); Grand Duchess ELIZABETH (July 5); thousands of martyrs, both clergy and laity, whose names are known; but also millions upon millions of simple believers whose names have been lost to history. The number of the New Martyrs of Russia far exceeds all those from the "Age of the Martyrs," the first three centuries of Christianity. May their memory be eternal.
Martyrdom is the same thing as Christianity. These two words have the same meaning. Hatred against Christ and His followers should not surprise us. It is natural, it was foretold by the Lord Himself, Who said: “If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you” (John 15:18).
Today we celebrate the memory of the Holy New Martyrs and Confessors of the Russian land. These are all the multitude of bishops, priests, monks, nuns, laymen, laywomen, and children who were killed or suffered gravely because of their faith and their refusal to compromise their faith, to cooperate with the new revolutionary government, or to renounce their faith in Christ. The experience of each and every one of these martyrs and confessors was unique. Even if their manner of death or suffering was similar in many cases, each of them brought with them to that moment of confession or martyrdom a unique soul, a unique set of experiences and circumstances. If we were to enter into the mind and heart of each one of these saints and observe the unique way in which they experienced their suffering and the knowledge of their coming martyrdom, we would see a wondrous tapestry of experience. And the thread which holds all this tapestry together is love, love for Christ. was foretold by the Lord Himself, Who said: “If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you” (John 15:18).

• Venerable hierodeacon EPHREM 艾弗冷 the Syrian (373-379) a teacher of repentance
Ὁ Ὅσιος Ἐφραὶμ ὁ Σύρος
可敬的叙利亚的艾弗冷
艾弗冷出生于叙利亚一个贫苦的家庭，当时正是君士坦丁大帝在位期间。年轻时生活放荡不羁，但是他的灵魂突然间有了很大的改变，并开始转向主耶稣，对主耶稣充满了爱。艾弗冷是圣雅科弗?尼斯比斯（1月13日）的徒弟。出于来自上帝不尽的恩典，从他口中流出的智慧如同一条充满蜂蜜的小溪，从他眼中淌出源源不断的泪水。他有如一只勤劳的蜜蜂不停地写书，或教导修道院中的修士和埃德萨城中的百姓、或是自己进行祷告和默想。他的著作众多，祈祷优美。他最著名的杰作就是在大斋期内用的祷告词：
主，我生命之君宰，Lord and Master of my life, give
勿许我陷于懈惰、好奇、me not a spirit of sloth, vain
图权及空谈之偏情。curiosity, lust for power and idle talk.
但求赐节制、谦逊、But give to me, your servant, a spirit
忍耐及爱慕之德于你的仆役。of soberness, humility, patience and love.
哦，主，我的君王，求赐我认识自己的过犯O Lord and King, grant me to see
而非判断我的弟兄，my own faults and not to condemn
因赞美归于你，my brother: for blessed are you
世世无尽。阿民！to the ages of ages. Amen.
后来，当有人强他所难任命他作主教时，他就开始装疯，拖着衣服在埃德萨城中奔跑。看到这之后，人们只好作罢。圣艾弗冷同大圣瓦西里属于同代人，且是好朋友。圣艾弗冷主要被人们看作是一位引导人悔过的圣徒，时至今日，他的著作依然能够打动许多被罪硬化了的人心，使人们归向主基督。圣艾弗冷公元378年于高龄之际离世。
He was surnamed the Prophet of the Syrians, the Syrians' Elia, the Column of the Church, and the Harp of the Holy Spirit.

• Venerable JAMES 雅各 the Hermit and Faster of Porphyreon in Palestine (6th c.) the Ascetic, Who Murdered Yet Overcame Despair
Ὁ Ὅσιος Ἰάκωβος ὁ Ἀσκητὴς
The Roman Martyrology says: "In Palestine the memory of Saint James the Hermit, who, after a lapse from the faith, lay hid long in a tomb for penance, and renowned for miracles, passed to the Lord." A later legend changes the "lapse from the faith" into one of homicide, committed under the most romantic circumstances. The Prayer of St James the Ascetic from Within the Sepulcher: How can I presume to gaze upon Your holy icon, O Master, with my polluted eyes? How can I begin to confess my sins? With what heart and conscience can I approach? How will I move my impious tongue and soiled lips towards Your praise? For what sins shall I ask forgiveness first? How will I open my foul mouth to ask Your forgiveness for my wickedness? O Lord, lover of mankind, have pity upon me and bestow Your mercy upon me, unworthy as I am. Cast me not into perdition, though I am ungodly and iniquitous. I, the thrice-wretched, have committed fornication and murder, thereby defiling my soul in two-fold measure! I am not worthy to walk on Your earth! I dare not lift these profane and indecent eyes of mine to You in the heavens; but I take refuge in Your infinite compassion. Have mercy on me, though I am irreverent and undeserving. Have pity and compassion on me, who am filled with passions, and leave me not to the noetic dragon who will greedily devour me with his charming delights. But, with Your almighty hand, raise me up from this unclean and insatiable abyss!
