• Sainted GREGORY 格里高利 Bishop of Nyssa, called the Father of Fathers (394) the brother of Basil the Great
Ὁ Ἅγιος Γρηγόριος Ἐπίσκοπος Νύσσης
圣格里高利，尼撒城主教
格里高利是大圣瓦西里的兄弟。起初，格里高利只是一位司祭，因为他有家室；当他的妻子－蒙福的德奥赛维亚去世后，格里高利被选按立为尼撒城的主教。他因博学多才以及富有属灵经验而声名卓著。他参加了第二次普世大公会议（君士坦丁堡，公元381年）。人们普遍认为，《信经》的后半部分是他撰写的。格里高利在讲道、释经和神学方面卓有成就。那些阿里乌派异端者在与他的斗争中无法取胜，于是他们将格里高利视若最大的仇敌，对他格外攻击。因此，当与他们思想一致的同盟——瓦伦斯皇帝统治时期，他们撤除格里高利的主教职务，并将其流放。这位神圣的主教被流放长达八年之久，期间，忍受了各种苦难和羞辱。格里高利最后于公元4世纪末高龄之际方离世安眠，进入基督永生的国度。多个世纪以来，格里高利如同教会的一盏明灯，永远照耀着正信者的心灵。
In the year 381 Saint Gregory was one of the chief figures of the Second Ecumenical Council, convened at Constantinople against the heresy of Macedonius, who incorrectly taught about the Holy Spirit. At this Council, on the initiative of Saint Gregory, the Nicean Symbol of Faith (the Creed) was completed.

• Venerable MACARIUS of the Kiev Caves

• Venerable presbiter MARCIAN 玛尔基安 of Constantinople (473) Priest and Econome of the Great Church
Ὁ Ἅγιος Μαρκιανὸς Πρεσβύτερος καὶ Οἰκονόμος τῆς Μεγάλης Ἐκκλησίας
圣玛尔基安
玛尔基安出生于罗马，作为一名司祭，在玛尔基安皇帝和普鲁切利亚皇后统治的大部分时间内，在君士坦丁堡渡过了他后来的生活。圣玛尔基安从父母那里继承了一笔巨额财产，他通常将钱用于两个方面：或是建立、修整教堂，或是周济穷人。他在君士坦丁堡建立了两座新圣堂——圣阿纳斯塔西教堂和圣伊里尼教堂。这两座教堂都以非常美丽神圣而知名。人们问他，你为什么将这么多钱用在教堂上？他回答说：“如果我有一个女儿，并想把她嫁给一个贵族，我不应该花很多金子将她打扮成相称的新娘吗？我如今装饰教会，因为教会是基督的新娘啊。”这位伟大的圣人在修建教堂以及周济穷人方面非常慷慨，但是他对自己却十分节俭，遵循了使徒的劝勉：“只要有衣食，就当知足”（致提摩泰书一／提前／弟前6：8）。有人这样评述他：“他完全居于上帝中，而上帝也在他内，他岁月满足，功全德备而归主”，其时为公元471年。
Member of a Roman family of Constantinople. Related to Emperor Theodosius II. Ordained in 455. He lived such an austere life that he was wrongly accused of the heresy of Novatianism. Treasurer of the great church Hagia Sophia. Appointed Oikonomos, a position second only to the patriarch in authority. Gave away huge sums from his family fortune, but always anonymously so as not to draw attention to himself. Restored several churches. Composed several hymns, and was known as a miracle worker. One day as he rushed to the consecration of a new church, he encountered a miserable, nearly naked beggar on the street. Marcian gave the man all his clothing, keeping only his chasuble. When he arrived at the church, however, he appeared to be wearing a golden robe under the chasuble; Patriarch Gennadius even rebuked Marcian for dressing so richly. The saint then pulled off the chasuble to show he was naked.

• PAUL the First Hermit of Thebes (230-342) the Anchorite at Lower Thebes, Egypt
Paul grew up in an upper-class, Christian family. He was well educated, fluent in Greek and Egyptian. His parents died when the boy was 15. When the persecutions of Decius began a few years later, Paul fled into the desert to escape both them, and the machinations of his brother Peter and other family members who wanted his property. He lived as a desert hermit in a cave the remainder of his 113 year life, surviving off fruit and water, wearing leaves or nothing, spending his time in prayer; legend says a raven kept him supplied with bread. Late in life he came to know, and was buried by Saint Anthony the Abbot. His biography was written by Saint Jerome.

• Sainted THEOPHAN 德奥梵 the Recluse, of Vyschen, bishop of Tambov (1815-1894)
Ὁ Ὅσιος Θεοφάνης ὁ Ἐρημίτης
All of his time not taken up by inner prayer was devoted to translating the works of the Fathers into Russian and, increasingly, to writings of his own. Most importantly, he prepared a Russian-language edition of the Philokalia which had a deep impact upon Russian spiritual life. In addition to the Philokalia, St Theophan produced (among other works): a Spiritual Psalter of selections from St Ephraim the Syrian; The Path to Salvation, an exposition of Orthodox Spirituality written in clear, plain language for those living in the world; collections of his letters to spiritual children; and Unseen Warfare, a treatise on prayer and the ascetical life. This last has an unusual history. In its original form it was written by Lorenzo Scupoli, an Italian Roman Catholic priest. St Nikodemos of the Holy Mountain, recognizing the book's merit, produced a Greek edition in which he corrected various deviations from Orthodoxy in the original. St Theophan in turn revised the Greek edition extensively, removing some material and adding passages of his own; so that the Italian, Greek and Russian versions are in fact three substantially different books. Many of St Theophan's works (including Unseen Warfare) are available in good English translations. They are almost unique in presenting the undiluted hesychastic spirituality of the Orthodox Church in plain, straightforward language accessible to most people. Saint Theophan’s gift was the ability to present the wisdom of the Fathers in terms which modern people can understand. Since he lived close to our own time, many readers find his books “more approachable” than the earlier patristic literature. He treats the life of the soul and the life of the body as a unified whole, not as two separate elements, and reveals to people the Path of Salvation.
• Blessed THEOSEVIA (Theosebeia or Theosebia) 德奥塞维亚, Dcn. (385) sister of Sts Macrina, Basil the Great, Gregory of Nyssa and Peter of Sebasteia
Ἡ Ἁγία Θεοσεβία ἡ Διακόνισσα
She was a virgin and served Holy Church as a deaconess, caring for the sick, distributing food to vagrants, raising orphans and preparing women for holy Baptism. There is strong evidence that Saint Theosevia the Deaconess was the wife of Saint Gregory of Nyssa, but this is not generally accepted for lack of complete evidence. An ambiguous expression in the Letter of Condolence written by Gregory the Theologian to Gregory of Nyssa upon the death of Theosevia the Deaconess, expressly calls her his "sister" and "consort". The latter word "consort" in Greek is syzigon, which also means "spouse". This and other language certainly indicates a close relationship which scholars generally agree either mean she was Gregory of Nyssa's wife or sister.

O God, be merciful to me, a sinner.
愿上帝怜恤我罪人
O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God,
for the sake of the prayers
of Thy most pure Mother,
our holy and God-bearing fathers and all the saints, have mercy on us.
Amen.
