A sinner in Rome, called Victorin scared to death of his many sins entered the monastery within the name of Emilian. He started subjecting to heavy tryings, marvelling all and making them also endeavour for their salvation.
That hermitage was settled in a tall mountain, carved into the rock. Emilian prayed with many tears to be forgiven. The abbot followed him in a night to the cave, where Emiian used to pray. He watched Emilian and saw a light from the sky and a voice confirming that Emilian was forgiven. Returning to the hermitage, the abbot said to the other monks about the miracle. "Almighty God has given you His infinite mercy, and you should thank to Him."
Repentance is the way to salvation We remember of Saint martyr Emilian on March 7th. |
