St. Moses Murin (ca. 400).

The Monk Moses Murin lived in the 4th century in Egypt. He was an Ethiopian, his face was black and that is why he was called “Murin”. In his youth he was the slave of a noble man, but after he committed a murder, his master drove him away, and he joined a gang of robbers. For his stern disposition and great physical strength, he was chosen as the leader. Moses and his gang committed many atrocities - murders, robberies, so that everyone was afraid even of his name. The robber Moses spent several years in such a sinful life, but by the great mercy of God he repented, left the gang of robbers and went to one of the desert monasteries. Here he cried for a long time, asking to be accepted as one of the brethren. The monks did not believe his sincere repentance, but the former robber still begged not to drive him away until the brethren accepted him. In the monastery, the Monk Moses was in complete obedience to the abbot and the brethren; he shed many tears, mourning his sinful life. After some time, the Monk Moses went to a secluded cell, where he spent a harsh life in prayer and the strictest fasting. One day, the cell of the Monk Moses was attacked by 4 robbers from his former gang, but he, having not lost his enormous physical strength, tied them all up and, lifting them on his shoulders, brought them to the monastery, asking the elders what to do with the captives. The elders ordered to let them go. The robbers, having learned that they had ended up with their former leader, and he spared them, followed his example, repented and became monks. When the rest of the robbers heard about the repentance of the Monk Moses, they abandoned robbery and became zealous monks.
The Monk Moses did not quickly free himself from passions. He often came to the abbot of the monastery, Abba Isidore, asking for advice on how to get rid of fornication. The elder, experienced in spiritual warfare, taught him never to be satiated with food, to remain from hand to mouth, observing the strictest abstinence. Passion did not leave the Monk Moses in sleepy visions. Then Abba Isidore taught him all-night vigils. The monk stood all night in prayer, without bending his knees, so as not to fall asleep. From the long struggle, the Monk Moses became despondent, and when the thought arose of leaving his desert cell, Abba Isidore strengthened the spirit of the disciple. He showed him in a vision many demons in the west preparing for battle, and in the east an even greater number of holy Angels also preparing for battle. Abba Isidore reassured the Monk Moses that the power of Angels exceeds the power of demons, and he needed a long struggle with passions in order to be completely cleansed of his previous sins.
The Monk Moses undertook a new feat. Walking around deserted cells at night, he brought each brother water from the well. He especially tried for the elders who lived far from the well and were unable to bring water for themselves. One day, bending over a well, the Monk Moses felt a strong blow to his back and fell dead at the well, lying in this position until dawn. Thus the demons took revenge on the monk for his victory over them. In the morning the brethren brought him to his cell, and he lay in relaxation for a whole year. Having recovered, the monk with firm determination confessed to the abbot that he would continue to strive. But the Lord Himself put an end to this long-term struggle: Abba Isidore blessed the disciple and told him that his fornication had already left him. The elder told him to take communion of the Holy Mysteries and go in peace to his cell. From then on, the Monk Moses received from the Lord power over demons.
The fame of his exploits spread among the monks and beyond the desert. The ruler of the country wanted to see the saint. Having learned about this, the Monk Moses decided to hide from the visitors and left his cell. On the way, he met the ruler's servants, who asked him how to get to the cell of the hermit Moses. The monk answered them: “You shouldn’t go to this lying, unworthy monk.” The servants returned to the monastery, where the ruler was waiting for them, and conveyed to him the words of the elder they had met. The brethren, according to the description of the elder’s appearance, unanimously recognized him as the venerable Moses himself.
After spending many years in monastic endeavors, the Monk Moses was ordained a deacon. The bishop clothed him in white clothes and said: “Abba Moses is now all white.” The saint answered: “Master, what makes one clean - the external or the internal?” Out of humility, the monk considered himself internally unworthy to accept the rank of deacon. One day the bishop decided to test him and ordered the clergy to drive the deacon out of the altar, cursing him as an unworthy murin. The monk accepted dishonor with complete humility. Having tested him, the bishop ordained the monk a presbyter. In this rank, the Monk Moses labored for 15 years and gathered 75 disciples around him.
When the monk turned 75 years old, he warned his monks that robbers would soon attack the monastery and kill all the inhabitants. The saint blessed the monks to leave in advance to avoid violent death. The disciples began to ask the monk to leave with them, but he replied: “I have been waiting for many years for the time when the word of my Master, the Lord, will be fulfilled on me.” Jesus Christ, who said: “Everyone who accepts a knife will perish with a knife”" (Matthew 26:52). Then 7 brothers remained with the monk, one of whom, when the robbers approached, hid nearby. The robbers killed the Monk Moses and the six monks who remained with him. Their death followed around the year 400.
