amazon.com

J'ai trouvé ce livre par hasard parce que le prénom de ma petite fille peut -être souhaité le jour de la Saint Silouane le 24 septembre
Ce starets Silouane né en en 1866 et décédé en 1938 a été canonisé en 1987 par l'église orthodoxe russe, simple moine, merveilleux moine "rempli de douceur" écrira Nicolas Vélimirolitch.. Les illustrations de Gaëtan Evrad faites à partir de documents de monastères sont magnifiques, très douces dans leurs coloris et formes;
C'est son histoire racontée en BD Il vit dans une famille pauvre paysanne mais croyante. Il a 4 frères et 2 sœurs et à l'âge de 4 ans lors de la visite d'un marchand il dit" quand je serai grand, j'irai chercher Dieu par toute la terre". Le temps passe il oublie cette parole. Il vit comme beaucoup, il est fort, un jour où il a un peu trop bu il se bat violemment. Un jour il fit un étrange rêve, il a entendu la voix de Marie.
Il changea de vie, il appris que Dieu pouvait pardonné même à un meurtrier ( il venait d'en rencontré un qui avait été pardonné par Dieu de son crime). Devenir moine lui revint en force. Il fit six années de service militaire . Il fut très estimé pendant son service militaire...je vous laisse découvrir la suite... IL a été canonisé en 1987 et présenté comme docteur apostolitique et prophétique de l'eglise et du peuple chrétien.

I found this book by chance because the name of my little daughter can be desired on the day of Saint Silouane on September 24
This starets Silouane born in 1866 and died in 1938 was canonized in 1987 by the Russian Orthodox Church, simple monk, wonderful monk “filled with sweetness” will write Nicolas Vélimirolitch...

The illustrations of Gaëtan Evrad made from monastery documents are magnificent, very soft in their colors and shapes; It is his story told in comic book He lives in a poor peasant but believing family. He has 4 brothers and 2 sisters and at the age of 4 when visiting a merchant he says “when I grow up, I will go to seek God all over the earth”. 

Time passes, he forgets that word. He lives like many, he's strong, a day when he drank a little too much he fights violently. One day he had a strange dream, he heard the voice of Mary. He changed his life, learned that God could forgive even a murderer (he had just met one who had been forgiven by God for his crime. Becoming a monk returned to him in strength. He had six years of military service. He was very esteemed during his military service... I let you discover the rest... He was canonized in 1987 and presented as apostolitic and prophetic doctor of the Church and the Christian people

The Nativity of Theotokos (September 8), a day of universal joy

Orthodox Metropolis of Zambia and Malawi
 
The Nativity of Our Most Holy Lady Theotokos and Ever Virgin Mary: The Most Holy Virgin Mary was born at a time when people had reached such a degree of moral decay that it seemed altogether impossible to restore them. People often said that God must come into the world to restore faith and not permit the ruin of mankind.
The Son of God chose to take on human nature for the salvation of mankind, and chose as His Mother the All-Pure Virgin Mary, who alone was worthy to give birth to the Source of purity and holiness.
The Nativity of Our Most Holy Lady Theotokos and Ever Virgin Mary is celebrated by the Church as a day of universal joy. Within the context of the Old and the New Testaments, the Most Blessed Virgin Mary was born on this radiant day, having been chosen before the ages by Divine Providence to bring about the Mystery of the Incarnation of the Word of God. She is revealed as the Mother of the Savior of the World, Our Lord Jesus Christ.

The Most Holy Virgin Mary was born in the small city of Galilee, Nazareth. Her parents were Righteous Joachim of the tribe of the Prophet-King David, and Anna from the tribe of the First Priest Aaron. The couple was without child, since Saint Anna was barren.
Having reached old age, Joachim and Anna did not lose hope in God’s mercy. They had strong faith that for God everything is possible, and that He would be able to overcome the barrenness of Anna even in her old age, as He had once overcame the barrenness of Sarah, spouse of the Patriarch Abraham. Saints Joachim and Anna vowed to dedicate the child which the Lord might give them, to the service of God in the Temple.
Childlessness was considered among the Hebrew nation as a Divine punishment for sin, and therefore the righteous Saints Joachim and Anna had to endure abuse from their own countrymen. On one of the feastdays at the Temple in Jerusalem the elderly Joachim brought his sacrifice to offer to God, but the High Priest would not accept it, considering him to be unworthy since he was childless.

Saint Joachim in deep grief went into the wilderness, and there he prayed with tears to the Lord for a child. Saint Anna wept bitterly when she learned what had happened at the Jerusalem Temple. Never once did she complain against the Lord, but rather she prayed to ask God’s mercy on her family.
The Lord fulfilled her petitions when the pious couple had attained to extreme old age and prepared themselves by virtuous life for a sublime calling: to be the parents of the Most Holy Virgin Mary, the future Mother of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Archangel Gabriel brought Joachim and Anna the joyous message that their prayers were heard by God, and of them would be born a most blessed daughter Mary, through Whom would come the Salvation of all the World.
The Most Holy Virgin Mary surpassed in purity and virtue not only all mankind, but also the angels. She was manifest as the living Temple of God, so the Church sings in its festal hymns: “the East Gate... bringing Christ into the world for the salvation of our souls” (2nd Stikhera on “Lord, I Have Cried”, Tone 6).
The Nativity of the Theotokos marks the change of the times when the great and comforting promises of God for the salvation of the human race from slavery to the devil are about to be fulfilled. This event has brought to earth the grace of the Kingdom of God, a Kingdom of Truth, piety, virtue and everlasting life. The Theotokos is revealed to all of us by grace as a merciful Intercessor and Mother, to Whom we have recourse with filial devotion.

Hymns (from here)

Troparion — Tone 4 Your Nativity, O Virgin, / Has proclaimed joy to the whole universe! / The Sun of Righteousness, Christ our God, / Has shone from You, O Theotokos! / By annulling the curse, / He bestowed a blessing. / By destroying death, He has granted us eternal Life.

 

Kontakion — Tone 4 By Your Nativity, O Most Pure Virgin, / Joachim and Anna are freed from barrenness; / Adam and Eve, from the corruption of death. / And we, your people, freed from the guilt of sin, celebrate and sing to you: / The barren woman gives birth to the Theotokos, the nourisher of our life!
