Mémoire du miracle accompli par l'Archange Michel à Colosses en Phrygie (vers la fin du IIème siècle). (Office traduit en français par le père Denis Guillaume au tome IX des Ménées.)

Ben prima dell´incarnazione di Cristo, l´Arcangelo Michele dimostrò nella pratica il suo interesse e la benevolenza per il genere umano, e dopo la venuta nel mondo del Salvatore, i segni del suo amore per i cristiani, si fecero ancora più grandi. L´Apostolo Giovanni, essendosi trovato in Frigia ad annunciare il Vangelo, profetizzò una nuova visita del principe degli Arcangeli Michele, in un luogo chiamato Chérétope. Difatti, nei giorni seguenti, zampillò miracolosamente dal terreno una sorgente che guariva tutte le malattie. Un fedele, la cui figlia era stata guarita dall´acqua della sorgente, fece costruire in quel luogo, in segno di riconoscenza, una piccola chiesa dedicata all´Arcangelo Michele. Novant´anni dopo, venne a stabilirsi un giovane di nome Archippo, nativo di Ierapoli, affinché potesse praticare l´ascesi e servire in qualità di sacrestano. Lo zelo e l´amore di Dio erano in lui così grandi che presto acquisì il potere dei miracoli. Alla vista di tali prodigi di tali grazie che abbondavano in virtù della sorgente miracolosa, il diavolo, furioso, satenò l´invidia dei pagani. Dopo aver ripetutamente insultato e colpito il giovane Archippo, una notte cercarono di otturare la sorgente ma invano perché il santo Arcangelo Michele era invisibilmente presente per impedire che ciò avvenisse. Tuttavia, i pagani non si scoraggiarono e tentarono di deviare il corso dell´acqua perché inondasse la chiesa e i fedeli che vi pregavano; ma l´impresa fallì. Ancora una volta deviarono il corso di due piccoli torrenti che scorrevano al di sopra della chiesa: per questo costruirono una diga e si prepararono a romperla per far travolgere la chiesa dalle acque. Ma l´Arcangelo Michele apparve ad Archippo, lo rassicurò, e come una colonna di fuoco, si pose davanti alle acque furiose che discendevano dalla collina. Nel momento in cui le acque giunsero in prossimità dell´Arcangelo, questo colpì con lo scettro una pietra e, nella roccia, si aprì una voragine che, come una gola naturale, lasciò passare l´acqua, salvando così la chiesa. Questo luogo fu, per questo motivo, chiamato "cratere", per la gloria di Dio e in onore del nostro protettore il Santo Arcangelo Michele.

Troparion (Tone 4)
Michael Prince of the armies of heaven, thou didst over-shadow the Church like a cloud raining waters of immortality. Thou didst preserve it as another ark and turn rivers aside with thy spear, to the glory of the Faith and the rejoicing of the faithful

There was a miraculous spring near Hierapolis in Phrygia. It had come forth after a prophecy at that place by St. John the Theologian and St. Philip the Apostle that a healing spring would be there and that Archangel Michael would appear there. Soon after the spring gushed forth. many came to be healed. A wealthy pagan in Laodicea had a mute daughter. Michael urged him in a dream to take his daughter to this spring. When he arrived there, he found a large gathering of Christian people. He asked how she should be healed. They told him: "In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, you must beg the Archangel Michael." He did this and dipped his daughter in the water and she was healed. They were both baptized and discipled in the Faith, along with his whole household. He had St. Michael's Church built over the spring. Later, Archippus settled there, as a young man. The pagans in the region did not like such power from a Christian holy place and the pilgrims it attracted. They constructed a dike to alter the course of a river to flood the church and the spring. But Archippus prayed. The Archangel Michael appeared and opened a fissure in the rock a the end of the church. The river plunged through that rock and the church & spring were saved. That is how the place got its name; Chonae means plunging. St. Archippus lived peacably in asceticism there until the age of 70 and reposed in the Lord.

Saint MAXIME SANDOVITCH, prêtre, martyr par la main des Catholiques-Romains sous François-Joseph Ier (Ruthénie subcarpathique 1914).

Il naquit en Ruthénie, entre la Pologne et la Slovaquie, dans cette région alors rattachée à l'empire austro-hongrois. Gréco-catholique par sa famille, il entra dans un monastère de sa région natale, mais déçu par la vie de ces moines, il se tourna vers l'Orthodoxie et entra au monastère de Potchaev en Ukraine occidentale. Le métropolite de Kiev le remarqua et l'ordonna prêtre pour desservir les communautés orthodoxes issues du catholicisme. Il fut arrêté et emprisonné à Lvov pour avoir célébré dans une Eglise interdite par la loi, accusé de collaborer avec les Russes ennemis des Autrichiens. Après deux ans d'un dur emprisonnement, il fut libéré, mais lorsqu'éclata la première guerre mondiale, il fut à nouveau arrêté et fusillé sur le  champ.

St. Maxim was born in the village of Zhdynia, Galicia. It was under the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but it had been part of the Ukraine. The Austro-Hungarians did all they could to root out any sympathy for Russia. They further latinized the uniate liturgy and they viewed all Orthodox as Russian conspirators. Maxim's parents, Timko & Christina, were devout people. They saw to it that Maxim received a good education, but they could not afford much. His father arranged for him to stay in the Russian Dormitory provided for poor students at the high school in Nowy Sacz. There Maxim learned Russian history and the history of the Church. But he realized that this school was still too expensive for his family, so after his first year, he transfered to the uniate school run by Basilian monks. He found their teachings and their way of life repugnant. He left after a few weeks. He found his way across the border to Russia and entered the Lavra at Pochaev. From there, Archbishop Anthony Khrapovitsky sent him to the Orthodox seminary at Zhitomir in 1905. He graduated in 1910. When he visited his home for Pascha and Bright Week, the people of the area were excited to have an Orthodox seminary graduate in their midst. Some who had grown up in the unia, had traveled to America and had made their confessions to Orthodox priests there. They urged Maxim to seek ordination and return to Hrab and start an Orthodox Church. He promised them he would. The following year he was married and ordained. When he and his wife arrived in town, his appearance caused an uproar. The uniate clergy mocked him for his beard, long hair and riassa, saying, "Look! St. Nicholas has come to the Carpathians!" The church grew and flourished to the point that crowds stood around the windows outside to catch a glimpse and to join in the services. He was repeatedly arrested and harrassed on false charges. The uniate clergy had him and several parishioners arrested for burning candles in church. He was arrested in 1912 for capital espionage along with a priest in a neighboring town when he went there to make his confession. They were held for two years. They were finally brought to trial and found innocent. He was released on June 6, 1914, and he returned to Hrab. He was only able to minister a short time, when he was arrested again; this time, with his pregnant wife and his father, on August 4, (three days after Austria-Hungary had declared war on Russia).They were all kept in one cell until 5am on the 6th when Timko and Mrs. Sandovich were moved to a cell with a window facing the street. They then took Maxim out, blindfolded. Placed him with his back against the wall. He knew this was the end and he said: "Lord bless." Just before the order to shoot was given, he shouted: "Long live Orthodox Rus!" Two men shot him from six paces away. His body did not fall over as it was leaning against the wall so one of the soldiers went over to him and shot him three times in the head with his revolver. St. Maxim's son, Maxim, later returned and pastored a thriving Orthodox community there
