Saint Moses the Ethiopian lived in Egypt during the fourth century.
He was an Ethiopian, and since he was black of skin he was called
“Murin” (meaning “like an Ethiopian”). In his youth he was the slave
of an important man, but after he committed a
murder, his master banished him, and he joined
a band of robbers. Because of his bad character
and great physical strength, they chose him as
their leader. Moses and his band of thieves
were feared because of their many evil
exploits, including murders and robberies.
People trembled at the mere mention of his
name. Moses the brigand spent several years
leading a sinful life, but through the great
mercy of God he repented, left his band of
robbers and went to one of the desert monasteries. Here he wept for a
long time, begging to be admitted as one of the brethren. The monks
were not convinced of the sincerity of his repentance, but the former
robber would neither be driven away nor silenced. He begged that they
accept him. read more about him here >
Abba Moses said: "The man who flees from the evils of the world
is like ripe grapes; ut he ho ell a on the attractions of the children
of men is like sour grapes."
