Mo r Malke was born to Yuhannon &\; Rafka in Qulezmo (Egypt)\, a wealthy f amily who had only a daughter &\; waited years for a son. From a young age\, Malke was taught the true faith &\; he grew in wisdom. A very rel igious child\, at the age of 11 he desired to be a monk much to the dismay of his parents who wanted him to get married in the future. Malke left hi s grieving family &\; traveled to Tur Izlo (Mount Izlo) where he stayed at the Monastery of his maternal uncle Mor Augin. He became the disciple of Mor Augin &\; was later ordained priest by Mor Yac'ub of Nisbis. He went to Jerusalem\, then Egypt\, then returned to the Dayro d-Mor Augin. M alke later left to live in solitude\, he reached the village of Arkah. The re a child had fallen in to a pit leaving the townsfolk in despair. He pra yed at the site\, suddenly the child came out of the pit unharmed\, but wi th him was a demon. However\, seeing the power of Mor Malke\, the demon fl ed. St. Malke built a monastery on the location where God exiled the devil . Then he heard a voice from the heaven saying\, “Malke\, servant of God \, force out Astrasis &\; his demons. Put down the sign of the Cross &a mp\; it will protect you from evil.” The Holy One went down to the place where the devil abode &\; cast them out as the Lord commanded. The dem ons left complaining bitterly. St. Malke measured the place for an altar & amp\; carved a sign of the Cross on the stone. The villagers of Arkah came in great numbers to help build the Monastery. The devil had a crafty natu re. He went to Constantinople &\; took possession of Asanasis the daugh ter of King Constantine. The King was greatly sorrowful. He sent for St. M alke to come &\; heal his daughter because she said he was the only one who could heal her. The girl was brought before the saint &\; fell con vulsing on the ground. She turned black &\; writhed in agony biting her arms. St. Malke lifted his hands in prayer &\; asked for God for help. He told her to rise. When she stood up it was as if she had been sleeping a long time. The devil poured out of her in the form of a black smoke. St . Malke told him to go to the dung pile &\; sit on it. St. Malke then r emained in the court of the King &\; healed many people. The King offer ed him half the Kingdom if he would stay. But St. Malke refused &\; ins tead asked for a well &\; the stone collar that fit over the top of it. The king watched in stunned disbelief as St. Malke called out from hiding the devil\, Astrasis\, &\; commanded him to put on the stone collar ar ound his neck &\; the well on top of his head like a hat. They went off together with the saint pushing the devil in front of him like a donkey. When they arrived at the monastery the saint told the devil to put down th e well &\; he drove him away like a filthy dog.The community then finis hed the building of the monastery. Many monks came &\; lived there. St. Malke was full of love &\; mercy for all human beings. For the remaind er of his life he fought against evil. When death approached he gave a fin al benediction\, “My beloved\, always be merciful\, dedicate yourselves to fasting &\; prayer. Let truth\, love\, &\; peace be your merits f or all of your lives. Fight against evil with good." St. Malke left for th e Heavenly abode at the age of 93. He was entombed in the Beth Qadishe of Dayro d-Mor Malke\, Tur Izlo Turkey. Oh Mor Malke! Plead for us before God 's throne of grace. Amen. Syriac prayers in honour of Mor Malke: https:// tinyurl.com/2pzn76eyhttp://www.soc-wus.org/ourchurch/St.%20Malke.htmParis 146 and Vat.
