DESCRIPTION:Mor Shalito\, an Aramaic name meaning “the One with Authorit
 y”\, was born into a pagan family in Egypt in the 4th century. In that t
 ime\, the Emperor Constantine I the Great (306-337) called on the gentiles
  to turn away from idols and to start worshipping the one living God. Shal
 ito was 15 years old when he renounced the idols\, left his father’s hou
 se and was baptized. He had been taught well in philosophical sciences. Af
 ter his baptism\, he began to study the Holy Scriptures day and night and 
 pray the Psalms.\n\nA Confessor Before Arian Rulers in Alexandria\nAt the 
 age of twenty years he entered a monastery in Alexandria where he was inst
 ructed under the guidance of Pope Athanasius the Great (* 295\; Pope: 328-
 373). When Shalito was 25 years old\, Pope Athanasius was exiled by the Ar
 ians. St. Shalito encouraged and strengthened the faithful not to deviate 
 from the true faith.\nA certain judge in Alexandria called Lularianus gave
  the order to bring Shalito before him. He questioned him about his faith.
  Shalito confessed his faith in the Father\, the Son\, and the Holy Spirit
 \, one true God\; Christ\, the Son of God\, is not a creature of God\, but
  consubstantial with Him\, born of the Virgin Mary Mother of God. Because 
 Shalito confessed this faith and did not deny\, the judge had him imprison
 ed to prevent him from convincing others of this faith. In prison\, he was
  tortured and tormented\, yet he remained true to the faith\, although Lul
 arianus promised him high ranks and honor on the Patriarchal See of Alexan
 dria. At night\, Shalito was strengthened by Christ\, raised and comforted
 . Then he began to teach the fellow prisoners about the true faith and to 
 warn them of the heresy of Arius who taught that Christ was a creature of 
 God. When the judge received the report that Shalito preaches in prison\, 
 he exiled him from Alexandria. Throughout Egypt\, the Saint made many disc
 iples and converted many pagans to the true faith.\n\nIn the Monastery of 
 St. Pachomius and Hermit\nOne day he came to a village of pagans outside o
 f Alexandria\, who mocked him when they realized that he was a Christian. 
 Suddenly\, one of them became afflicted by leprosy\, so that all were fill
 ed with fear and asked Shalito to heal him. He anointed the body of the af
 flicted one with consecrated oil\, and he was immediately healed. The vill
 agers came to the true faith and were baptized\, 532 in number. He instruc
 ted them in the history of salvation\, whereupon they collected their gold
  in great love and built three churches from it. The Saint went around in 
 that area\, preached and baptized innumerable people.\nHe was simple and h
 umble and a steadfast ascetic in fasting and prayer. In this asceticism he
  spent five years in the monastery of St. Pachomius. One day\, he cast out
  a demon from a possessed to whom the brothers did not dare to approach an
 d therefore asked Shalito for help. After this miracle they greatly honore
 d him.\nHe\, however\, so as not to fall into pride\, left the monastery a
 nd withdrew to a mountain where he lived for ten years in a crevice\, with
 out being seen by anybody. His food consisted of wild roots and shoots of 
 dates. In that deserted place he had to go through many fights against the
  Evil One. Satan could not bring the Saint to fall with his illusions\, be
 cause Shalito ashamed him by the sign of the cross. The hermit was often a
 ttacked and beaten by demons. But Christ never abandoned him\, strengtheni
 ng him through revelations and visions\, by which he was encouraged.\nOne 
 day he was concerned that the Arian heresy could spread in the world. Then
  he saw in the spirit a fire eating and destroying hay\, thorns\, and weed
 . He was given to understand that the thorns were the Arian and all the ot
 her heresies\, and the fire is the true faith of the holy apostolic Church
 .\n\nAmong the Discipleship of St. Augin in Mesopotamia\nThen he went to a
  monastery where many monks lived. After receiving a revelation that the g
 reat Saint Augin (+363) would come soon\, he chose from among the brothers
  seventy and said that he would go with them under the direction of Augin 
 to the East to Mesopotamia in order to stop deceptive heresies and to spre
 ad the Gospel of Christ. They all stood up with him and went forth to meet
  St. Augin. Also St. Augin himself explained to the 71 that he was about t
 o move to the East to spread the Good News of the Lord over there. They al
 l knelt\, prayed and marched up to Nisibis\, which lay on the border of th
 e Roman and the Persian Empire. They settled down in the Izlo Mountains (n
 ow Bagok in the south-east Turkey) where they built cells for themselves.\
 nAfter three years\, the bubonic plague spread in Nisibis which St. Shalit
 o caused to cease by his prayer. One of the most prestigious in Nisibis sa
 w in a dream that it was Shalito who had caused it to cease by his prayer.
  They brought all their sick and afflicted to him\, and he healed them of 
 their various diseases\, 1\,023 people.\n\nTogether With St. Jacob Bishop 
 of Nisibis\nAt that time the great Saint Mor Jacob was consecrated Bishop 
 of Nisibis (+338). This Saint visited Augin and his disciples on the Izlo 
 Mountains. Bishop Jacob revealed his project to St. Augin to have a church
  built in Nisibis\, and he was strengthened and encouraged therein. Both t
 ook also Shalito and prayed at the place where the church should stand. Th
 en an angel came from heaven to them who measured the church from one side
 \, Bishop Jacob from another\, Augin measured the third side\, and Shalito
  the fourth. The holy bishop had this church built\, and the Lord brought 
 it to completion.\n\nRaising a Dead\nSt. Jacob had another church built in
  the mountains of Qardu (Ararat-Mountains) where the ark of Noah had come 
 to rest. For the consecration of that church he took Mor Augin\, Mor Shali
 to and many other disciples to accompany him. On their way they came to a 
 thick forest where Shalito went to do his prayer. A young man ran towards 
 him\, wailing and crying\, because his brother had been eaten by a giant m
 onster. Mor Shalito began to pray\, caused the monster to spit out the chi
 ld\, cursed the monster\, so that it died immediately. He anointed the chi
 ld with holy oil\, and brought his dead body back to life. His brother ran
  into his village and made this great miracle known to all the villagers\,
  so that all ran to the Saint\, and asked him and his companions for their
  blessing. Those pagan villagers asked also to be baptized. Jacob of Nisib
 is baptized them all\, and they participated in the Holy Communion. Many o
 f those accompanied St. Jacob to the consecration of the Church. And the b
 oy which Mor Shalito had raised from the dead\, accompanied him and became
  his disciple. Augin called him “Ahee-Moreh”\, meaning “His Lord has
  Revived Him”.\n\nThe Ministry of the Hermit and Missionary by the Tigri
 s\nSince Shalito was being praised and honored among the disciples of Mor 
 Augin more and more\, he moved away one night to escape from vain glory. W
 hen he asked God in his prayer for a new place\, the Holy Spirit said to h
 im to move to Beth-Zabdai (now in the south-east Turkey)\, where he would 
 remain until the end of his earthly life. When he reached at the Tigris-Ri
 ver\, he made the sign of the cross on the river and crossed it on the wat
 er. He found a narrow cave on a mountain and dwelt there\, where he suffer
 ed much from the cold\, for it was snowing heavily there. Even the first t
 wo months he stayed without food.\nWhen Satan saw that Mor Shalito never t
 ired of doing good\, he entered an idol statue that was being worshiped in
  the neighboring village\, and spoke through the idol to the villagers tha
 t if they don’t beat up and drive away the man who lives on the mountain
 \, a disciple of the Nazarene\, he would destroy their village. So they al
 l started on their way in anger and beat St. Shalito half-dead. After they
  walked away\, the grace of God came down upon him and he recovered. That 
 night the angel of the Lord struck the whole village with the bubonic plag
 ue. One of them saw in a dream that the reason of the disease was that the
 y had committed an offense against the servant of God who had to pray for 
 them that the plague may cease. That man revealed his dream to all the vil
 lagers\, and full of repentance t
