The Nakhimov regional court in Sevastopol has sentenced a hermit who is a citizen of Georgia to thirteen years in a strict penal colony for a murder committed twenty years ago, according to Interfax-Religion.

A press release from the court notes that the maximum penalty for murder in 1997 was fifteen years, thus the court sentenced him to thirteen years of imprisonment.

The citizen of Georgia strangled a Sevastopol resident, having learned of his plans to open his own business. He then ransacked his apartment, but found only 100 Hyrvnia (about $53 at the time) and a television which he sold for fifty Hyrvnia (about $26 at the time).

He was imprisoned in Kherson but managed to escape and flee to Georgia, where he became a hermit in a monastery. In May 2016 he traveled to Krasnodar Krai to buy supplies for the monastery. He was stopped for inspection by the police and when they ran his fingerprints they realized he was a wanted man.

His sentence has not yet begun.

St. Philaret left a voluminous inheritance of what can be truly called patristic works. He also composed prayers, one of which has become for many a part of many people’s morning prayers. It is a prayer not for what we want, but for what God wills—that He would always be before us, working in us His Holy will.

There were many leaders of radical teenage gangs—they are the ones who would eventually attend every class. They could not understand what was happening to them; I had to call them for individual discussions, to explain, and there were often disputes in the groups on this subject. Later many were baptized and escaped from their former demonic state.

There isn’t an Orthodox church in Russia that does not have an icon of St. Nicholas. His image appears also on the wall of a church that was once the main cathedral of the St. Kirill of Novozersk (New Lake) Monastery on Ognenny (Fiery) Island in Novozersk (Belozersk region). The Monastery has long been occupied by a penal colony, and in 1990 they began sending here those who have been given life sentences.
