[[Image:Melane the Roman.jpg|right|frame|Melane the RomanSfânta Melania Romana]]Our venerable Mother Cuvioasa maica noastră '''Melania the YoungerRomana''' (or numită şi '''Melania cea Mică''Melane the Roman'sau '' - 'Melania cea Tânără''') a trăit în timpul împăratului Honoriu, fiul lui [[feastdayTeodosie cel Mare]]: , în jurul anului 400. [[December 31Prăznuire]]) lived during the reign of king Honorios, son of a ei se face la [[Theodosius the Great (emperor)|Theodosios the Great31 decembrie]], in 400. ==Viaţa==She came from a rich and glorious family. Her grandmother is also commemorated as a saint: Melania the Righteous ([[June 8]]). Because she loved the [[Christ|Lord]] with her whole heart, she chose to remain a virgin. But her parents forced her to get married even unwillingly with a man and she became the mother of two children. Then her parents and children died. That is why this blessed woman left the city of Rome and was living at her farm with every [[ascetic]] practice and [[Virtues|virtue]]. She used to take care of the sick, received the foreigners who came to her, and visited the imprisoned and the exiled. Then she sold all her estates and possessions, which were many, and collected 120,000 gold coins, which she distributed to [[church]]es and [[Monastery|monasteries]].
In the beginning she used to eat once every couple of days but later on she used to [[Fasting|fast]] five days per week and she would only eat on Saturdays and Sundays. So, this [[saint]] of blessed memory got used to and was trained in every ascetic practice with a lot of knowledge and discretion. She also used to write with a calligraphic hand in a very nice and artistic way.
Then she went to Africa and, after she had spent seven years there distributing most of her wealth, she went to [[Alexandria]] and from there to [[Jerusalem]]. There she closed herself in a cell and with her example she attracted ninety virgins and [[nun]]s to this same zeal for asceticism. She used to provide for their daily needs unceasingly. Because she was overcome by the pain of the side, she got very sick and, after she had called the [[bishop]] of Eleutheroupolis, she received from him the [[Eucharist]]. Then she bid all the sisters farewell, and lastly uttered these words of [[Job]]: "As the Lord wishes, so let it be." And in this way she immediately commended her soul to the hands of [[God]].

:In your fervent desire for the angelic life,
:You renounced the comforts of this earth.
:Leading them to the Master and Savior of our souls.
:You tread to the end of the path of virtue and were betrothed to God the Word.
:You rejoiced in the contest, O Anysia;
:And now we ask you to implore Christ the Lord that he may be gracious to us!
[[KontakionCondac]] (Tone Glas 4)
:Your soul radiated light from the One born for us of the Virgin,
:And you shone with virtues, O saint worthy of all praise.
:Therefore, O holy Melania, we honor you with love.
:Like a lamp with two flames you illumine Christ’s Church
:With mystical radiance.
:You were found worthy of the incorruptible life of the blessed!
