Byzantine Saints: Venerable Moses the Hungarian of the Kiev Near Caves (26 July)

About this sermon

St. Moses the Hungarian (Moses of the Kiev Caves) endured captivity, torture, humiliation, and unimaginable suffering rather than betray Christ or surrender his vow of purity. Born in Hungary and serving the holy Prince Boris, Moses survived political upheaval only to become a prisoner in Poland. There, a wealthy widow attempted to force him into marriage through wealth, seduction, and horrific torture. Despite daily beatings, starvation, and even mutilation, St. Moses remained steadfast, choosing the eternal riches of Christ over every earthly pleasure. After finally reaching the Monastery of the Kiev Caves, he spent the remainder of his life in prayer, asceticism, and helping others overcome temptations of the flesh through God's grace. His remarkable witness reminds Christians that true freedom is found not in satisfying every desire, but in complete surrender to Jesus Christ. 00:00 - Introduction 00:27 - Moses, Brother of St. Ephraim 00:44 - Escape After the Murder of St. Boris 00:53 - Captured During the Polish Invasion 01:01 - The Wealthy Widow's Obsession 01:18 - Moses Refuses Marriage 01:41 - Choosing Heavenly Riches 01:50 - Secret Monastic Tonsure 02:06 - Brutal Torture for Christ 02:18 - Forced Temptation and His Refusal 02:36 - Daily Beatings and Mutilation 02:41 - Death of King Bolesław 02:56 - Return to the Kiev Caves 03:03 - Gift of Helping Others Overcome Temptation 03:18 - Counsel for Purity 03:33 - Miraculous Healing from Passion 03:40 - Final Years of Holiness 03:49 - Death and Lasting Legacy 03:57 - His Relics and Continuing Intercession https://www.oca.org/saints/lives 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
