St. Moses (d. 372) was a hermit (a person living in solitude as a religious discipline) and he is often called as the "Apostle of the Saracens" (Saracens were people who lived in the desert near Rome and Egypt). St. Moses lived in the deserts of Syria and Egypt taking care of the nomadic people in the desert. When Romans imposed peace with the Queen of the Saracens they demanded that Moses be bishop. Moses did not want to be bishop, but he accepted this role to keep the peace between Saracens and Romans
St. Moses help us with the grace to accept the tasks we do not want to do graciously with love.
