Venerable Paphnutius Borovsky, abbot
Venerable Paphnutius Borovsky was born in 1394 in the village of Kudinov, not far from Borovsk, and was named Parthenius at Epiphany. His father John was the son of a baptized Tatar-Baskak Martin, his mother Parthenia bore the name Photinia. At the age of 20, Parfeniy left his parental home and in 1414 took monastic vows with the name Paphnutius at the Intercession Monastery on Vysokoye from Abbot Markellus. The monk Paphnutius labored in the monastery for many years. When the abbot of the monastery died, the brethren elected him abbot. Saint Photius, Metropolitan of Kiev, ordained the monk to the priesthood (about 1426). The monk spent thirty years at the Intercession Monastery, where he was both rector and elder confessor. At the 51st year of his life, he became seriously ill, left his abbess and accepted the great schema. After recovery, on the day of the Holy Great Martyr George the Victorious, April 23, 1444, he left the monastery and settled with one monk on the left bank of the Protva River at the confluence of the Isterma River. Soon the brethren began to gather at his new place. The number of monks grew rapidly. A new stone church was built instead of the previous wooden one in honor of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The best icon painter of that time, Dionysius, and his assistants took part in the painting of the temple. The Monk Paphnutius set an example for the brethren, leading a strict life: his cell was the poorest of all, and he took the worst food from food. On Monday and Friday I didn’t eat at all, but on Wednesday I kept to dry eating. Of the general tasks, the monk chose the most difficult ones: he chopped and carried firewood, dug and watered the garden, and at the same time was the first to come to church services.
The Monk Paphnutius enjoyed deep love and veneration not only from the brethren of his monastery, but also from other monasteries. By the providence of God, a twenty-year-old young man, John Sanin, was sent to the monastery to the monk. Having tested the newcomer, the monk tonsured him into monasticism with the name Joseph. Subsequently, the Monk Joseph of Volotsky, who firmly preserved the purity of the Orthodox faith, led the fight against the heresy of the Judaizers, condemned at the Council of 1504. The Monk Paphnutius blessed the young monk for this feat.
A week before his death, the monk predicted his death. Having fulfilled the last prayer and blessed the brethren, he departed to God on May 1, 1477. The Monk Paphnutius was a follower of the Monk Sergius, abbot of Radonezh.

Therefore, we pray to you, Father Paphnutius, pray to Christ God to save our souls.

Reading the Gospel with the Church
The Holy Church reads the Gospel of John. Chapter 6, Art. 27-33.
27 Do not strive for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you, for He has sealed Him. My Father, God.
28 So they said to Him: What must we do to do the works of God?
29 Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”
30 To this they said to Him: What sign will You give, so that we may see and believe You? What are you doing?
31 Our fathers ate manna in the wilderness, as it is written: He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven.”
33 For the bread of God is the one that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.
(John chapter 6, 27-33.)
