托玛斯生活于玛弗里基和福卡斯在位期间,当时正是斋戒者圣约安和西里亚卡担任牧首时期。由于托玛斯对信仰的敬畏和热忱,引起了牧首圣约安的注意,并被他提升为牧首副手。西里亚卡去世后,托玛斯被选为牧首。当时发生了一次非同小可的事件。在一次十字架巡游的过程中,这些十字架开始自己摆动,并开始相互碰撞。所有的人都为此感到震惊。当牧首得知这一事情时,将德奥多若·斯克昂请来,因为他是一位著名的具有“悟察恩典”的隐士。牧首请求德奥多若向他解释这个事件预示着什么。德奥多若向上帝祷告,之后解释给牧首说,这是凶兆的象征,不仅对教会,对希腊帝国也是如此,因为内部政教的不和,从而导致了基督徒之间的互相残杀。结果,事过不久就应验了。托玛斯请求德奥多若向上帝祷告,希望在这惨剧出现之前上帝能够接他返回天家。德奥多若问托玛斯说:“你的意思就是说,我随你而后,我们在上帝面前相会吗?”这就是德奥多若对牧首的回答,这表明了牧首在不久的将来就会离世。就在同一天,牧首托玛斯病倒了,不久便离世而去。他去世后不久,德奥多若也随他而去。圣托玛斯于公元610年得以进入基督的国都。 If you like our project and you are satisfied with our work and effort, please consider making a donation that would help us to survive on the Internet and in further development of the project.
