Do not be afraidDo not be afraidDo not be afraidDo not be afraidWalking on water. You remember
the story, dont you? In the middle ofa bad storm on the sea, Jesuss disciplesmust have thought they were all going to
drown.
But then suddenly, they see the Lord walking
on the water, coming towards them. They
couldnt believe it, so they thought He was aghost! They were terrified. Terrified first be-
cause of the storm. Now, they were terrified
because a ghost was coming towards them!
But of course, it wasnt a ghost! It was Christ,
coming to save them. Do not be afraid, or
Have courage, He says to them.
In another part of the Bible, in the Gospel of St. John, we
words. In the world, you will have trouble, it says. But
or Have courage, I have overcome the world.
So whenever you are afraid, remember these words. Our
Christ, comes to us all the time to give us courage. He comstrong. Have courage. Do not be afraid, because Jesus is w

Can you find the three
stars on the icon of the

This means she was al-
ways pure. She was pure
before, during, and after
she had baby Jesus.

WHAT DOES INTERCEDE AND WHY DO WE NEED IT?
Have you ever tried to help a two
year old do something? He usually
ends up saying, I want to do it by my-
self!
Sometimes we sound like that, too! We wantto do things all by ourselves. We want to do
big things, important things, hard things. But
we dont want help. We want to do it all by
ourselves.
For the first two weeks of August, we try
hard to remember that we have a helper who
is looking out for us. The Theotokos, the
Mother of God, is our helper. During the spe-
cial church services, we say again and again, Most Holy T
tercede for us or Pray for us. We want her to ask her S
Mary, the Theotokos, is so close to her Son in Heaven. Shrelationship with Him, and He listens especially to her. W
Him for something, He listens. So, when she intercedes,
persuade Him to do something for us.
Lets not be like a two year old! Its better to ask for help,
it is from the holy Theotokos!
We celebrate the feastday of the Dormition on Friday,
