"When a man walks in the fear of God he knows no fear, even if he were to
be surrounded by wicked men. He has the fear of God within him and wears
the invincible armor of faith. This makes him strong and able to take on
anything, even things which seem difficult or impossible to most people.
Such a man is like a giant surrounded by monkeys, or a roaring lion among
dogs and foxes. He goes forward trusting in the Lord and the constancy of
his will to strike and paralyze his foes. He wields the blazing club of the
Word in wisdom."

St. Symeon the New Theologian, The Practical and Theological Chapters.

"For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a
building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." 2
Corinthians 5:1

The Bible reading for the 28th of Baunah, July 5, is:
1 Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the
door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2 But
he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the
doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep
by name and leads them out. 4 And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes
before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. 5 Yet they
will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not
know the voice of strangers. 6 Jesus used this illustration, but they did
not understand the things which He spoke to them. 7 Then Jesus said to them
again, Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All who
ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear
them. 9 I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will
go in and out and find pasture. 10 The thief does not come except to steal,
and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that
they may have it more abundantly. 11 I am the good shepherd. The good
shepherd gives His life for the sheep. 12 But a hireling, he who is not the
shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves
the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them. 13
The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the
sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My
own. 15 As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down
My life for the sheep. 16 And other sheep I have which are not of this
fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will
be one flock and one shepherd. (John 10:1-16)
Departure of St. Theodosius, 33rd Pope of Alexandria.
