Psalm 34:17-19

The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; He delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all;

Quote

From the life of Tamav Irene

One day, early in the morning, I went to the kitchen. I filled the stove with kerosene and lit it up. The kerosene tank was next to it. When I tried to make the fire stronger, the flame rose higher and in a moment the tank caught fire. I was in a corner and to get out of the kitchen I had to cross over the fire. The flames grew higher and higher and were about to reach the wooden ceiling. With faith, I cried:

“Help me, O God of Abu Seifein… Help me, God’s martyr and take care of your convent”

Immediately, I saw the martyr before me making the sign of the cross towards the fire and at once it was extinguished. I was very happy that the convent was saved and thanked God and His martyr.

When I told the mother superior about it, she said: “The sad one (meaning the devil) is constantly trying to fight you.”
