Ninth Sunday after Pentecost; Octoechos Tone 8;The Holy Hieromartyr Hermolaus and those with him; The Holy Venerable Woman-Martyr Parasceve. 1 Corinthians 3:9-17; Matthew 14:22-34.
1 Corinthians 3:9-17
For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.According to the commission of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and another man is building upon it. Let each man take care how he builds upon it. For no other foundation can any one lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any one builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble— each man’s work will become manifest; for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. If the work which any man has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. If any man’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.
Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? If any one destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, and that temple you are.
Matthew 14:22-34
Jesus Walks on the WaterThen he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up into the hills by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, but the boat by this time was many furlongs distant from the land, beaten by the waves; for the wind was against them. And in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea. But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, saying, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out for fear. But immediately he spoke to them, saying, “Take heart, it is I; have no fear.”And Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, bid me come to you on the water.” He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus; but when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.” Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, “O man of little faith, why did you doubt?” And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”

What About Critical Race Theory, BLM, “Equity”...?
"Today racism has not disappeared. There are even troubling new manifestations of it”. (The Church and Racism, 8)The Church is “concerned with preventing victims from having recourse to violent struggle and thus falling into a racism similar to that which they are rejecting." (The Church and Racism, 27)
"If, in fact, race defines a human group…racist behavior, can be applied…to all persons”. (The Church and Racism, 8)
“No foundation therefore remains for any theory or practice that leads to discrimination". (Pope St. Paul VI, 5)
READ MORE"Acts of discrimination...must be denounced and brought to light without hesitation and strongly rejected". (The Church and Racism, 26)
“The victims of racism, wherever they may be, must be defended." (The Church and Racism, 26)
"None but superficial minds could…attempt to lock within the…narrow limits of a single race". (Pope Pius XI, 10)
The official publication of Catholic Near East Welfare Association -
Pope Pius XI founded Catholic Near East Welfare Association in 1926 as an instrument of love and a sign of hope for those in need scattered throughout the historic but unstable lands of the ancient Eastern churches — the Middle East, Northeast Africa, India and Eastern Europe.
For a century, CNEWA has walked side by side with those in need. We prayed with them when they were attacked, comforted them when they grieved, fed them when they hungered, bandaged them when they bled, sheltered them when they had no place to call home. We have been there, always, through the arms of the living body of Christ, the church, as they live for others, counseling the despondent, caring for the sick, feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, sheltering the homeless, teaching the eager and forming the next generation of leaders.CNEWA is a worldwide network of generous and compassionate people, committed to living Jesus’ great command to “love one another” by reaching out to their neighbors in need, regardless of where or whom their neighbor may be.
This network links our generous donors with the laity, priests, sisters and bishops of the local churches — CNEWA’s “boots on the ground” — who receive our help and touch countless lives in incalculable ways in Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, India, Armenia, Georgia and Ukraine.
