Faith under Fire
We all know in our heads that God is always present, always watching over us, always
wanting to be part of everything we do. But it is one thing to know this in our heads, and
quite another to know it in our hearts, with a mature faith. When the Christians in Armenia
were suffering persecution from Turkish conquerors, back in the eleventh century, there
were many opportunities to move faith from the head to the heart.
There is one story about a Christian girl who had been captured in a raid. They tried to
force her to renounce her Christian faith, but she refused, even in the face of their threats
and their weapons. So, instead of making her a slave, the pagan soldiers decided to play a
cruel game with her by throwing her to their battle dogs. They put her in the kennel that
night, and came back in the morning to see what had happened. They couldn't believe their
eyes. In the bright light of dawn they saw the young girl kneeling in prayer, with the largest
and most savage of all the dogs standing right next to her. That dog snapped at every other
dog that tried to come near the child. The pagan soldiers were terrified by the sight and ran
away, crying out at the top of their lungs, "There is a God here! There is a God here!" And
they were right - God was with that child, walking by her side.
During the persecution in China in the early 1900s, a group of Christians were holding
a prayer meeting, something that local officials had forbidden. In the middle of their
gathering, the door swung open and two soldiers with drawn guns burst in. The frightened
Christians stood with raised hands as the soldiers took down their names. They checked the
list twice and confirmed that they had marked down all twelve names, but then an old man
spoke up and said, "Actually, there are 13 people here." The soldiers counted again, but
could only find 12. "Who is the thirteenth?" They demanded to know. "God is here with us,"
the old man said calmly.
World Youth Day 2013: The Alexandria-Cornwall Diocese is organizing a
delegation for World Youth Day. The dates are from July 17 to 30th, 2013 in

Week and large gatherings and activities in Rio with the Pope. The cost of the
package is presently estimated between $2,500 and $2,800 (including flight,
insurance, registration, most meals, lodging with families or school settings).

between 17 (you must be 18 at the moment of departure for W.Y.D.) and

email, [email protected].
