"When we ask for God's help, He reaches out to us," emphasized Sunday the Reverend Father Andrei, Bishop of Covasna and Harghita, at the Sihăstria Râșcai Monastery in Suceava county.

Reverend Father Andrei explained that the Savior calls people not to be overcome by fear, but to remain steadfast in faith.

His Eminence revealed that the Holy Apostle Peter walked on water as long as he kept his eyes fixed on Christ, but began to sink when he looked at the wind and the waves.

"When you look at God, you are not afraid of anything. When he looked at God, he was not afraid of water or wind," emphasized the Bishop of Covasna and Harghita.

At the end, the hierarch urged the faithful to live the Fast of the Dormition of the Mother of God in prayer, hope and peace.
