End of Summer-Mother is Coming!

My mom is finally moving west from Pennsylvania. It will be a great honor to live close after so many years. May the Great Mother of God protect her on her journey and our new life together in Bozeman.

Neither the tomb nor death had power over the Theotokos who is ever watchful in her prayers and in whose intercession lies unfailing hope. For as the Mother of Life she has been transported into life by Him who dwelt within her ever virgin womb. (From the Kontakion from the Feast)
