Title
- Dabra Zamaddo's righteous Walda hawaryat whom the Blessed Virgin comforted.
Description
There was a monk named Walda Hawaryat, who came from Dabra Libanos but now lived in Dabra Zamaddo. He was a good Christian, and he understood the scriptures well. One day, he went to the chapel of the icon of Mary to grieve the crucifixion of her son. Whenever Walda Hawaryat thought of the crucifixion he would grow weak, and tears would stream from his eyes. One day Mary visited Walda Hawaryat while he was in such a state, and she asked him why he shed so many tears. He told her it happened whenever he thought about the Son of God’s suffering. Mary responded: “Was my son crucified for you only? Was he not crucified for the whole world?” Then she left.
