Письмо XXXIX. Тому же
Machine translation from the original · Show original
You generously nourish, holy father, both our manifest and mental man. You supply the first with what supports bodily existence, but you give to the soul what is necessary for growth in the Spirit. After all, God has endowed you with abundance of both, blessing your entry and your journey (Ps. 121:8). By entry I mean the possession of the grace given to you by God, which you have multiplied by doing, and by outflow I mean the distribution of your mind to other people, producing, like fruit, the doing of what is proper - by those, of course, who have received your gift.
