125. Ропот губит венцы
Machine translation from the original · Show original
I received your letters and I am praying for you. You probably forgot about eternal peace in the Kingdom of Heaven, and those who endured to the end will endlessly enjoy that peace, for only one can enter there through many sorrows. Or you never remember how the Savior, the Mother of God and all the saints lived and endured. Why do you grumble unreasonably and thereby ruin your crowns? Or do you not believe in a future life? Don’t look at how rich Lazarus lives, but rather imitate poor Lazarus, and after death your soul will be carried by the Angels to Abraham’s bosom.
If you are very cowardly and impatient, then it is better to repair or remodel the stove in your cell and live, thanking God.
If you knew how the king lived on a campaign in inclement weather, you would blush from ear to ear for your grumbling and despondency. Ask for patience.
Invoking the peace and blessing of God, I remain with sincere goodwill.
