26. Св. Отцы считали своим долгом радушно принимать даже иноверных странников

Your Reverence, most honorable Mother Lyudmila! I received your letters dated June 23 and 27. I am sending “The Biography of Archimandrite Isaac” in 10 copies. Comforting a relative as modestly as you do is not a sin. If St. The fathers considered it their duty to provide warm hospitality even to those of other faiths, and even more so to their own, as long as it was not just due to partiality. When you have an extra photo of your St. monastery, then I wish to have it. For Fr. Anastasia can sometimes be sent through me, this is more convenient in all respects. Let Vyacheslav go to Crimea with love and peace, so that she herself can be peaceful. From July 1, rail traffic from Moscow to Bryansk was opened, and Art. Sukhinichi is about 15–20 versts from us. Now they travel privately on service trains from the Moscow-Kurskaya metropolitan area to Kozelsk, and in the fall, perhaps, proper service will open. Invoking the peace and blessing of God, I remain with sincere goodwill. You might be interested in:
