100. К епископу Палладию 68

As for our personal fate, we do not need any consolation, because to console ourselves with it, it is enough for us to know the reason why it turned out this way. But we cry about the turbulent time that has come for the entirety of the churches, about the collapse that has befallen the universe, and we earnestly ask you to assist with your prayers so that this general destruction will finally end and all affairs will take a bright and peaceful turn. Don't interrupt this matter. Now that you are hiding in secret hiding places, it is all the more convenient for you to devote yourself diligently and with a contrite heart to prayer. And this is no small matter - to pray to a humane God! Do not interrupt, I say, this matter, and whenever possible, constantly write to us. No matter how great the distance that separates us from your dimension, we constantly and daily take care of your situation, asking and learning about you from those who come from there (whom, unfortunately, we rarely meet). Do yourself a favor, if possible, in this way provide us with a means to know everything more positively and please us with news about your health, from which, despite our life in the desert, we will draw great consolation for ourselves. The paragraphs in the text were arranged by us. – Editorial staff of “ABC of Faith” You might be interested in:
