What is this? You know how happy we are always with your well-being, how we rejoice at your promotions - you should have first notified us of the high honor that you have now achieved, and meanwhile, you allowed that we learned about it first from others, and you don’t even think that now you have to justify yourself much to us in the fact that you, as far as it depended on you, for such a long time arbitrarily deprived us of such great joy. Of course, your true dignity, your highest rank, is your spiritual valor. But since you know how to use these worldly benefits for the benefit of your own soul, and the more you gain strength, the more spacious you open a shelter to all those in need, we rightly rejoice in this and triumph now, and for this reason we do not forgive you for the guilt of your silence. How can you better justify yourself to us? Write more often and constantly notify us about the health of yourself and your entire home. After we have thus shown you even the very method of justification, all that remains for you is to fulfill what is required of you. And if after this letter you continue to remain silent, then we will attribute it to your extreme negligence, and it will hurt us. However, I am positively confident that you will consider it the greatest punishment for yourself to make us suffer from this, because I know how sincerely and ardently you love us in your soul. The paragraphs in the text were arranged by us. – Editorial staff of “ABC of Faith” You might be interested in:
