137. К епископу Максиму

When I think about your labors and efforts, which have been going on for a long time, I feel extraordinary and the greatest consolation in my undeserved suffering, drawing the greatest reinforcement for myself in your love, so ardent and sincere, in your heartfelt care, in your intense and vigilant efforts to correct what has happened. I am incredibly inspired by the thought that living so far from us, having never seen us, never been seen by us and without exchanging a single word with us, suddenly, solely out of a sense of the illegality of the events that took place, you showed us such love as only fathers show for children, or even surpassed fathers in your care for us. We thank, extol, and please your reverence for this and earnestly ask you to continue as before, and to bring to the end the zeal that you showed at first. Even if this does not improve the situation, in any case, as I said above, it will be very comforting for us to know that we have enjoyed and are enjoying such love from your honesty. The paragraphs in the text were arranged by us. – Editorial staff of “ABC of Faith” You might be interested in:
