46. К диакону Феодоту 35

You soon forgot us, adding to our bitter sadness as a result of separation from you a new sorrow - with your long silence. You cannot blame the lack of time: so many days have passed that it was very easy to look back. And we will not allow you to apologize for fear of Isaurian raids, because we love you too much for this. After your departure, many from there came here. What is the reason for your silence? Lazyness and indifference. However, we will save you from reproaches for your previous negligence if you try in the future to make up for what you have lost by increasing the frequency of your letters. You know how pleased we will be if you constantly notify us about your health. The paragraphs in the text were arranged by us. – Editorial staff of “ABC of Faith” You might be interested in:
