71. К Фавстину

We arrived in Kukuz in good health (this is how I begin my letter in accordance with your wishes) and found that this place was not at all dangerous, completely calm, completely quiet: no one was crowding it and no one was attacking it. And what is surprising if it is so calm in the city, when we freely and unhindered traveled the entire unusually deserted, dangerous and suspicious road leading here, enjoying greater safety than in the most comfortable cities? As a reward for this good news on our part, write to us constantly about your health. Living here in complete silence, we constantly reproduce for ourselves the nobility of your way of thinking, your love of freedom, hatred of evil, frank frankness, all the wealth of your boundless virtues, and we remember you with pleasure, carrying your image in our souls wherever we are, and burning with boundless love for you. We would therefore like to see you arrive here. But since this is difficult, we resort to another means and ask you to console us with letters. The constant receipt of letters with news of your health will give us the greatest encouragement. The paragraphs in the text were arranged by us. – Editorial staff of “ABC of Faith” You might be interested in:
