75. К Иоанну, епископу Иерусалимскому

We are removed to Kukuz, but we have not withdrawn from love for you. This depended on others, and this depended on us. Therefore, even from here, despite such distance, we write to you and earnestly ask your reverence to preserve even now the courage that you showed from the very beginning, turning away from the people who filled the churches with so much turmoil, and to complete it with a worthy beginning, or even a more brilliant end. A considerable reward will be set aside for you if, as you should, you interrupt all relations with people who have created such a storm, filling almost the entire universe with so many temptations, and have nothing in common with them. The safety of churches depends on this; This is their hedge; These are your crowns and victorious honors. Knowing this, my most honest and reverent master, take care to protect the churches, thus expecting the greatest reward for this, and never forget about us, who deeply love your reverence and entrust ourselves to your disposition. We know what kind of love you show us, seeing it from your very deeds. The paragraphs in the text were arranged by us. – Editorial staff of “ABC of Faith” You might be interested in:
