76. К Феодосию, епископу скифопольскому

In location we are far from you, but in love we are near you, inseparable and connected with you in soul. This is love: it is not hampered by space, it is not torn apart by distance; but it easily flies around the entire universe, connecting those who mutually love each other. This is what we are experiencing now, carrying you everywhere in our hearts. Therefore, we earnestly ask you - as you did before, beautifying yourselves and protecting the churches, do so now, and turn away with the courage that suits you from the people who have brought so much turmoil into the entire universe and disturbed the churches. This will be the beginning of stopping the storm, this will be the protection of churches, this will be the correction of evil, if you, healthy ones, interrupt all relations with those who have stained themselves with such an ulcer and will have nothing in common with them. Having thus in mind the reward for the feat and the crowns prepared for it, try to show the necessary courage in this matter and never forget us, who love you, by doing this you will do us the greatest favor. The paragraphs in the text were arranged by us. – Editorial staff of “ABC of Faith” You might be interested in:
