79. К пресвитеру Моисею 51
Machine translation from the original · Show original
The greatness of the praises lavished in the letter of your honesty far exceeds our wretchedness. Therefore, leaving behind praise, do not cease to pray both for the entire body of churches and for our humility, earnestly asking the man-loving God to stop the disasters that have beset the universe. Only through prayers can the present state of affairs be corrected, and, moreover, mainly through your prayers, which have acquired great boldness from God.
Do not stop praying diligently and do not make it a point to constantly write to us as much as possible, especially since the distance is short. We fervently wish to have information about your health, since the health of each of you serves as support and consolation for many. Your life is always precious, but especially now, in the midst of such a whirlwind and darkness, when you, appearing like clear heavenly bodies, can shed your light on the overwhelmed and drowning. Thus, if you want us to be happy, send us letters more often with good news about your health, and we would have considerable comfort if we constantly received this kind of information about your honesty.
The paragraphs in the text were arranged by us. – Editorial staff of “ABC of Faith”
