The reverend Father Nikandra heard the Divine voice, as in the Gospel: come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest, and accept the cross, and follow Christ. You have left the world, you have moved into the desert, but through fasting and vigil we will receive the heavenly gift, healing the souls of the sick who come to you with faith. In the same way, O reverend, your spirit will rejoice with the Angels.
