You revived me and delighted me by the fact that, reporting sad news, you attached to them a saying that must be applied to all accidents in life - saying: “Glory to God for everything.” This saying is a fatal blow to the devil. For those who use it, it is the greatest guarantee of inviolability and joy among all kinds of dangers. As soon as you say it, the clouds of sadness instantly disperse. Do not stop repeating it always and teach others to use it in all cases. Then the storm that befalls you, be it even more severe, will turn into silence for you; then those embraced by it will not only get rid of its horrors, but will also derive from it a comparatively highest reward for themselves. It magnified Job; it, this very saying, put the devil to flight and forced him to retreat in shame, it is the disappearance of all fear. Repeat it constantly in all events that occur. As for the place of our exile, let them not bother with it anymore for now. True, Kukuz is a remote place; but we are calm here and, thanks to permanent residence in one place, we have managed to significantly improve our health, which was upset on the road. And if you force us to move from place to place again, this will be the end of us, especially now that winter is at the gates. Let no one anywhere insist or solicit regarding this subject. Instead, write to us constantly about your health, about life there, your successes and your complacency.

The paragraphs in the text were arranged by us. – Editorial staff of “ABC of Faith” From Kukuz in 404, like the four following letters. You might be interested in:
