Although I receive letters from your modesty less often than I send to your modesty, I will not stop writing constantly. By doing this, I give myself pleasure, I correspond with a person who is so sincere, so sincere, so ardently and constantly disposed towards us. But in addition, since it is very desirable for us to have information about how your affairs are going, we would like to constantly receive letters from you, so that we always have information about what we wish for you, namely, that you live in complacency and complete well-being. That, taking advantage of this, you take great care of your soul and, leaving aside everything worldly, walk along the road to heaven, of this, of course, there is nothing to doubt. I know the nobility of your soul, freedom, independence from business and alienation from everyday worries. So, feeling how much pleasure you will give us by this, try to write to us, as we said above, constantly, as soon as possible and feasible, so that we can thus receive great reinforcement in the fight against the deprivations of such a desert in which we spend our lives. When letters from you, from those who love us sincerely, often come to us with notifications about your health, they not only make us happy, but give us such pleasure that we become completely insensitive to the desolation of the place in which we live. The paragraphs in the text were arranged by us. – Editorial staff of “ABC of Faith” You might be interested in:
