23. К пресвитеру монаху Марон 23

Thus, with love and affection, we are united with you and see you as if you were now here. Such are the eyes of love: they are not obscured by the distance and do not weaken with time. Therefore, we would like to write more often for your reverence. But since this is completely impossible due to the difficulty of the road and the rarity of travelers, we welcome your honesty as often as possible, and inform you that we constantly have you in our memory, carrying you in our souls, wherever we are. Notify us more often about your health, so that, being separated from you physically, but constantly knowing about your prosperity, we will be more complacent and can be much comforted by this, living in the desert. After all, hearing about your health gives us no small joy. But above all, please pray for us. The paragraphs in the text were arranged by us. – Editorial staff of “ABC of Faith” The time of writing of this letter is vaguely placed between 404 and 407. You might be interested in:
