58. К Малху 44

Do not lose heart, and do not attribute the beautiful death of your blessed daughter to your sins. She entered a storm-proof pier, reached a life that has no end, and, freed from the worries of the present age, stood on a stone, where all the benefits she had collected inextricably lay around her, as if in an already inviolable treasury. We must rejoice, have fun and triumph that you, like an excellent farmer - a ripe fruit, presented her soul to the common Lord. Applying from these and similar reflections the medicines extracted from the heartache that has struck you and my most modest lady, her mother, thus increase the reward set aside for you, so that you receive a great reward from the man-loving God not only for her wonderful upbringing, but also for the meek and complacent enduring of this wonderful separation from her. The paragraphs in the text were arranged by us. – Editorial staff of “ABC of Faith” You might be interested in:
