Dearest N…,
Christ is among us.
Your blessing.
I received your card and I thank you in everything and for
everything. I humbly wish that you become an earthly angel and a
heavenly man. Axios.
Your life should not be like a firework cracker which
vanishes after the first burst, but should be like an inextinguishable
oil lamp just like those of the wise virgins. Your life should be a fire
of Christ. It should not be a boastful display but a humble one. Not a
false earthly joy but a heavenly intoxication, divine love, holy bliss,
resurrection following a grief and a cross.
Enjoy then the OBEDIENCE – LACK OF POSSESSIONS – VIRGINITY.
-
OBEDIENCE means that your actions will not have YOU as the centre, but something or someone beyond YOU.
OBEDIENCE is freedom from self-declared godliness, and from glory seeking.
-
LACK OF POSSESSIONS means to have but not to own. Freedom from ownership. Common life, common property.
-
VIRGINITY means to be involved and at the same time to remain intact. To give yourself but not to be consumed. It is deeper than just the abstinence from a sexual relationship.
Respectable Fr N…, I wish that you become a genuine monk,
the reshaping back to the “ancient beauty”, the nostalgia of life in
paradise before the fall, put in practice. The image of God, cleansed
and redrawn in a world which is mostly under demonic influence. A living
lightning rod of the divine wrath. A living sacrificial altar of God
Sabaoth from which the offerings of your burning heart will rise –
unceasing day and night prayers – for us, your brothers. Tireless
intercessor to the Heavenly Father.
With deepest respect, Least of all,
† Fr. N.M.
