Letter from Br. Błażej: Night 184

August 27, 2022 – Saturday. St. Monica

At our place it is calm. In the Dnieper region and especially neighboring areas rocket fire. There are civilian casualties. God give us peace!

The Word… “Look to your vocation, brothers!”. Very specific encouragement, look at yourself as in a mirror. What do you see? “A happy nation chosen by the Lord.” “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.”

What do you see? You are loved by God. God is love!
We live in war, we do not live by war.

Krasilow:
Peace and good! In Krasilow, another funeral for a soldier who died in the war. As you can see, crowds bid farewell to their hero. And in the Krasilov parish and retreat house, life goes on. The children’s oasis continues until Saturday, minor repairs are being done at the monastery (Leonid K. with the carpenter is making a door for a room to protect it from unwanted sounds…). Daily life is going on fairly normally. Greetings to all!

May God protect and bless us.
