“…be a little more patient. And I trust that Jesus Who is already shown so much love to us will fulfill all of your requests even more. You will find not only peace and quiet in your soul, but also everything that is beneficial to our wretched souls which the Lord grant you. Just keep seeking with tears that the Lord’s holy will be done – in the way He knows best – and not yours.”
(Elder St Joseph the Hesychast, ‘Monastic Wisdom’)
