“Listen, I’ll explain this thing that seems like a mystery to you. In the evening during my prayer when I had finished and wanted to rest I saw Satan threatening to put obstacles and trials in the way of my decision and my plans. And I said to our Christ, “Lord, don’t stop him so I can show him that I love you and will endure the cold as long as you allow it.” So that was why all this happened my child so that I wouldn’t have heating as quickly as you wanted me to.”
(Elder St Joseph ~My Elder Joseph)
