“O brethren, I beg and pray you in the name of God’s compassion, believe in the Gospels and the witness of the Holy Church, and you will, while still here on earth, savour the blessedness of paradise.”
«О, братья, прошу вас и умоляю от лица Божьего милосердия, веруйте в Евангелие и во свидетельство Святой Церкви, и вы еще на земле вкусите райское блаженство.»
