Please remember a dear friend of mine, Hieromonk Joshua. On his Facebook page he told us of his health problems: Father only has one kidney and that is giving him problems...also, his left ventricle is enlarged. The doctor told him he needs an IVP and this could actually kill him in the sever condition he is now in. Father has been having chest pains, sever fatigue, extremely high blood pressure, periodic shortness of breath, dizziness and intermittent nausea. Also, his diabetes is acting and his blood sugar is very high. He will be seeing a cardiac doctor and a specialist for the IVP. Surprisingly he is at peace with the Will of God.

Conquer evil men by your gentle kindness, and make zealous men wonder at your goodness. Put the lover of legality to shame by your compassion. With the afflicted be afflicted in mind. Love all men, but keep distant from all men.
