E.N. In connection with higher sayings what recommendation could you give, for example, for our parish, a parish which you know is a missionary one?

V.E. Yes, it is a missionary one, I know. I would only advise to have extreme scrupulousness to those who sympathize with you. The point is that sometimes it happens that to people they come running because they are afraid to not find any other sympathizers. In their own time, they either disgrace themselves and do not repent or else they somehow spoil their reputation. Now, Glory to God, all is more or less peaceful. All these troubles, unpleasantness in 1994, have nevertheless passed. So then, one must now softly do one’s work and before anything else, not to let go of it. The tree is judged by its fruits. You, indeed, should be graduates of a good standard. Consequently, don’t be ashamed to ask, demand, and it should all be done in earnest. And there, God will manage.
