To Amphilochius on his consecration as Bishop.<br />

previous evil ways into good by the help of the wisdom given you by God. For Christ has<br />

sent you not to follow others, but yourself to take the lead of all who are being saved. I<br />

charge you to pray for me, that, if I am still in this life, I may be permitted to see you with<br />

your <strong>Church</strong>. If, however, it is ordained that I now depart, may I see all of you hereafter<br />

with the Lord, your <strong>Church</strong> blooming like a vine with good works, <strong>and</strong> yourself like a wise<br />

husb<strong>and</strong>man <strong>and</strong> good servant giving meat in due season to his fellow-servants <strong>and</strong> receiving<br />

the reward of a wise <strong>and</strong> trusty steward. All who are with me salute your reverence. May<br />

you be strong <strong>and</strong> joyful in the Lord. May you be preserved glorious in the graces of the<br />

Spirit <strong>and</strong> of wisdom.<br />
