[Chrysostom]

The affliction of your friend has moved me deeply; not chiefly because she has lost her parents, for to depart and be with Christ is far better for those who die in the Lord, but because her own soul, in its bitter sorrow, has turned to stone and refuses the only true comfort. You tell me that she seeks healing in everything but Jesus Christ, and my heart grieves. Yet do not despair, for the Lord is able to raise the dead to life, and when a soul lies like dry bones in the grave of unforgiveness, His breath can revive it. Remember how the centurion thought himself unworthy even to receive Christ under his roof, but by that very humility he became worthy of a kingdom. So too, if your friend will humble herself under the mighty hand of God, casting her brokenness upon Him, she will find mercy that exceeds all reckoning.

Do you recall how the Apostle Paul was a blasphemer and a persecutor, yet he obtained mercy precisely so that in him Christ might display all longsuffering as a pattern for those who would later believe? This is the God we serve: One who stoops to the utterly unworthy, who saves not because we have kept any promise but out of love for mankind alone. Let no one imagine that God is the author of her bitterness because He permitted this sorrow. Far be it from us to give the wicked occasion to blaspheme, as though the Lord should have punished her instead of dealing gently with her wounds. He has permitted this loss not to harden her heart, but to draw her to Himself, if only she will see that the weakness of her shattered spirit can become the very ground where divine strength is made perfect. Out of weakness the saints were made strong; women received back their dead by resurrection. The God of all comfort is able to turn her mourning into joy and exchange her spirit of heaviness for the garment of praise.

Therefore, I entreat you: let this be the return you make to me for whatever spiritual good you have ever received, fulfil my joy by standing with your friend in the fellowship of Christ’s suffering. Bear with her in lowliness, subjecting yourself to her in the fear of Christ, for by such gentle patience a heart of stone may be won without a word. Pray without ceasing, and as you pray, take care of your own soul too, for that is the only repayment our Benefactor seeks. And do not grow weary, though the season seems long. The husbandman waits for the precious fruit of the earth, and so must you.

In the meantime, avoid accusing her, for a broken bone is not mended by harsh handling. Rather, let the consolation of love and tender mercies that are in Christ Jesus flow through you. Remind her, when she will hear it, that the Lord Himself wept at the tomb of His friend, so grief is not sin; but to cling to bitterness and refuse forgiveness is to chain oneself to the grave. She has lost an earthly father and mother, yet the Father of mercies waits to be her true Father, and the Church a mother to the desolate. The same Christ who bore our sins and forgave His murderers stands ready to take her grief and release her from the prison of unforgiveness, if only she will turn and look upon Him.

This, then, is my prayer: that the Good Shepherd, who leaves the ninety-nine to seek the one that has strayed, will find her in the wilderness of her pain, bind up her wounds, and carry her home. May He who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think restore to her the joy of His salvation and uphold her with His free Spirit. And may you see the fruit of your faithful love, rejoicing with her as one born again from the dead.
