Letter 21: Evagrius and Eustathius both need consolation after their common father is gone.

Two of us need consolation, my beloved brother Eustathius: you and I, since we have been left by our common father. I need consolation no less than you do, even though I am now trying to console you. You know how the blessed man loved me, while Your Holiness mediated for us and bore fruit and increased. Now I trust in our Lord, who has given you Papa Onesimus as a father, that he will be enough for your every consolation and will be enough for us too, interceding for our sins. Even now you have done well by consoling us through your holy letters and showing that your love for us surpasses everything in the Lord. May the Lord give you according to your heart and fulfill every purpose of yours, because you honor the lowly and sinful, though we have nothing worthy of your love.
