Letter 63: Hormisdas to Anastasia.

Hormisdas to Anastasia. After our God had made firm the members of his Church, returning into their former peace, you have testified that you long desired this, and rejoicing that it has come to pass we too unceasingly entreat the divine mercy that, just as it has graciously received these first-fruits of the kingdom, so it may always assist the faith of a good prince with every successful outcome of prosperity, and may guard both him and all of us in the most sacred love of religion, so that, those whose faith has cast off the error of that most wicked dissension, both their life may flourish on earth and the reward of eternal salvation may follow after. Now therefore do you also join your prayers together with us, and implore with all your strength from God, that all the churches may follow the example of this correction, so that the devil may rejoice that nothing has remained to him, whom our concord now congratulates itself on having shut out almost entirely.
