A White Gown

I’ve been using translate.google.com lately to try to read the posts of Bishop Ignaty on his blog. It’s a pretty cool thing having a bishop in the blogosphere. Then again, this bishop is pretty cool. Felix Culpa had a post about him some time ago, when he celebrated the Divine Liturgy and even had a baptism on the North Pole. You can find it here.

Below is a post I found on the bishop’s blog. Just beautiful. The google-translate doesn’t do that great of a job, just gives you an idea of what is being said. So, I had some help in fixing this one up.

“Father, why are you sad?” – a pupil asked the elder.

“People forgotten how to see truth. Three times I showed three of you white clothes with a dirty stain. And I asked, ‘What do you see?’ ‘A dirty stain,’ said every one of you.

And no one thought to answer – a white gown. “
