From the living of St. Ambrose of Optina.
Shortly before his death the elder
Ambrose said to another monastery monk Paulinus: "For you have not
disclosed some of your thoughts to me, God will allow you to suffer a
temptation". That's what has happened. The monk Paulinus, having caught a
cold during the procurement of firewood, all but died, and his
miraculous cure attributed to the prayerful intercession of the elder
Ambrose, who has already fallen asleep in the Lord by that time.
