Arriving at the monastery, one pilgrim once asked one of the elders whether God grants forgiveness to sinners. And the elder answered:
“Tell me, beloved, if your cloak is torn, do you throw it away?”
The pilgrim replied:
- No. I fix it and continue to wear it. The elder concluded:
“If you care about your cloak, will God not be merciful to his own image?”
