COLLECTION 2 - Sermons: Do the Works of Truth

By St Nikolai Of Serbia (Velimirovich)

Prayer Helps in EverythingOnce I was traveling by night train from Skoplje to Kosovsk Mitrovica, on the way I met Risto Kovachevich, director of the depot in Mostar. We spent most of the night in conversation, or rather, he spoke, and I listened. He claimed that all good things in life were given to him by prayer. "Many people say that they believe in God, but not many people pray, and faith without prayer is futile," said Risto. Then he told me a lot, and I wrote down the most significant events told by him.Here is one of his stories: "I have more than twenty apricot trees in my garden, in 1936 only my apricots were born. And we export apricots to Primorye and other regions for sale, and people suffered a great loss. Mostar was surprised that only Risto had apricots. My acquaintance priest came and asked: "Maybe you watered them, Risto?""How to water so many trees, man of God ? " I'll tell you the truth, father, watered, but not with water, but how: several times I got up at dawn, kindled a censer and consecrated the garden with incense, with a prayer to God, this is the only thing I was more zealous than other bridges. Here it is.But the Lord saw and gave. "
