" Yesterday I hardly slept all night Having written m my diary, I began to pray to God. It is impossible to con- vey the sweetness of the feeling which I experienced during prayer. I repeated the prayers I generally say : Our Father, Digitized by VjOOQ IC THE CAUCASUS lay to the Virgin, to the Trinity, ' the gates of mercy,' the ap- peal to the guardian angel, and then I still remained at prayer. If one were to define prayer as petition or thanks- giving, then I did not pray. I longed for somet...hing sublime and good, but what, I cannot convey, although I was clearly conscious that I desired it I wished to blend into unity with the all-enfolding Being. I asked Him to pardon my crimes ; yet no, I did not ask this, for I felt that He had given me this blissful moment. He had pardoned me. I asked and at the same time felt that I had nothing to ask, that I could not and did not know how to ask. I thanked Him, but not in words, not in thoughts. I combined all in one feeling, both petition and thaficsgiving.
