Letter 9015: It is well with my spirit that the burden of sin that weighed upon your soul has been lifted by divine grace.

Ennodius to Stephania. It is well with my soul, that you remember one weighed down by the burden of sin, and that amid those cares of your holy heart-such as the letters dispatched to lord Avienus make plain-forgetfulness of my person does not arise. I give thanks to God, who by an undeserved clemency toward sinners comes to their aid with his accustomed mercy, while he sustains them through the intercession of holy souls. I do not believe that one whom you honor with the address of your nobility is abandoned amid your prayers. I salute you, therefore, with the humility that is fitting, and I ask that you bestow upon him the constant support of your prayers, whom you nourish with the abundance of your remembrance.

Bene est animo meo, quod grauatum peccati fasce meministis et inter illas sacri pectoris curas, quantum epistolae ad domnum Auienum destinatae manifestant, personae meae non emergit obliuio. deo gratias ago, qui per indebitam delinquentibus clementiam solita miseratione succurrit, dum eos sanctarum animarum intercessione sustentat. non credo, quod inter orationes deseratur quem nobilitatis alloquio. saluto ergo humilitate qua dignum est et rogo, ut illi adsidua orationum donetis suffragia, quem commemorationis pascitis ubertate.
