Orthodox Parables and Stories: The miracle of dialing the wrong number.

One Saturday before going home, the priest decided to call his wife. It was almost 10 pm, but his wife did not answer the phone. He waited a long time, but his wife did not answer the phone.

After a while, he dialed the home number again, and the wife answered immediately. The priest asked why his wife did not pick up the phone for so long when he called the first time, but she replied that there had not been any call before.

This incident would have been forgotten had the phone not rang in the priest’s office room in the church on Monday.

The caller was talking about a call from this number Saturday night. For a long time the priest could not understand what was at stake. Then the man said: "The phone rang and rang, but I did not answer ..."

The priest, recalling the incident that had happened to him, apologized for disturbing this man, explaining that he wanted to call home, but apparently dialed the wrong number. Then the caller said:

“Let me tell you what happened then. You see, on Saturday night I was going to end my life. If He doesn't want me to do it, then let Him give me a sign.
And just at that moment my phone rang. I approached the phone and saw the inscription on the phone: "... Holy Trinity". I looked at the ringing phone and did not dare pick up the receiver. "

The temple in which the priest served was called "The Temple of the Holy Life-Giving Trinity ... "
