The Legend of St. Peter

Peter was a servant. With kindness and an open heart, he was not different, rather, on the contrary, he was closed and cruel. Only once in his life he helped a man by offering him a piece of bread, and it is not from his generosity and out of pity, but simply that he does not interfere and does not get confused under his feet. Somehow Petr dreamed a dream that he was in purgatory and saw there scales. One cup was completely filled with evil deeds, and in the second there was only a piece of bread thrown to the poor man. But it is surprising that this piece was enough that Peter did not go to the darkest corners of hell.

Waking up, he correctly interpreted his dream. He came to Christ, repented, vowed to God that henceforth he would only deal with good deeds. He kept his word. Immediately Peter sold all his property, and helped the poor with the money he received. He asked me to turn myself into slavery, and give all the money for this to the poor. Humbly worked hard Peter, never failed the owner and did not reproach him in anything. Once the traders passed by, who knew Peter's past life well. They hurried to tell the owner who in fact works for him, but did not have time. Peter left the city, finally healed by his holiness the silent and blind slave guarding the city gates.
