Netsvetaeva, which lasted from February 1887 to October 1893, is published. In his letters to T. V. Netsvetaeva, St. Feofan mainly concerns economic and household issues, such as the repair and sale of the house, the transfer of funds, etc. Despite the absence of pronounced theological issues in these letters, they do not lose their relevance. The published letters are interesting in the sense that in them St. Theophan reveals himself to the reader not only as a theologian and ascetic, but as a person attentive to the needs of people close to him. Staying in reclusion, he did not consider it shameful for himself to delve into the everyday needs of his correspondents. Correspondence of Saint Theophan the Recluse with T.V. Netsvetaeva lasted from February 1887 to October 1893. Tatyana Vladimirovna is the daughter of priest Vladimir Nikitich Makrinov and the sister of St. Feofan - Lyubov Vasilievna Makrinova (nee Govorova). She was married to priest Alexander Borisovich Netsvetaev, rector of the Ascension-St. George Church in the village. Cossacks of the Yeletsky district of the Oryol province, who died on February 6, 1890. From the correspondence it is clear that before and, especially, after the death of her husband T.V. Netsvetaeva was in great need. The circumstances of her life were such that she supported her niece on her husband’s side, Antonina Egorovna Netsvetaeva, who lived with her as her dependent. On February 11, 1890, she married Ivan Dmitrievich Govorov. In addition, in the care of Tatyana Vladimirovna were Serafima Petrovna and Olga Petrovna Ryazanov, who were left orphans after the death of Ryazanova’s mother Alexandra Vladimirovna [see: 1] 2. In his letters to T.V. Netsvetaeva St. Feofan deals primarily with household issues, such as repairing and selling a house, sending money, etc. Despite the absence of pronounced theological issues in these letters, they do not lose their relevance. Noteworthy is the deep reasoning of St. Theophan when interpreting the Gospel commandment about mercy 3. The advice he gives to T.V. Netsvetaeva regarding her relationship with her niece Antonina Egorovna and her relatives deserve special attention and comment. After the death of Fr. Alexander Borisovich Netsvetaev, Tatyana Vladimirovna’s husband, his relatives began to demand that she transfer the rights to inherit the house to Antonina 4. St. Feofan took a very firm and definite position on this issue, as can be seen from his letter to Tatyana Vladimirovna dated May 2, 1890: “Stop worrying about the house. Nobody has any right to it. He is yours. Stand firm in this right of yours, and do not hesitate. You seem to bow to the cry of Antonina's relatives. Do not bow down, but do not shout like them; but stand on your right and meekly, but firmly and decisively, say: “No one has the right to oppress me and impose obligations on me.” So tell everyone that you do not recognize any obligations regarding Antonina and do not take on any trouble regarding her placement and placement. Let them do the work themselves. And stop thinking about it. Just know one thing about her that I am not averse to helping her when her matchmaking begins; but I don’t define the measures of this. And live in peace, not paying attention to the cries of Antonina’s relatives.” The published letters are interesting in the sense that in them Saint Theophan reveals himself to the reader not so much as a theologian and ascetic, but as a person attentive to the needs of people close to him. He spent all the money he had from publishing his works on helping those in need. While in seclusion, he did not consider it shameful for himself to delve into the everyday needs of his correspondents. 1. HALO. F. 157. Op. 8. D. 34. Letters to St. Feofan the Recluse to Tatyana Vladimirovna Netsvetaeva “God's mercy be with you! I’m very glad that you agreed on the money there 6. I am now sending you 100 rubles. Sew something. In May I will send two more, and maybe three hundred. I cannot write to Your Lord 7. Let the groom himself personally ask him, placing his fate in his hands: it will be better that way. God bless your works. IR NBU. F. 160. Unit. hr. 1968. L. 1 vol. You once wrote about the renovation of the Ryazanov orphanage 8 . Well? Here are the holidays. We might as well get started. It occurred to me that since their huts are a little cold, wouldn’t it be best to line their house with bricks... how much would it cost? I think I can handle it. If you find it necessary and feasible, then proceed. Just let me know how much it will cost me to prepare the money. If you haven't seen how it's done, ask. And then, when they start working, arrange for supervision of the work. Inside, leave the walls as they are. It's healthier. The logs inside my hut are exposed, and the outside is lined with bricks - and it’s beautiful. And rearrange the stoves if necessary... God bless you and your family 9 and orphans 10. Save yourself! Your good friend E. Feofan. P.S. If you have to sell the house, this amendment will not detract from its value. It’s surprising that selling and buying happened at the same time... but take a closer look!” IR NBU. F. 160. Unit. hr. 1968. L. 2–2 vol. (Copy) I wrote to you about the renovation of the home of the Yeletsky orphans Olga and Seraphima 11... and I was still waiting for your notification of how much money was needed. Having now money in my hands and afraid to squander it, I am sending you one hundred rubles for this purpose. If it’s not enough, write and I’ll send you more. If you are planning to cover the house with brick, which is very desirable, then you need to supervise the work, because craftsmen without supervision can make such a thing that this cover will be worse than upholstering the house with planks. Since this work is external, it can be carried out even after the holidays end, even though it will take September. What have you heard about Anna Stepanovna’s eldest son? Was he appointed to the Academy? Let me know his first name, patronymic, and last name 12 - I forgot everything. Write it down. God bless you! Your good friend E. Feofan.” IR NBU. F. 160. Unit. hr. 1968. L. 2 vol. (Copy) “The mercy of God be with you! O. Alexander 13 wrote that Alexandra Egorovna 14 now lives separately and has the need to send her 15 rubles. Tell her. And go ahead and take the trouble to communicate her needs if she asks. God bless you! E. Feofan." IR NBU. F. 160. Unit. hr. 1971. L. 1. (Copy) Your letter surprised me and saddened me. But there is nothing to do. Let us submit to the will of God. There is nothing to send to you for the money made for Antonina 15. This is a 5% bank ticket. He won't lie there in vain. You know how to accommodate Antonina there. God help you! Once you settle the matter, let me know and I’ll send you the money. Don’t blame the Eminence 16, I believe there was some outside influence here. But since the place has already been taken, there is no need to puzzle over how this happened. When there is a need, write. I will send you little by little. You wrote that Antonina has a certificate to become a rural school teacher. We would try to look for such a place. This would not interfere with what you wished for. But is she strong in knowledge of rural school subjects... It will be worse if some inspector, having inspected the school, says to the teacher: You would be better off resigning. God bless you! Save yourself. Your good friend IR NBU. F. 160. Unit. hr. 1968. L. 3–3 vol. (Copy) Stop worrying about home. Nobody has any right to it. He is yours. And without the will of Vladimir's father 17, which strengthens your right. Prescription does not invalidate this will. Stand firm in this right of yours, and do not waver. You seem to bow to the cry of Antonina's relatives 18 . Do not bow down, but do not shout like them; but stand on your right and meekly, but firmly and decisively, say: “No one has the right to oppress me and impose obligations on me.” Antonina has no right to inheritance and you have no obligation to Antonina. If you want to keep her, keep her, but if you don’t want to, let her go to her mother or grandmother. Before she lived with you, but now circumstances have changed. Father Alexander 19 may have made some promises. He would have fulfilled them if he had been alive. The fulfillment of this promise cannot pass to you. You are completely free from everything. So tell Antonina’s family, speak without enthusiasm, but firmly. You remember the thousand Antoninas. Antonina doesn't have any thousand. I promised this to her on the occasion of the permission given to you to look for a groom for the deacon’s place. As the matter did not take place, the money remains with me. They did not become Antonin. I can freely dispose of them and have already given them another purpose. I do not refuse to help Antonina, but not with this thousand. When the work begins, then it will be clear what I can do. So tell everyone that you do not recognize any obligations regarding Antonina and do not take on any trouble regarding her placement and placement. Let them do the work themselves. And stop thinking about it. Just know one thing about her that I am not averse to helping her when her matchmaking begins; but I don’t define the measures of this. And live in peace, not paying attention to the cries of Antonina’s relatives. Where does Alexandra Ivanovna have such fervor? 20...2 thousand, and a wedding, and dresses?! Let her do it all herself. Antonina has a certificate for teaching in rural schools. Let him look for such a place, otherwise he will forget everything. He will eat his own bread without burdening others. I ask you who is Alexandra Stepanovna’s husband 21 , what rank he is - spiritual or not, and where he lives now and what he does. Tell! No matter how he decides to force himself into your house. Don’t accept him, tell him that all ties between him and Alexandra Stepanovna are broken, he’s a stranger! Calm down! Whatever the screamers shout, don’t pay any attention to it. God bless you! Save yourself! Your good friend E. Feofan. IR NBU. F 160. Unit. hr. 1968. L. 3 vol. – 4 rev. (Copy) I am sending you 22 25 rubles for expenses for orphans. I would like to know how things are going for you there? Have they stopped intimidating you? May God grant you peace of mind. Your good friend E. Feofan.” IR NBU. F. 160. Unit. hr. 1968. L. 4 vol. (Copy) I am sending you 50 rubles. There are 23 for the three of you. Write ahead when you need it, but don’t sell your things. And always indicate approximately how much you need. If sometimes I don’t send it soon, don’t be embarrassed by this. I don't always have money in my hands. Who advised you to go to Oryol to submit a petition for granting you benefits from trusteeship? This cannot be suddenly decided. The Bishop submits the petition to the guardianship, and the guardianship will begin to make inquiries about your condition, and then form an opinion on whether to give you benefits or not, and if given, to what extent. The Lord will approve... Sometimes it takes a very long time. It will be boring for you to live there. Your presence there will not help the cause. You'll just waste your time and suffer. It's better to send your request by mail. And there it will take care of itself. Is Alexandra's boy 24 capable of learning? If he is capable, then it would be good to place him in a theological school. If he is not capable of learning, and may be inclined towards some kind of skill, then wouldn’t it be better to make him a master? Skill always gives a piece, and scientists often go hungry 25. Mastery is honorable. God bless you all. Your good friend E. Feofan.” IR NBU. F. 160. Unit. hr. 1968. L. 4 vol. – 5. (Copy) I am very sorry that you are being squeezed. But where they are right, we have to endure. God help you! Regarding Antonina 26 You are doing well that you do not agree to pass her off as someone known to be evil. Moreover, does it take place? Without a certain solid place, do not give in any way. And it will be a waste of money and money for the girl. There is already one 27... Selling the house and everything about the house was very good. But if you assume, the priest will try to take everything for next to nothing. And this is bad. Is it possible to agree - to buy according to the assessment of the uniform of the old people. However, see for yourself. Is Father Alexey 28 a good host? Talk to him. And he and the priests are like brothers. If this fails, you can live like this. Even though it’s cramped, it has its own walls, and they’re old. Send Alexandra Stepanovna’s son 29 to theological school. Our path is clearer for us. Interpret to him that he has nothing to rely on but himself. Let him learn as much as he has the strength, and even through strength. Of the Yeletskys, Seraphim 30 completed the course. I would look for a place, time passes... Or let him work and give the work to stores. It will be good. Didn't she learn to draw? God bless you! Save yourself! Your good friend E. Feofan.” IR NBU. F. 160. Unit. hr. 1968. L. 5–5 vol. (Copy) I am sending you 50 rubles for the holiday. Of these, give Alexandra 31 15 rubles. God bless you! Save yourself! E. Feofan. There is also a letter to Seraphim P.R. 32 Please pass it on.” IR NBU. F. 160. Unit. hr. 1968. L. 6 vol. (Copy) “God's mercy be with you, Tatyana Vladimirovna! I very much regret that an error was unintentionally made in the address of the 50 ruble money package dated December 17 last year, which prevented the post office from issuing money to you. I was sick, caught a cold about four weeks before the holiday, and only recently recovered, although not quite yet. On December 16, 1891, in the morning I prepared money and a package for everyone in Yelets, but in the evening I became very weak and did not have the strength to finally prepare everything for sending to Shatsk on December 17. Due to weakness, there was confusion in the head, which was the reason for the mistake in the address. The error in your package is not the only one, there were others. Likewise, when sending you 150 rubles, a mistake was made; instead of Netsvetaeva, it was written – Makrinova... I saw this upon receiving your letter, when it occurred to me to see if a mistake had been made here too. And indeed, in the receipt from the post office about its acceptance of 150 rubles to be sent to you, it says: Makrinova, instead of Netsvetaeva. Perhaps your post office will not consider this an obstacle to issuing this last money to you, but I also mentioned them in the certificate that I am now sending to the Yelets post office. Having received this letter, you can go directly to Yelets and report to the office. You can take this letter with you about the incident. If the post office is not satisfied with my ID, then find out more specifically what else is required. Write down their words and pass them on to me. Poor Tatyana Vladimirovna! How long did you have to wait and endure? Guilty! The reason for this is my illness, which is already at the end and is barely felt. IR NBU. F. 160. Unit. hr. 1968. L. 9 vol. – 10.

IR NBU. F. 160. Storage unit. 1968. L. 7. (Copy) Fine. Arrange the house as planned. Regarding lad 35 - send a petition and then go yourself. You now have the money in your hands. Pay from it and prepare everything the student needs from this money. Then send the invoice and I will send it to you. Now I don’t have money, by the end of August or the beginning of September they will be... I’ll send it. I thank Seraphim 36 for working on the young student. God bless you. E. Feofan. P.S. I am writing to the rector of the school 37 now.” IR NBU. F. 160. Unit. hr. 1968. L. 7. (Copy) I am sending you 100 rubles. May God help you to repair your house... The roof is thatched, but after the straw comes planks, and then iron. Wouldn't it be better to install a plank roof? However, whatever you find better... Volodya 38 got a job in school... Tell him to study... otherwise he has nothing to hope for... Having studied, he can find a good place and live comfortably, but without studying, he will be in poverty. It’s better to study in a government house, what food... he and I have nothing to look at. Your priest’s children live!” IR NBU. F. 160. Unit. hr. 1968. L. 7 vol. (Copy) I am sending you another 100 rubles. The remaining required amount will be paid during Christmas time or after the New Year. For the holiday, Olga Petrovna will give you 50 rubles 39 . Of these, give Alexandra Stepanovna 40 15 rubles. You did well to give a hundred to pay off the debt. I will send the remaining hundred in January. What is needed for the son of 41 Alexandra Stepanovna - write, write down numerically how much is needed. And quickly, so as not to be late. Never write to me vaguely: you need it, but always indicate the object of need, and how much is needed for that. What is your pet's name - Dimitri or Vladimir, and what is his last name? Is he a good student? and whether you learned about it correctly. I am very happy that Serafima 42 is getting better. Why do you owe? When you need something, write. You can borrow something, just for interspersing... God bless you. E. Feofan." IR NBU. F. 160. Unit. hr. 1968. L. 7 vol. – 8 (Copy) Olga Petrovna refused to marry, but what does Seraphima think, doesn’t she want to become a deaconess, like the others, and then become a priest? If she wants, then you are there... and Olga Petrovna would spread the rumor that she has a dowry 43... P.S. However, if Seraphim doesn’t want to get married, then that’s better. I think that if you marry, it’s better to marry someone who is spiritual...good. IR NBU. F. 160. Unit. hr. 1971. L. 2–2 vol. I am sending you 100 rubles for your needs. They didn’t say anything about lad 44. IR NBU. F. 160. Unit. hr. 1968. L. 8. (Copy) I am sending you 30 rubles for your needs. Do what’s most necessary for now. I'll send more in a little while.
