Peace of mind is lost through irritation Repeated trials should teach you how to restrain yourself from irritations, through which peace of mind is lost. It is impossible for everything to be according to our wishes; there are also things contrary to the test of our morality, to self-knowledge and to correction. It is necessary to ask for forgiveness from parents and have obedience to them And when you happen to upset your mother in some way, then quickly fall at her arduous feet, who worked hard for your upbringing, and ask for forgiveness. As soon as you force yourself, your conscience will be relieved in every way and your enemy the devil will be put to shame! And when an opinion creeps in again beyond your expectations, then immediately explain it to your mother - and you will immediately be healed, and all your burden will be eased! Although you set your intentions on the girl so as not to scold, but as someone who is ill with autocracy and arrogance, you are still overcome by skill. Why? Because you have neither fear nor reverence for your mother. And therefore, unbridled by anyone, you use your will, and self-thinking, and insult your mother, and damage yourself! Compelling the heart to obedience and obedience to parents You ask from my badness for instructions on how to act in bitterness to pacify yourself in order to reconcile yourself, then listen: we must accustom ourselves to pacification and humility not in such a storm, agitated and covering your feelings of soul and body! And to obey your mother in advance and not do anything of your own free will; but whether it’s good or bad - as mummy judges and approves, that’s what you have to force yourself to do, as mummy has approved. It is written: “Give blood, receive spirit” (that is, although you don’t really like some thing, you have ten best thoughts in your head), - you must, with great compulsion and shedding of blood, agree to your mother’s above-mentioned definition and little by little, by the goodness of God, you will come to such a dispensation that even as a great burden you will consider what you can complete only according to your own understanding, or what you advise to someone. During the time of great confusion and bitterness that you described, you could tame yourself. If you had the reverence and faith due to your mother, then even at such a time you could stop with admonishing words and humble yourself, but since you have long been stubborn in waywardness, rebellious, then in your great wisdom it seems to you that she is insufficient for you to guide and nourish! But I ask and pray, as much as possible, force your heart to obedience and obedience, and this will help you find peace in your soul. Must endure from parents Pyotr Ivanovich asks for my advice on what to do with his parent. I feel sorry for him, but there is nothing to do - he must suffer from the parent if something unpleasant happens to him. In many places in church history we see the fulfillment of the commandment to honor parents, no matter what their behavior. Listen to what I tell you and him: “Whoever honors his father will cleanse his sins, whoever honors his father will rejoice over his children and on the day of his prayer will be heard, who honors his father - may God’s blessing fall on you. The child will take over your father's old age. Even if he becomes mad about something, do not despise him and do not reproach him with all your strength. A father’s prayers are unforgettable before God. Do not leave your father in blasphemy, for cursed is he who provokes his father and mother. (Sir.3:3, 5, 12–14, 16). If the parent lets him go with a blessing, this is a different matter - God bless him; if not, I advise you to be patient. So, I write to you what I feel. To fulfill or not to fulfill is his will, and I rightly advise with all my heart what I wish both for myself and for you. Murmuring is soul-harming and God-hating Your cowardice and murmuring against God’s providence are harmful to your soul and hateful to God, and we should also attribute the event with the benefactress to God’s encouragement for the formation of your morality and to the training of patience, without which it is difficult and inconvenient to receive salvation! since the Savior and Redeemer himself commanded in St. The Gospel is this: “By your patience gain (that is, train) your souls; he who endures to the end will be saved” (Luke 21:19; Matthew 10:22). So, if Lyubonka was there, and especially against her will, her feelings were scattered, but she was saved from foolish attempts by the grace of the Almighty Lord and God! And that your shortcomings and debts, through the connection of the above, came to you, do not grieve much - the All-powerful and Almighty Most Merciful Lord will help you insensitively to payment and will untie you from everything, just force yourself to refrain from grumbling and try, to the best of your strength, to give thanks for everything: both for the sorrows that are found, and for His unsearchable providence and mercy! Don't complain about God and people You write that you are immersed in murmur against the Lord who created you. This, of course, is sinful - but I beg you with the love of our Savior, do not despair, but turn and resort to the Merciful Lord Jesus Christ, admit your sin with humility and ask Him for forgiveness and mercy. His compassions have not been shortened and will not be shortened until forever, but to those who repent and push, the doors of mercy are opened, i.e. Your sins are forgiven to you by mercy. And that you write that you grieve for me, this is not surprising, and I am a man servile to you, but I earnestly ask and pray that you be patient with what the Lord sends. “He is able to console you with all the blessings of earth, just surrender yourself resignedly to His Providence, and everything will soon change.” May the Most Merciful Lord forgive you all your sins, voluntary and involuntary, may He save you, and may He protect you from all the slander of the enemy. Let us repent of our grumbling before the Lord Your expression is unpleasant, and harmful to the soul, and looks like a murmur against the Most Merciful God, let us repent of this before God - from now on let us begin not to utter such words; You, mother, remember that “to him will be given much, and much will be required, and the servant who sees the will of his Master and does not do it will suffer much” (Luke 12:47-48). You should not be complacent in everything taught from the Most Merciful God; He alone knows what to give to whom. Avoid murmuring as a harmful poison And keep yourself from murmuring, like a pernicious poison. And in this regard, do not give yourself over to confusion and despair. In you, inside and outside, nasty actions resumed, because they were hiding and hiding inside, and when the action of the furious part and grief with zeal unexpectedly came, then with these faults they opened up and became furious. But may we resort, according to God, to the One Representative and Patroness of our universal Intercessor, the Most Holy Theotokos and Virgin Mary! And She, with Her all-powerful prayers and intercession, will heal all our illnesses of body and soul! Handicrafts drive away despondency I was honored to read your pleasant lines and listen to the content. Glory to the Most Merciful Lord, although He did little to strengthen your strength for the work of handicraft. We are confident that your time passes with joy, and despondency and boredom are removed from you! And you partly encourage and strengthen Mama’s feelings and thoughts out of cowardice. We thank you for your obedience to our insignificance in providing money. About the freedom of your good behavior and in obedience with passing love - consolation! If you leave Divine service, you will not have success in business Do not hope that you can achieve more in handicrafts, leaving Divine service: on the contrary, you will have more speed and success when you strive to please God.
