M. St. O. n. G.I.H.B.n. p.n. Most honorable mother abbess Lyudmila! I wish you God's mercy. I received your letter and rejoice at your joy in returning to St. monastery May the Lord strengthen your strength and prolong your life for many years. You are writing about a past mental ordeal. This was providentially sent by the Lord for your greater humility, for the knowledge of your weakness, for the correct judgment of others. And for this we must thank the Lord. Now may the Lord help your spirit and body to become stronger! And my health, by the grace of God, also improved almost completely. The illness went away without a trace, I continue to exercise as before. Invoking peace and God’s blessing upon you, I remain with sincere goodwill. I also received your letter. May the Lord give peace to the monastery, to the sisters and especially to your soul. Regarding the confessor, I will only say my opinion: it would be better to have one to whom all the sisters, or most of them, confess. If the other priest doesn’t like this, you will be at peace, because you are going with the sisters. Where it is required to speak, one must speak, especially if relaxation may cause temptation to the weak. May the Lord enlighten you. You might be interested in:
