111. Монахине Анфисе. О принятии схимы

Regarding St. schema, act like Serafima Klykova, i.e. when you are completely weakened, approaching the tomb, then you can accept the schema. There is no need to [do] the operation; it is better to endure sins for the sake of it. Klykova suffered for a whole year, but by the grace of God she was cleansed. After her death we saw her well. Sorrow and illness are fierce, but eternal paradise is sweet. He endured the Lord, and listened to me, and heard my prayer, and saved me. You might be interested in:
