131. От грехов удерживайся страхом и проси помощи у Бога. Если дочь в монастырь не идет, надо выдать ее замуж, одинокой оставаться неполезно

I received your letter and stamp. God will forgive all your described sins, and I forgive and permit. It is necessary to force yourself to fulfill the commandments of God. You write that you cannot refrain from sins - this is not true. When you know that thieves are put in prison, that’s why you are afraid to steal, and in the same way, restrain yourself from other sins through fear. Ask God for help. At first it will be difficult to fight sin, but then it will be easy. I prayed for Anisia and Evdokia. If a daughter does not go to a monastery, then she must be married off, otherwise it is useless to remain single. Invoking the peace and blessing of God, I remain with sincere goodwill.
