133. Если будешь чаще укорять себя, более терпеливо станешь нести немощи других

Sister Justinia in the Lord! I received your letter dated June 19, I am praying for you and your sister. If you force yourself to engage in self-reproach and remembrance of death more often, then you will begin to bear your sister’s infirmities more patiently and for this you will receive a reward from the Lord. It is said: “With patience gain your souls.” If there are no occasions for patience, then salvation is not reliable, but now there is hope, although it is bitter to endure. God will forgive all the sins described, and I forgive and permit. Pray for your sister. Invoking the peace and blessing of God, I remain with sincere goodwill. You might be interested in:
