140. Надо противиться страстям и удаляться от того, что их возбуждает. Зависть мешает душевному спокойствию

M. St. O. n. G.I.H.B.n. p.n. God's mercy be with you. I received your letter. May the Lord help you fight passions and cleanse your heart from them. We need to humble ourselves more, and recognize our weakness, and ask the Lord for help. We must also resist passion with all our might and move away from what excites passion. We must have the fear of God and remember that not a single thought is hidden from God, and we must force ourselves to say the Jesus Prayer more often. You also write that you cannot reconcile with your sister. This is also not good. Why should you look after other people's affairs, know your weaknesses. And envy interferes with peace of mind. Reproach yourself more. I received 50 kopecks, God forbid. Calling upon you peace and God’s blessing, I remain with the desire for salvation. You might be interested in:
