Holy Apostle James, Brother of the Lord

160. Приучай себя больше молчать и молиться. Лучше молись о сестре, чем ее учить

Sister Justinia in the Lord! Accustom yourself to be silent as much as possible and keep repeating in your thoughts: “Virgin Mother of God, Hail, full of grace Mary, the Lord is with you,” all the way to the end, and thereby you will avoid many sins. The Holy Fathers teach this: whoever does not listen to you, do not tell him. It is better to pray for your sister than to teach her. Consider yourself worthless and worse than everyone else in the world, never condemn anyone for anything and forgive everyone, and then you will be saved without difficulty. But the judges, and the vindictive, and the proud, even if they pray, even if they fast, even if they give out money, if they do not correct themselves, then they have no and will not have a place in Heaven, but they will go to hell to the demons to be tormented forever without end. Read the Athos leaflet more often and let the other sisters read it too. Asking for you and your sister peace and God's blessing, I remain towards you with true goodwill You might be interested in:
