Truly Christ is Risen!
Most venerable mother of the treasurer Magdalene in the Lord!
I received your letter dated April 18 and thank you for congratulating me, a sinner, on the bright holiday of Easter and for your well wishes.
You are surprised that as soon as you send a letter to me, a sinner, then, without yet receiving an answer, you feel peace of mind and joy. - This is the property of revelation. This is what the Venerable Abba Dorotheos wrote about this.
You write that you go to a nun close to you. “But you walk with the blessing of Mother Abbess, which means it’s for obedience.” It's nothing. Just try not to go to her unnecessarily and without a special reason. When she calls, go, or if you see that she is upset, go too, and don’t walk around idle.
It's good that you include your address with every letter.
Asking for peace and God's blessing on you, I remain with sincere goodwill
