175. Если при мыслях о себе бывают стыд и раскаяние, то их приемлет Господь

M. St. O. n. G.I.H.B.n. p.n. I earnestly wish you God’s mercy and spiritual salvation. I received your letter. For your congratulations on the Nativity of Christ and the New Year and for your zealous well wishes, God bless you. I wish you from the Lord the good of your soul and grace-filled help in going through monastic life. If you live carelessly and improve little, then think more often about who you are, why you came, how you live. If there is shame and repentance at the same time, then the Lord mercifully accepts this and imputes it to us instead of doing it. You just need to be more humble. Asking for peace and God's blessing on you, I remain with the desire for salvation You might be interested in:
