203. Проси у Господа сердца сокрушенна и смиренна. От недолжных взглядов надо себя хранить, а помыслы отгонять

M. St. O. n. G.I.H.B.n. p.n. Sister in the Lord M. Magdalene! I wish you God's mercy and spiritual salvation. I received your letter. May the Lord forgive your weaknesses and sins. You write that there is no more contrition and tears. Be patient and humble yourself more, considering yourself unworthy of this, and at the same time ask the Lord with a prayer for a contrite and humble heart. You need to protect yourself from undue views, and you need to drive away thoughts. May the Lord strengthen you in virtue. If you felt a sinful movement in your body during a conversation, then God will forgive you, you don’t need to repent to your confessor, but look after yourself in the future, and if something like this happens again, you need to open it up in confession, but don’t be embarrassed by what happens. A person is subject to change even until death and cannot remain in one state. God bless you to record errors. If, due to obedience or physical weakness, you miss a service or a rule, then you should not be embarrassed, but only bring repentance, and force yourself to the best of your ability. I send my blessing to Pasha. May the Lord protect her with His grace. Let her also protect herself from reasons for sin. There would be no need to go into the forest alone. Calling upon you peace and God’s blessing, I remain with the desire for salvation. You might be interested in:
