208. В недостатке смирения надо сознаваться и укорять себя. Господь посылает скорби иным в начале пути, иным – в середине, а иным – в конце

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. May the Lord forgive you for your voluntary and involuntary sins. You need to admit your lack of humility and reproach yourself. That there were no sensitive sorrows, thank God who covers you, but do not indulge in carelessness. They write to St. Fathers, that the Lord sends sorrows to some at the beginning, to others in the middle of the journey, and to others at the end of the race according to His wise Providence. Give thanks for the past, and surrender the future to the will of God. May the Lord help you to keep the rule. God bless you to get up an hour before Matins. If you have strength and health, then you need to overcome laziness. I send my blessing to the cell attendant. Let him bow on the rosary, as in the Pentecostal - 30 bows, and the rest without bows. 6 rub. received, God bless you for your diligence, and 1 rub. dipped into a mug at Fr.'s grave. Ambrose. Also, the package arrived in good condition. But olives do not taste good, they are bitter. It's better not to send them. Asking for peace and God's blessing on you, I remain with the desire for salvation. You might be interested in:
