216. Паче всех деланий душевных старайся о стяжании сокрушенного сердца. Мысленно преклоняйся перед сестрами, ставя себя ниже их

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 3 letters from you, one of them contained 10 rubles, and I received mushrooms, all safe and sound, and 100 rubles. God bless you for your zeal; The poor will pray for you. The mushrooms are good, God bless them. For your congratulations on the holiday, God bless you. In your labors to save your soul and for the monastery, may the Lord help you and strengthen your mental and physical strength. May the Lord forgive you for the sins you have described. Try more than all your spiritual efforts to gain a heart that is contrite for your sins. This replaces all doings and makes up for the shortcomings in them. To provide food for the sisters is a good idea, and it will be beneficial to the soul if you do it. You can also ask your relatives. May the Lord rest in the Kingdom of Heaven for Nun Evgenia. When you send it, write for whom exactly. You can help the sick when asked, or you can even ask yourself if you need anything. God bless you to read the Psalter for Eugenia. Remarks must be made to the choir members if this is required, but love must also be maintained for them. You can go to the nun, but you don’t need to pay much attention to the sisters’ conversations. I send a blessing to Evstolia, Pasha and Varvara Vladimirovna and wish them spiritual salvation. Let them bow at their feet, it’s nothing, only in the church in public can this be prevented. They bow to you, and you bow before them mentally, placing yourself lower and more indecent than them. Regarding the 3rd “Glory” on the Psalter, do as you wish and tell Eustoli. Calling upon you peace and God’s blessing, I remain with the desire for salvation. You might be interested in:
