Sister in the Lord M. Magdalene!
I wish you God's mercy and spiritual salvation.
I received two of your letters and a parcel, God bless you for your diligence. May the Lord forgive you for the sins you described and strengthen your strength to continue serving the holy monastery.
Congratulations on the upcoming St. Great Lent, in which may the Lord grant cleansing of sins through repentance. I received the previous parcel with money, and an answer has been sent to you. I send a blessing to Varvara Vladimirovna, Evstolia and Pasha. May the Lord guide them to salvation. May the Lord deliver me from lustful thoughts. Let him say the Jesus Prayer and humble himself in his heart. In her illness, may the Lord give her patience, and also Varvara Vladimirovna. May the Lord deliver Eustolia from temptation and give him humility. Don't let her add rules.
I send a blessing to Praskovya Lavrentyevna. May the Lord comfort her. From Evstolia and Pasha 1 ruble each. received, God bless. The newly deceased Vasily was registered for commemoration. May the Lord rest his soul.
I saw the widow's letter. You can send, if you have the zeal, what to do. May the Lord give zeal and zeal for work, and most of all for humility and repentance. If you get up late, then hurry to church, and you can read the prayers after.
At the 3rd “Glory” of Kathisma, you can not remember anyone or anyone you wish. After kathisma, one must read the prayers that are prescribed after each kathisma, and after the entire Psalter - then the very last prayer, as it is said in the Psalter.
God bless Praskovya Lavrentyevna to come, Lydia can also ask to come with them. I received a parcel with money. You can give gifts to the poor sisters yourself, if Mother [has nothing] against it. Sometimes you can give to the poor little by little.
Calling upon you peace and God’s blessing, I remain with the desire for salvation.
