219. С раздражительностию надо бороться. На душе бывает легко по Божией милости к нам. Во всяком деле нужны труд, понуждение себя и терпение

M. St. O. n. G.I.H.B.n. p.n. Sister in the Lord M. Magdalene! God's mercy be with you. I received your letter. For congratulations on St. God bless you with fasting. May the Lord strengthen your strength and help you spend this time of repentance safely and beneficially and achieve the bright Resurrection. In the described weaknesses and sins, may the Lord forgive and help in correction, and especially in repentance. Everything that happens happens due to the weakness of our will, and sometimes due to a lack of humility. But there is no need to be embarrassed, but rather to humble yourself and look down on yourself. Try to fight irritability, force yourself. And what was bad yesterday, but now your soul is easy, then this is how it happens. But not because of our labors, but because of God’s mercy towards us, so that we do not lose heart. I send a blessing to Pasha and Evstoliya. Let Eustolia humble herself and reproach herself and learn patience. But you don’t need to grumble, you need to ask the Lord for help. In any case, work and compulsion are needed, and patience. Calling upon you peace and God’s blessing, I remain with the desire for salvation. From Yaroslavl I received 3 rubles. about the repose of the newly appointed nuns Alexandra and Vasily. You might be interested in:
