220. Смирение восполняет недостающее. О поклонах при чтении Великого канона. Если Господь посылает чувство умиления, остерегайся тщеславных помыслов

M. St. O. n. G.I.H.B.n. p.n. Sister in the Lord M. Magdalene! I wish you spiritual salvation. I received your letter. In the sins and weaknesses you described, may the Lord forgive and give a contrite heart for sins, which St. The Fathers call above all works. Also resort to humility, for it fills what is missing. Did you say anything to the sisters whom your cell caught doing something obscene? We should talk some sense into them. “Clean Monday” is a popular name, and I don’t know why this is so. In the Great Canon there are 3 bows for each verse and for “Glory, and now.” If the Lord sends tears of tenderness or contrition, then cry, but just beware of vain thoughts, and try not to let others see. During the service, try not to engage in any thoughts, but pay attention to the service and say the Jesus Prayer. And if feelings suddenly appear with tenderness, then you can remain in these feelings. But make sure that the mood is repentant, and not enthusiastic or vain. After confession, she imagined that she had confessed badly, and was embarrassed by this, then this was obviously from the enemy. May the Lord comfort Praskovya Lavrentievna in her grief over the death of her husband. Зачем они так думают, что он лишил себя жизни, когда он не был к сему склонен? Let them not think so and not worry themselves. May the Lord help you to complete the course of fasting in a soulful way and with tenderness may you be worthy to partake of His Passion and bring you into the joy of His Resurrection. Asking for peace and God's blessing on you, I remain with the desire for salvation. I received 5 rubles from Paraskeva Lavrentievna Galibina, but there was no letter from her.
