245. Покаяние омывает все согрешения. Делай все спокойно и без раздражительности. Душа без молитвы чувствует голод

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 four letters from you. May the Lord help you in your labors, strengthen your spiritual strength, and give you zeal for salvation. May the Lord forgive you for the described mistakes and give you sincere repentance. And repentance washes away all sins. May you have peace in your cell. Indecent actions must be corrected, demands must be made, but if one does not obey, then one can tell the Mother Superior. If one of you is unpleasant, then you can tolerate it, but if others have to endure because of her, then you need to stop. What kind of sisters you stand up for and take care of them is good, there is nothing to ask for forgiveness here. It’s just better to do everything calmly, without irritability. You write that you are bad at correcting your rules. God will forgive, but you have to be forced. If you don’t improve, then humble yourself more and reproach yourself. Feelings of reverence should always be hidden; it should not be done for show. And it’s better not to get into disputes regarding religion - this is none of your business. If you see that it is better not to accept another sister for a conversation, then you can refuse, it is at your discretion, you know best. 3 r. received, and we remember nun Maria for her repose. May the Lord give you mortal memory. A gloomy mood may very well be due to neglect of prayer, for without prayer the soul feels hungry. My health is fine now, I go to church and go for walks. O. Zosima thanks for the memory and for the bow, and bows to you, and asks for prayers for himself. Evstoliya, Varvara Vladimirovna, Pasha and Varya and I send a blessing and wish God’s help to them. Calling upon you peace and God’s blessing, I remain with the desire for salvation. I congratulate you on the holiday of your monastery. You might be interested in:
