247. Мы не должны противиться воле Божией. Надо молиться за тех, кого оскорбили. Пиши о пропуске служб и пятисотниц

M. St. O. n. G.I.H.B.n. p.n. Sister in the Lord M. Magdalene! I received four letters from you, both sorrowful and encouraging. The mercy of God be with you, and the Lord will arrange everything according to His will, which we should not resist. If your destiny is fulfilled, then accept this as God’s will and submit with humility, and do not grieve greatly. For St. The Lord will not abandon obedience, and the Queen of Heaven will help you. And if the Lord respects your petition and leaves you in his place, then thank the Lord again. You can refuse just once, imagining your weakness, but if they persistently demand, then it is a sin to resist. May the Lord forgive you for your sins and grant you the feelings of repentance and contrition that are necessary for salvation. If you offend someone, even if not intentionally, and then pray for them, that’s very good. Just reproach yourself more in prayer. You should write in detail how many services and five hundred days you missed. Through this, you yourself will be more attentive, and, perhaps, sometimes a significant amount of what you miss will lead to fear or contrition. But just for the sake of combing, the rules should not be abandoned. My health has now improved and I feel okay. I am writing to my old place, hoping that your request will be respected. And if the letter does not find you in Isaac’s desert, then do not grieve, but submit to the will of God. O. Zosima bows and thanks you for your memory, and asks your saints. He wishes you prayers and God's mercy. Calling upon you peace and God’s blessing, I remain with the desire for salvation. You might be interested in:
