248. Плакать о грехах своих – лучше начальствования. Отвергай искусительные помыслы смиренным мудрованием о себе

M. St. O. n. G.I.H.B.n. p.n. Sister in the Lord M. Magdalene! The mercy of God be with you, and may the Lord calm your heart and give it peace and tenderness. I received both your letters. You write that they left you in your place. Well, thank God. Crying over your sins and listening to yourself is better than being in charge. Although for St. It is not a sin to take obedience and leadership. You ask if I made a mistake by refusing. But since you didn’t send the telegram and didn’t ask for it, it’s not your fault. Therefore, it pleases the Lord. Be calm about it. Now, in silence, take care of your soul, and surrender the future to the will of God. May the Lord deliver you from tempting thoughts. With humble wisdom about yourself, reject them if they come to you. O. Zosima thanks for the memory and asks St. your prayers. Calling upon you peace and God’s blessing, I remain with the desire for salvation. You might be interested in:
