270. С клироса не сходи, а пой во славу Божию. За рассеянность чаще укоряй себя пред Господом

I received your letter dated March 15th and due to weakness and lack of time, I answer briefly. Don’t leave the choir, but sing to the glory of God. Bring to your memory Whom you sing. - God the Most Merciful, but at the same time a terrible and wrathful Judge. For absent-mindedness, reproach yourself more often before the Lord and turn to Him with the prayer of a publican: “God, be merciful to me, a sinner!” Peace to you and God's blessing.
