283. Лучше уклоняться от неполезных знакомств и пустых разговоров

For your congratulations on the holiday, God bless you. May the Lord help you in your labors and guide you to salvation. God will bless you to come to Optina if it is convenient for you. If you asked when to serve a memorial service for Fr. Ambrose, then be at peace, they served. Pray for him and he will not forget you. If you see that going to the teacher is not beneficial, then you don’t have to go. It is better to avoid empty talk. And if you really call, then you can come for a short time, and then say that there is something to do and leave. Just don’t go without the blessing of M. Treasurers. The Lord is with you. Peace to you and God's blessing. You might be interested in:
