299. Не верь радости внутри себя. Помыслы самохваления бывают от врага. Мужчин следует удаляться

M. St. O. n. G.I.H.B.n. p.n. I received your letter. May the Lord deliver you from passions. To do this, humble yourself more, do not judge others and diligently bring repentance to the Lord. If when you feel joy within yourself, then do not believe this joy and do not pay attention to it. Consider yourself unworthy of joy, but say prayer with a contrite spirit, with repentance. Consider yourself worse and more sinful than everyone else, and if thoughts come to praise you, then do not listen to these thoughts, they come from the enemy. Don’t skip prayers and correct the five hundred. Move away from men and don’t have them in your thoughts, otherwise it’s sinful. Do not quarrel with M. Apollinaria, but be more humble. Go to Mother. It's nothing to look at, which Apollinaria doesn't like. Don't complain about others, but more about yourself. May the Lord strengthen your health. Pray and ask the Lord for help. Peace to you and God's blessing. You might be interested in:
