If you humble yourself more, then you will have more peace. The Holy Fathers do not tell themselves to believe, because the passionate are often deceived
Eustolia is sinful and unworthy!
I received your letter. For your congratulations on the holiday, God bless you.
You write that you spent Lent poorly and celebrated Easter sadly. - Well, what should we do, apparently, we need to humble ourselves more and bring repentance to God, and not judge people. If you humble yourself more, then you will have more peace. Now be patient and do not be discouraged, but pray to God and ask for patience and humility. When looking after Mother, try not to notice the look with which she receives you. You don't need this at all. And you remember why you are going to her, and reveal what you need, she will not refuse to answer you. And if you listen to her, then it will benefit you. And the sight of her will do you little good. Moreover, the Holy Fathers do not command themselves to believe - neither their hearts, nor their minds, nor their eyes, because they often deceive the passionate. But we must humble ourselves, obey, and pray to God. The elder never said a kind word to one disciple in his entire life, and the disciple received salvation for his patience.
Peace to you and God's blessing.
