332. Духовная матерь. Какие помыслы надо открывать

Machine translation from the original · Show original
M. St. O. n. G.I.H.B.n. p.n. I wish you spiritual salvation. You ask about your relationship to your spiritual mother. You should love her like your mother. Show this love in prayers for her, in obedience to her, in opening everything to her and accepting her instructions with faith. If it is not forbidden to kiss the hand, then it is possible, but if she does not want it, then it is not necessary. If he ever convicts you of something, then do not be angry with it, but accept it with love as a healing for your spiritual weaknesses. Humble yourself and ask her for forgiveness. It is best not to accept visitors who bring you harmful and embarrassing conversations and refuse them. You can ask M. Magdalena for advice about this. You need to reveal those thoughts that confuse you and attract you to sin. Open with humility, not justifying yourself, but bringing them to repentance. May the Lord enlighten you, pray to Him. Peace to you and God's blessing. You might be interested in:
