341. Открывай помыслы с простою душою. Надо беречь свое сердце от самолюбия и тщеславия

M. St. O. n. G.I.H.B.n. p.n. Rejoice in Christ, Sister Barbara! I received your letter, in which you describe your state of mind and relationship with the treasurer. Thank God that you have made peace with your confessor, well, now try not to have any suspicions, and if anything bad comes into your head against your confessor, reproach yourself for that. Regarding the revelation of M. Treasurer - try to be a child, that is, speak everything like a child, with a simple soul and watch carefully how she will receive it, do not get carried away with affection, behave more evenly. Here we must mean not affection, praise and honor, but labor, contrite repentance, crying for sins. When she prefers someone else more than you, and you feel pain in your heart, your pride and vanity are affected. You must protect your heart from this in every possible way. God help me. Peace to you and God's blessing. You might be interested in:
