34. Поздравление с праздником Рождества Христова

M. St. O. n. G.I.H.B.n. p.n. Your Reverence, most honorable Mother Lyudmila in the Lord! I bring you and all my sisters in Christ congratulations on the all-joyful holiday of the Nativity of Christ, which I wish you to meet and spend in spiritual joy, mutual love, peace in the Lord and health, and then, God willing, begin and spend the New Year in renewal of the spirit with the putting aside of the old man, for which I ask the Lord for His gracious help for all of you. I received your letter dated November 11th. In all your sins described by you, God will forgive and I, a sinner, by the power given to me from God, forgive and absolve. I humbly ask you, Mother, to send us to Kozelsk, to the bearer of a duplicate, at low speed, five poods (5 p.) of the best dry smelt, for which payment will be imposed. I thank M. Paphnutia for his bow. Invoking the peace and blessing of God upon you and upon all your spiritual flock, I remain with sincere goodwill. You might be interested in:
