370. Монахине Еликониде (Ивановой), казначее. 1904–1908. Среди сестер всегда найдутся неисправные, как и среди двенадцати Апостолов оказался один изменник. Как должно молиться за враждующих

Most honorable mother of Treasurer Eliconidas in the Lord! You write that there are faulty ones between the sisters. I wrote to the Mother Superior, and I am writing to you, that it is impossible to do without this, that among the 12 Apostles surrounding the Lord Jesus Christ, there was one traitor - Judas. And the old proverb went like this: “There’s a black mark in a family.” Patience is required everywhere; for, according to the word of the Lord, he who endures to the end will be saved. And if there are no sorrows and nothing to endure, then why save us? After all, the Kingdom of Heaven is not given to those lying on their sides, but only to those who work and endure sorrow. You should pray for those at war like this: “Save, Lord, and have mercy on your servants, sisters (names), and for the sake of their holy prayers, have mercy on me, a sinner.” If you pray like this, you will be calmer. O. You can write to Isaiah. Peace to you and God's blessing. You might be interested in:
