422. О борьбе с плотскими страстями. Св. Отцы запрещают страстным жить уединенно. Молитву надо дочитывать до конца и не обращать внимания на помыслы

M. St. O. n. G.I.H.B.n. p.n. I wish you God's mercy and spiritual salvation. You write that you are dying from carnal excitement. May the Lord protect and have mercy on you. If passions rebel, then we must resist them, and pray to God, and ask Him for help, and recognize our weakness. If they overcome you, then you should not despair, but pray, repent before God, humble yourself, ask for help from the Lord, and try to abstain from them yourself. Don't judge others. For humility, the Lord will also give relief from the battle. And what you sleep from nine to nine is your choice. If they don’t give you a mantle, don’t be upset about it; it’s clear that God’s will is not there yet. Pray to God and try to correct the monastic rule, then the Lord will grant you tonsure. But beware of searching or asking, it’s not good for you. May the Lord arrange for the novice Alexandra to be saved; pray to God for her. You write that it’s better for you to live alone, then this is not true. Passionate St. The Fathers forbid living alone, but advise living with people and trying to overcome your passions with humility, patience and other virtues. Where can you do this alone? May the Lord help you. Try not to leave the prayer, but you must read it to the end, not paying attention to your thoughts. Calling upon you the peace and blessing of God, I remain with the desire for salvation. You might be interested in:
