433. Господь посылает всем, что кому полезно и душеспасительно

Sister in the Lord Pelagia! How long have you lived with sick Maria, you didn’t think that you would get sick, but now you think and worry. We must be firmly confident that without the will of our Heavenly Father not a hair will fall from our head, according to the word of Christ the Son of God. Always reassure yourself with these Gospel words and trust in the Lord that He constantly provides for everyone and sends to everyone what is useful and soul-saving. You can come to us in Optina alone. Fear not this temporary illness that cleanses sins, but the eternal, vigilant worm of hell, torment. Asking for you peace and God's blessing, I remain with good will towards you. You might be interested in:
