479. Не будь дерзкой на язык, особенно со старшими. Пред всеми смиряйся и приучайся молчать и слушаться. Укорение и досаду Бог посылает для очищения грехов

M. St. O. n. G.I.H.B.n. p.n. Novice Evfimiya Shinkareva! I received your letter. God will forgive your sins, try to improve. Humble yourself more and don’t be impertinent with your tongue, especially don’t be rude to your elders, otherwise it’s not good. Humble yourself in front of everyone and learn to be silent and obey. Endure reproach and annoyance, because for sins God sends this to cleanse sins. And if you endure it with humility, it will benefit your soul. Pray to the Mother of God and ask Her for help. May the Lord bless your brother Kondrat, help him in his service, and comfort him. Pray for him. Peace to you and God's blessing. You might be interested in:
