484. Укоряют – молчи, бранят – прощения проси

M. St. O. n. G.I.H.B.n. p.n. Novice Evfimiya Shinkareva! I received your letter. May there be peace between you! Try to keep peace. Don’t quarrel with your sisters and don’t judge their actions, but rather be silent and don’t get involved in their affairs, let them do as they want, and pay attention to your salvation. If they reproach you, be silent; if they scold you, ask for forgiveness. They talk to each other, and you do needlework or read a book. Consider yourself worse than them and do not complain, but think that you are worth it for your sins. Pray and ask the Lord for patience and humility. Peace to you and God's blessing.
