487. Без скорбей не спастись. Если сестра тебе делает зло, то ты делай ей добро и молись за нее

M. St. O. n. G.I.H.B.n. p.n. Novice Evfimiya Shinkareva! I received your letter. You ask where the misfortune comes from. – The enemy brings them for temptation. You must endure it with patience and do not get irritated with your sister, but think that it is from the enemy. He even tempts his sister to attack you. But be patient, don’t be angry with your sister, but forgive her everything and pray to God for her so that you may have peace. And ask yourself for patience, because without sorrow it is impossible to be saved. We need to humble ourselves more and reproach ourselves. If she does evil to you, then try to do good to her and it will be good. If you argue with her, there will never be peace. But there is no need to despair of God’s mercy - this is sinful. The Lord wants all sinners to be saved. Peace to you and God's blessing. You might be interested in:
