499. Св. Отцы не советуют в одиночку выходить из монастыря. Свободное время проводи в келлии одна – за книгой или за рукоделием. Письма, написанные для тебя, другому могут быть не на пользу. Чтобы не было пустоты на душе, твори молитву Иисусову, а не празднословь

I wish you spiritual salvation. You write whether it is possible to take a walk for your health. With Mother’s blessing, you can, and certainly together, but St. is not advised to leave the monastery alone for a walk. Fathers. And I don’t give my blessing to people chatting idlely in their cells or drinking tea, and don’t invite them to your place either. Spend your free time either reading a book or doing handicrafts. If it really matters, then you can go.
The Akathist can be read when you have the zeal. You don’t need to tell others what you read, but rather remember it for yourself. Unless she’s illiterate, that’s another matter. But letters don’t need to be spoken at all, they are written for you, but may not be of any use to someone else.

I wish God's help to the servant of God Tatiana. May the Lord deliver her child Peter from illness. Let the doctor treat him. I received 50 kopecks, God forbid. And may the Lord grant health to her sister Tatiana. She needs to get treatment, and also ask God for help.
I received 1 ruble from the sick Euphrosyne, may the Lord have mercy on her and give her health. Let him serve the prayer service to the Mother of God and pray fervently.
Read the book of St. John Cassian with prayer, so that the Lord will help you understand it.
