525. Без скорбей и болезней не спастись

M. St. O. n. G.I.H.B.n. p.n. May the Lord help you in your labors and send you patience in your sorrows. Don’t be discouraged, but pray to God and thank Him for everything. We cannot be saved without sorrows and illness, but the Lord will not forsake us for our labors, just do it without grumbling. If they reproach you, be patient too, pray to God, and don’t judge others. Try to say the Jesus Prayer more often, it will be more fun to work with. You write that you are weighed down by the mantle, it’s something wonderful. And when it wasn’t, I suppose you wanted it? I send a blessing to M. Anthia. And may the Lord give her patience. Let him humble himself and consider that he is suffering such sorrows for his sins. Just don't grumble. Let him pray to God for his granddaughter, so that the Lord will arrange for her according to His will. And there is nothing to regret about what I said about the difficulties. That’s what should have been done so that she would know earlier. Peace to you and God's blessing. You might be interested in:
