550. В деле спасения необходимо собственное произволение и самопринуждение. За небрежение или невнимание благодать оставляет нас

I received your letters in a timely manner, but until now I have not had the physical opportunity to respond, although I mentally wanted to do so. I’m not writing any moral teachings for you, you yourself know them well, and therefore it’s all up to your will and self-compulsion. Sometimes the Lord supports us tangibly with His grace, but for neglect or inattention to such manifestations of grace He Himself leaves us, He commanded us not to throw beads before... We humbly admit that we are truly like this, and for humility we will receive His help in our sinfulness. Peace be with you. Save yourself in the Lord. Don't ask your godfather. Invoking the peace and blessing of God, I remain with sincere goodwill. You might be interested in:
