567. Приноси свои дары Спасителю – веру, надежду, любовь. Пред начальницей лучше молчать и смиряться

M. St. O. n. G.I.H.B.n. p.n. Thank you for your congratulations on the upcoming holiday, and I congratulate you as well. I wish you to meet us in peace and love and to bring us gifts for the sake of the One who is born: not gold, not frankincense and myrrh, but faith, and hope, and love - these three great virtues, for which you will receive reward from Him. Forgive M. for the sake of the approaching holiday and have love for her again. Nothing happens to anyone! But taking everything to heart and holding a grudge is very bad. It’s better and more beneficial for you to be silent and humble in front of her, for she is your boss. I really wish that peace may again enter your hearts, peace, without which it is impossible to receive salvation. And this holiday is a holiday of peace, for the Angels sang at the Nativity of the Savior: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace.” This world was brought to Him as a gift, as to a newborn Baby. And if she didn’t partake of the Holy Mysteries because of this quarrel, she did something very bad. By this you gave reason to rejoice over you to the enemy, the devil. It would be very good to hear if you tried to fulfill this duty for the holiday. I send forgiveness in everything. There would be no need to leave for Jerusalem with displeasure. If they let you go in peace, then go. And you can come directly to Optina, I think there will be no obstacles. 1 rub. received, God bless. Calling upon you peace and God’s blessing, I remain with the desire for salvation. You might be interested in:
