568. При болезни не надо печалиться, лучше Богу молиться и на Него надеяться. Искушение после Причастия попустилось за гордость. Надо стараться больше помалкивать и внимать своим помыслам

M. St. O. n. G.I.H.B.n. p.n. I send a blessing and wish spiritual salvation to the novices Evdokia Filippova and Agrippina Grigorieva. Novice Evdokia! May the Lord send you healing from your illness, and now - patience. There is no need to be so sad, but it is better to pray to God and trust in Him. And be patient, for this you will receive mercy from the Lord and forgiveness of your sins. If there is somewhere, then you can go for treatment. And pray more to the Most Holy Theotokos and ask Her for help. She won't leave you. Novice Agrippina! Apparently, because of your pride, the Lord allowed temptation to be with you after communion of the Holy Mysteries. Try to humble yourself more, and not judge others, but consider yourself the only sinner and worse than everyone else, and not condemn others, then passions will bother you less. And repentance must be brought for sins. So you write that you didn’t get a single answer, and you’re upset about it. But we should be patient and wait, and not get upset. Maybe the letter got lost, which is why I didn’t receive it, but there’s no need to be upset. And then you chat less and don’t tell others everything that comes to your mind, but keep quiet more and listen to yourself, to your thoughts. Yes, get used to saying prayers, it will be better than spreading empty rumors. There are enough mentors for your lifetime, just try to obey and correct yourself. Calling upon you peace and God’s blessing, I remain with the desire for salvation. You might be interested in:
