will pacify more than waiting.
Venerable Mother of the Lord Agrippina!
I received your letter, in which you describe your spiritual grief about me, about the unrest in the monastery, that is, the enemy is inspiring you in order to disturb your spiritual world and bring you into anger against me. This is his business. No, dear, I will not separate my dear spiritual children from my heart, as much as I can, and I will give a piece to each one according to their need.
The Belevsky nuns say that they do not want your mother abbess, but we will submit this choice to the will of God, without Him nothing can be done.
About the Jesus Prayer. This is what St. Fathers: say the prayer simply with your lips, do not rush, so that you hear each word separately, and at the same time have a feeling of repentance that you are a sinner. “Lord, have mercy,” - at the same time, have faith that God is all Eye, all Ear. He sees and hears all the secrets of the heart. May God help you. Don’t mix with nuns, and you won’t hear and you’ll be at peace, but it’s wonderful how good it is to pray in church.
May the Lord forgive you, my spiritual child.
