59. Не ходить в баню после соборования до 40 дней есть простой обычай. Сила Таинства заключается не во внешнем образе, а в благодати Св. Духа

M. St. O. n. G.I.H.B.n. p.n. Your Reverence, venerable Abbess Lyudmila in the Lord! I earnestly wish you God's mercy and spiritual salvation. Welcome back to St. I heartily congratulate your monastery. What was found safely in the monastery, thank God; and that the sisters rejoice at the return of their mother, then even greater thanksgiving should be sent to God. May the Lord help you to work together in mutual love and peace of mind for the salvation of your souls. May your joy also increase, seeing your flock laboring well for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven. May the Lord hasten with His grace in your labors. That you should not go to the bathhouse until 40 days after unction, there is no truth here, but a simple custom. If you went, you didn’t make a mistake. And next time you can wait. The power of the Sacrament lies not in the external image, but in the grace of the Holy Spirit. On your acceptance of the Holy Mysteries, I earnestly congratulate you and pray to the Lord that he will grant you the opportunity to truly partake of Him in the eternal days of His Kingdom. I am sending the required books. May they serve for the spiritual benefit of those reading and for your joy. Invoking peace and God’s blessing upon you, I remain with sincere goodwill.
