60. Поздравление с Рождеством Христовым и Новым годом. Должно терпеть, как св. апостол Павел терпел

Your Reverence, most honorable Mother Abbess Lyudmila in the Lord! I received your two letters dated November 9 and December 7. He also received fifty rubles by transfer by mail, of which three rubles were given to Fr. Anatoly. I would like to express my deep gratitude to you for what you sent. Thank you for congratulating me, a sinner, on the day of remembrance of Father Fr. Ambrose. And from me, a sinner, please accept congratulations on the upcoming holiday of the Nativity in the flesh of our Lord Jesus Christ and the following New Year. I prayerfully wish that the Merciful Lord will grant you, together with all the sisters of your monastery, to meet and spend these holidays and the coming feast of the Epiphany of the Lord in physical health, peace and tranquility of soul and joy in Him who, for the sake of salvation, has chosen to be born in the flesh, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Grieve from Anna Smirnovskaya. - What should I do? One must endure, just like St. The Apostle Paul endured, saying: “Let me be a dirty tricker of the flesh, the angel of Satan, and play dirty tricks on me, so that I am not arrogant. For this I prayed to the Lord three times, that he would depart from Me. And I said, My grace is sufficient for you; for My power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Cor. 12:7-9). With this I end my sinful writing to you. Asking for you and for your cell attendants: M. Paphnutia, Hilarion, Zosima, Onesiphora and Masha, and for M. Vyacheslav, and for all the other sisters of your monastery, peace and God’s blessing, I remain with sincere goodwill. You might be interested in:
