Sister Elizabeth in the Lord!
I received your letter, in which you describe your grief and anguish of spirit. This is an obsession of the enemy. Once I entered this St. abode, know that this is God’s blessing, and God’s Providence will guide you to the eternal Heavenly abodes. Just endure everything, the enemy may see something that you can bring benefit to this monastery and it is useful for you to live here. An insidious enemy and plunges into despondency. God will bless you to lay down the bones here, except perhaps for obedience.
You regret that you are far from Optina Pustyn. Others live close in body, but in spirit further than you. You shouldn’t have any trust in dreams at all; the enemy will tell you stories only to embarrass you. Only saints can have correct dreams, and you and I are far from them. For the destruction of our souls, the enemy even appears in the form of an Angel.
Be diligent in study, patience, humility, prayer and thanksgiving to God for everything.
You can remind your sister about money. God help you.
I ask for peace and God's blessing on you.
