729. Р. Б. Ирине. Совет Старца поступающим в монастырь

You ask for blessings. God will bless you to live in a monastery, serve God and your neighbors - learn holy humility, endure everything, endure all lies, endure all slander with gratitude. For this you will receive the Kingdom of Heaven. Fulfill all obediences without grumbling, with gratitude to God, avoid talking, never condemn anyone for anything, do not reproach, do not be angry, do not be proud; Consider yourself the worst in the world - live as I advise you, and you will reign in Heaven with all those who please the Lord God. Whatever unpleasant thing you encounter from someone, read my letter more often, and you will remember that you need to endure everything for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven, and you will calm down. Asking for you peace and God's blessing, I remain with good will towards you. You might be interested in:
