82. О соблюдении поста во время Пятидесятницы

M. St. O. n. G.I.H.B.n. p.n. Your Reverence, Most Honorable Mother Abbess Lyudmila! I wish you God’s mercy and spiritual salvation, and God’s help in your labors and worries. I received your letter. You write that your health is being restored, I rejoice at this and pray to the Lord to completely strengthen your physical, and especially spiritual, strength. May the Lord forgive you for your sins, voluntary and involuntary. Don’t forget to repent to your confessor during confession. And then some cases are disapproving. That they allowed themselves to eat fish on Wednesday and Friday during Pentecost is still not a big problem, for the Church Rules also say that some allow this, although it is still added there that this is done out of foolishness. But dairy should not be allowed on Monday. You can get your fill of fish, and you won’t have to endure one day for very long. For the priest’s illegal act, he should be given a reprimand. There is no need to start big trouble, but he needs to be told what is due. You could talk about the icon with the Bishop about permission to place it at the station, if you find this necessary. May the Lord bless your buildings and help you complete everything. If you want to send it, it won’t be bad. Invoking peace and God’s blessing upon you, I remain with sincere goodwill.
